Grey's Annahar Advertisement

Below is one of the most simple yet touching TV commercials that I have seen in a long time. The simplicity and yet complete relevance to the topic at hand is striking (especially with Gebran Tueini's quote - may he RIP), and the visuals compel you to focus on every detail.

I usually do not like political advertisements, and this one is not entirely political but advertising for Annahar newspaper (which tends to have a political side), but I felt that it was much more creative than other advertisements in this category. This campaign was done by GREY. Let me know what you think.



UPDATE: Apparently, this ad has been inspired (I don't want to say stolen) from a Chinese Ad for CCTV. Thanks Nadim for the info.

  2. hmmm.. it definitely has the same concept and very similar elements.. It's sad that everything that we come up with is stolen from other countries. Really depressing.
