It is Raining LIPS!

I saw this creative AD months ago on  a french magazine, and i was almost sure that i will see something similar on the Lebanese billboards very soon...
And i was right!!!!
An annoying "Siblou" campaign, and:
The very boring " Exotica" campaign! It reminds me of some toys AD back in 1980 ! what do they mean with that slogan by the way "you're the final touch"? Hanging your kids on the Tree?!
Guys why you waist all your money on boring new advertising campaign showing boring mouths?!  when "word of mouth," is a very powerful Marketing tool.

you know the difference is the minix ad is smart, the lips are small and cute, just like the minix who fit perfectly in a small mouth

but the siblou is just annoying

and exotica... makes no sense for me

You know the difference is that Europeans are much more creative, and we are so lazy to create

Nice post!
I guess Siblou is funny but what is so boring are exotica campaigns in Lebanon

Gaby said...

The Siblou one is just weird, sick actually!
The Exotica brand has been going down for a while and is obviously sinking even lower...This Christmas campaign makes no sense at all!

For some reason I remembered the Hawa Chicken copy of the exact same version from France...of course in a much cheaper way too

They aren't hanging the kid on the tree, he is leaning in to kiss it (or the ornament) as the "final touch" of decorating the tree... but still it makes no sense, who kisses a Christmas tree?!
