see the list of most clever advertisements in India

“It takes a big idea to attract the attention of consumers and get them to buy your product. Unless your advertising contains a big idea, it will pass like a ship in the night. I doubt if more than one campaign in a hundred contains a big idea.” – David Ogilvy

This one by Tide.

The Amando Milk ad in building makes us think and when you get their concept, it’s super cool.

This charity ad which raises awareness about disability is really touching and powerful.
