Advertisers Knew What They Were Doing When They Created These Inventive Ads

These companies thought up genius ways to sell their products using creative and unique ads. Check them out! We think you’ll be as impressed as we were.

But in 2007, Apple created the “Ultra Thin Mac” and marketed it with this genius ad. They make it appear like it is as thin as a newspaper. You don’t want to find yourself slugging around a clunky laptop when you could have the paper thin Mac on your hands.

They had Jean Claude Van Damme perform this stunt between the two vehicles to demonstrate the power and control of the power steering on the models. The one certainly sticks out from your other run of the mill car ads.

When the sun is at different points in the sky, the woman’s hair looks to be different colors. When the sun sets, her hair looks completely dark. This billboard alone might be convincing enough for us to stop by for a cut and color.

Depending on the time of day, the shadow will tell you which food or dirk item you might be craving. Absolutely genius marketing tactic to call out their breakfast menu and remind you that they do more than burgers and fries.

They turned the lines of the crosswalk into fries, naturally. Not to mention, they made this marketing ploy during one of the busiest festivals in Switzerland. Whoever thought this up deserves a raise!

Apparently, Axe make you smell so irresistible that women will be chasing after you. We’re not sure that this is a promise they can actually make, but it sure makes for a genius advertisement idea.

And they’re proving their point by having the DHL truck trailing after them. There’s nothing wrong with a little healthy competition right?Sorry, DHL, but FedEx has you beat in the marketing category (and in the speed category as well by the looks of it).

There have been so many different kinds of candy ads that it might seem impossible to think up something new and creative, but here they are with a very good reminder to have a break and a KitKat.

The hedgehog spikes so close to the delicate goldfish bags filled with water represent how effective, careful, and precise the feature is. This one definitely grabs attention and makes you actually read the text to know what it even is.

This subtle advertisement calls out those dads who might not have as much on their heads as they did in their younger years. The seeds on either side of the bun are a funny call out to the heads of so many fathers everywhere. Happy Father’s Day from McDonald’s, dads!

In the 1983 Le Mans race, Porsche came close to being the only car that placed in the top 10, but Sauber/BMW managed to sneak in and take 9th place. Nobody’s perfect, but Porsche still took 9 out of 10 of the spots.

You don’t need to take a seat on a bench to catch your breath. Just keep going to hit that runner’s high. To be honest, we prefer our benches with a seat, but to each his own.

It’s so sharp that it can even cut through your cutting board, apparently. We’re not sure if we need our knives that sharp in reality, but it does make the product stick out in your head. But, watch your fingers!

But upon closer inspection you’ll notice the blue sign below it with that classic Allstate slogan: “Are you in good hands?” Once the shock wears off, you might actually think about getting car insurance with them if you’re not already in good hands because accidents do happen.

BIC stands out with this billboard by showing just how close of a shave you can get with their product. Next time you’re perusing the aisles, you might see the bran and buy the product simply because their ad grabbed your attention.

But, it wasn’t until we read the text that we even noticed that the eyebrow was gone as well. This reminds us, we should probably schedule our next dentist appointment now before we forget.

Those two red legos aren’t just blocks stuck together because in the imagination of a kid, it’s an airplane. It’s a fantastic way to show all the things you can create with the blocks while demonstrating how creative kids can be with LEGO blocks at their disposal.

This is a great way to pull in our sugar-free friends out there considering there already aren’t all that many product options like this. Genius marketing!

This ad shows the temperatures outside as a way of reminding you how delicious a cold soda would taste on those warmer days. Are 102 reasons enough for you to stop in for a refreshing beverage? 

This ad implies that when your son or daughter spills that glass of juice (as they so often do), your Ajax wipe will have it cleaned up before it’s even on the floor. Nothing’s quicker. Are you sold?

They’re asking you to let the frightening news headlines blow right out of your mind and recommending that you go clean your lawn instead. 

It’s just a couple of kids who snuck away to the forest for some shenanigans. The fact that mother wouldn’t like it adds some edge to the car. It’s for the “cool kids”, which gives it the exclusivity factor.

Why just put the giraffe head on the sign when the entire pole could be the long neck of the giraffe. You’re seeing fun animals before you even step foot inside the zoo.

The 7 foot tall Philadelphia 76ers player might not be able to fit into the car, but it is a wonderful car for anyone who doesn’t happen to be over 6’7, which is the majority of us! Sorry to Wilt Chamberlain, but he might need to find a bigger vehicle.

And once you’ve had a few, you don’t want to feel tempted to give your ex a call. Enjoy responsibly. Phones down. Please.

So, maybe you don’t want to wear these out on the open water. But, they might be exactly what you need for the gym or when you go on a run. 

While their actual service couldn’t possibly be this fast, it does inspire confidence that they are the quickest in the game and it might make you more likely to use them to deliver your important packages as fast as possible.

So technically, this car can pick up more women in a very literal sense. It might not be as flashy, but it has all the space in the world to fit everyone you need.

It’s unique, exclusive, and flashy. This would grab the attention of someone who doesn’t want to blend in with the rest of the cars on the road. It speaks to that audience. It’s a one of a kind car for a one of a kind person.
