7-Eleven Thailand’s 2016 Teachers’ Day ad captured hearts by showcasing the story of a 96-year-old teacher, Mom Rajawongse Rujisamorn Sukhsvasti, who refused a staggering offer of 1 billion baht (around $29.2 million USD) to sell her small, wooden school in the heart of Bangkok. The Wannawit School, nestled among towering high-rises on Sukhumvit Soi 8, has been her lifelong mission since 1967, where she’s taught and nurtured countless students, often using her own money to help those in need. This tear-jerking ‘sadvertisement,’ produced by CP All’s MAM Heart agency, is part of a tradition in Thailand where such emotionally charged ads are released to honor teachers on January 16, Thailand Teachers’ Day (Wan Wai Khru). The video not only celebrates the dedication of teachers like Rujisamorn but also reinforces traditional Thai cultural values. The ad was a viral sensation in 2016, deeply resonating with viewers and highlighting the importance of teachers who go above and beyond for their students, embodying the true spirit of education. Thailand Teachers’ Day is a significant event where students across the country pay homage to their teachers, a tradition rooted in ancient beliefs and Brahmanism. The ceremony is observed in all Thai schools, with many graduates returning to honor their former tutors. Each year, the 7-Eleven Teachers’ Day ad is eagerly anticipated, known for evoking strong emotions by telling true, inspirational stories of teachers' unwavering commitment.

Finn.no’s latest campaign, created by Oslo agency Morgenstern, takes a cheeky jab at that dreaded Monday feeling, especially for those stuck in jobs they dislike. The ad humorously suggests that the cure for Monday blues is finding a better job, which you can do through Finn.no’s online job listings. The star of the campaign is a hilariously annoying personification of Monday, who shows up at the worst possible moments to pester his coworkers. In one standout spot, he interrupts a woman in labor, suggesting she squeeze in a work call despite being seven centimeters dilated!

Nike dropped a follow-up to its 'Winning isn’t for everyone' Olympics campaign just in time for the Summer Paralympic Games. The new spot, titled 'Winning Is Winning,' was narrated by fencer Bebe Vio and carried the same punchy tone as its predecessor. In the 30-second ad, Vio and other Paralympians, like Markus Rehm and Núria Marquès, showcased the grit it takes to compete at their level. Vio’s voice-over dismissed the idea of being content with just participating, driving home the point: “Last time I checked, winning is winning.” Starring: Markus Rehm – Track & Field – DE Beatriz Hatz – Track & Field and Long Jump – US Nuria Marques – Swimming – ES Jetze Plat – Cycling & Triathlon – NL Leon Schafer – Track & Field – DE Alexis Hanquiquant – Triathlon – FR Bebe Vio – Fencing – ITA Diede de Groot – Tennis – NL Ixhelt González – Basketball – US Noah Malone – Track & Field – US Niels Vink – Tennis – NL Charles-Antoine Kouakou – Track & Field – F Song: "Symphony No. 9" by Beethoven Ad Agency: Wieden + Kennedy Amsterdam Brand: Nike Year: 2024 #AdsOKPlz #Advertising #Marketing #CreativeAds #paralympics #olympics

KFC Thailand launched a new campaign called “Uncle KFC’s Rice Bowls,” flipping the script on the usual franchise vibe by turning Colonel Sanders into a friendly 'Uncle.' This move aimed to offer a warm, homey touch that really clicked with Thai culture. In Thailand, rice is a big deal, central to every comfort meal and daily life. Though KFC has been a chicken favorite there for over 40 years, fried chicken is seen more as a treat than a daily comfort food in the country’s rich culinary scene. The campaign rolled out a funny and heartwarming film featuring Colonel Sanders as a lovable, slightly awkward “Uncle” or “Loong” in Thai. It tapped into the nostalgia for familiar local eateries run by friendly figures, making KFC feel like that favorite neighborhood spot.

Ogilvy Brazil's 2013 ad for Dove Men+Care shampoo poked fun at the clichés of women's shampoo commercials. The ad humorously suggested that using women's shampoo makes your hair grow ridiculously fast and move in slow motion, which the clueless guy in the ad only noticed when his co-worker pointed it out. The message? Stick to Dove’s Shampoo for Men if you don’t want to end up with flowing, lustrous locks like a woman.
