100 Creative Advertising Ideas

Advertising ideas come in several flavors:

If you own a small business, your "advertising idea" might be a postcard mailer, a radio or TV spot, perhaps AdWords text ads or a print ad in the local newspaper. That's media.

If you are a copywriter or an art director at a multinational ad agency then the term "advertising idea" means something quite different.

You get paid to think conceptually, so your "ad idea" might be a vivid metaphor to position the product in a crowded market.

Or a sketch of a memorable brand character.

Or perhaps a compelling direct response offer. Those are creative concepts. And that's what we feature here.
