Print advertising is still the most powerful way to communicate the right message to your target audience. Unfortunately over the past couple of years in Adelaide there only has a small number of advertising agencies, but things are looking better for Adelaide and South Australia, as smaller design agencies are starting to produce more clever advertising.
If print advertising in brochures, print catalogues, flyers, posters and billboards is done in a creatively funny way, getting attention will be a lot easier. Most businesses today make sure to achieve this idea for their print advertising campaigns to stand out among their competitors.
With digital media such as viral videos, it’s easy to overlook the creative art of print advertising, but it’s still relevant and as powerful as old vintage posters ever were, whether it’s small scale or a massive form of advertising. As the saying goes ‘It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be’.
You still need a good well thought out concept that’s going to stick in people’s minds. Take a look at these funny, amazing, innovative ads and we guarantee you’ll be jumping with inspiration by the time you reach the bottom.
