These new ads for Omax Lens must be targeting the perverts as they show that (thanks to the Omax wide lenses) you can stalk and perve on people in public places without giving yourself away. I must admit its pretty witty and cheeky, but a bit worrying at the same time. Imagine if a knife was sold like this: ‘this knife is really good if you want to murder someone..’ The ads were done by Publicis, India.
The guys at Harvey Nichols always come up with creative and unusual ads (see their previous campaigns here).

Brilliant photographer Bela Borsordi did these "Fashion Faces" for online shop Yalook. Who needs models when you can create faces from the shirts, jackets, and pants you are trying to sell??? Check out the engaging videos to see them in action!
This interactive 'hands on' ad promotes Instinct, a new macho fragrance from Axe that features a leather-like smell. So the idea of the interactive magazine ad is that the leather smell will get you into the woman’s pants. I find the positioning of the bottle between the two breasts pretty sexual, what do you think?
The ad was done by Lowe/SSP3, Bogotá, Colombia, with photography by Esteban Sostnisky and art direction by Margarita Olivar.

Pretty powerful and witty campaign by Australian ‘Adults Surviving Child Abuse’ organization. The ads show that some wounds never heal, and it’s never too late to seek help if you were abused as a kid. While we can’t take back what happened and change the past, we can help change the future. If you were abused as a child, please seek help. Also make sure to support your local organization that helps these victims.

Nike are flowing their men vs. women campaign with a fun campaign to launch their Nike Free 5.0 shoes. Check out their Bear Butte Running Camp campaign featuring some world champion athlete, all naked of course! The idea? The shoe is so good and light, it’s like running barefoot.
And here is a different version with Nick Symmonds
And if you wanna get technical, here’s more info about the Nike Free 5.0.
