One of the biggest challenges when advertising a product, is to come up with an idea that is not obvious, but still is clever enough to deliver the message your client wants. When you do that and still manage to be funny, you hit the jackpot.

Here are some examples of clever advertising and how a simple idea might be just the right one to go with. Remember, complex might not be best way, so stick to simple ideas... most times less is more! Found these on Flickr. Enjoy!

Hello, everyone! I'm Paulo Gabriel, a 24 years old designer from Porto Alegre, Brazil. I work as a webdesigner since 2006, but websites and blogs have been a hobbie for me since 1999. Here in Abduzeedo, I try to bring only the hot stuff for you... and hope that all of you enjoy my posts! You may also follow me on Twitter.

Hey Paulo!

Really nice collection!

What is pretty interesting to know is that "Hut Weber" the company from the hat ad is a really small hat shop here in Bonn, my hometown.
And when I say small I mean really small!

This ad was definitely done for a creative contest and NOT for this shop!

Cheers from Bonn, germany, Oliver

I live the Chaplin/Hitler ad - so simple and graphic. Here is one of my favorites, also a very simple idea executed perfectly, Vinyl Never Dies http://twoifbysee.blogspot.com/2008/02/vinyl-never-dies.html
