Um..what the what, what? Are we missing something here? We’re all for a good cause but we’ve looked at this Chi & Partners-created ad for the UK’s Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation for quite some time and all we see is an empty bed.
OK, so yes, we get that the empty bed signifies a person who’s no longer with us but, really, this add is so clinical it could be for a hospital bed manufacturer.
Could we have a headline? Tagline? Some heart string pulling copy?
Or are we just too stupid to grasp the simplicity of this message? Yea, it’s probably that.
