Luxor Highlighters - Chaplin, Hitler and Che - press ads, India

Leo Burnett Mumbai uses Hitler, Chaplin and Che for highlight marker Luxor ads.

What do highlighters do? They highlight important parts of the story, right? Here they do more than that - if you read what's been highlighted you get another story alltogether. Ten extra gold stars to the entire team for managing this, and copywriter Russell Barrett, it must have been a royal pain to do.

I don't feel like reading the entire text to see what it says, but the fact that the high-lighted bits form a coherent story is quite neat.

Silver? I thought it would get a gold.

Maybe at Cannes?

Yup - at Cannes. The campaign won Gold Press Lion (Cannes 2008). ;)

.... and then promptly lost it again for being a Scam ad (I suddenly realized I hadn't updated this post to include that info - fixed now).
