Playful Hospital Room Delivers Serious Message

healthTEDDYBEAR150.jpg

We’re late getting to these but these Ministry of Health in Portugal ads created by McCann Portugal are great. The imagery is fun and playful but the message is very serious: don’t screw around with your health. Be sure to monitor your blood pressure and cholesterol level before it’s too late.

In one ad, we see a huge teddy bear dressed as a doctor with a inflatable giraffe/nurse in a doll room attending a sick woman. In the other one, a man is alone at night in an emergency room made with Lego. See both ads here and here.
