15 creative ideas from the Gulf

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

Came across a campaign for Polo – the mint with a hole, in Ads of the World. We’ve seen several executions of the ‘Mint with a hole idea in India’, including this cracking one created by Freddie Birdy & Naved in the early ’90s. I found these expressions fresh and unique.

Over the years, there’s been seen a steady improvement in idea and more importantly, execution of creative ideas from the Gulf. Here are a few that illustrate the point:
