Copenhagen Pulls in Another Victory!

Copenhagen takes the top spot this month with a clever piece of outdoor advertising for the new Electrolux 1700 Watt vacuum cleaner. Zurich comes a close second with a humorous print campaign for Schweppes. Barcelona and Paris share third position, with another in a long line of simple but effective print ads for Hornimans and a shocking print campaign for the Surfrider foundation respectively. In fifth place it’s London with a TV ad for Virgin Mobile and sixth it’s Bucharest with their latest work for Save the Children. The Czech Republic takes seventh place with a print campaign for Marca CZ – Orion, with Tel Aviv not far behind in eighth position and a TV ad for Elite Turkish coffee.
