With the end of 2008, it is time to reflect on the top ad campaigns. Here is the Top 50 Ad Campaigns in 2008 by Trend Hunter magazine. The ranking is done according to the number of views a post had, so this list is kind of generated by the readers who made the trends popular not by editorial choice, which makes it more exciting. Quite a few of the ads in this list were featured here in this blog.

Shockvertising refers to shocking and controversial advertising. Shockvertising involves the use of blood, violence, and excessive sex. The approach has been overused but it still seems to work in grabbing the attention of viewers. In the end, a negative but viral ad is more effective in generating brand awareness than a boring safe ad.
The second official episode of Trend Hunter TV showcases ten of the most shocking advertising campaigns this past year and explores some of the current shockvertising techniques such as fake lesbians, fake murders, and even employees getting punched in the face to promote their agency!
