Creativity in advertising can still be underappreciated by many brands. However, those who choose to go creative can sometimes live in our heads rent-free to this day. Who else casually remembers Galaxy Z Flip 4 portrayed as benches for the outdoor ad, just me? Okay then.

Anyway, in this list below, we have selected the most brilliant ads that deserve to be praised despite them being ads. It takes a lot of talented professionals to make these masterpieces, and to appreciate their input, this is the least we could do.

We hope to support creative people in all sorts of industries, and advertising is one of them. Hopefully, we will never be short of creative ads that even we, as consumers, happily enjoy seeing.

    I'd recommend changing the head, though if you've cleaned the floor with it first................

    Im so proud of anyone who quit smoking, most people don’t appreciate you guys quitting enough (I’m also proud of anyone who stopped anything else harmful to yourself) everyone deserves recognition for the struggles you got past. Love yas and stay safe ❤️❤️

    Those ciga box, always have the effect of smoking, people still buy. Also, most of them are litter bug who just throw it on the floor after smoking.

    Whoever the artist that did this, and the advertising mind/team behind this, I hope they were paid well. Not only is this well painted, but this is just genius.

    Yep. My sister-in-law is 40 and looks like she's in her 50s. Smoked for about 20 years. My wife never smoked and still looks like her 20s and she's only 38.

    It could also be a good advertisement for the appalling throw-away eco disaster that is the modern, unrepairable mobile phone. Especially Apple's Buy a Fairphone instead.

    Here in Germany, somewhen around the turn of the century, I think, Burger King advertised with the slogan "Weil's besser schmeckt" ("because it tastes better") - which they then aggressively postered especially directly in front of McDonalds restaurants. Sometimes they even included directions to the next Burger King.

    I've always found adds that needs to mock their competitors and mentions them by name to be a bit tacky. Be a bit more creative and come up with something of your own, instead of just doing ad hominem attacks.
