Suffering Crises Untold? Pray a Hi! Photographer Finds You

everyone-smiles.png

For Sri Lankan society magazine Hi!, Leo Burnett Solutions Inc. put together three ads with a dark (but friendly!) feel.

The tagline: “Everyone smiles for Hi!” The angle: Even in miserable situations (a funeral, a riot, a stampede of Nazis or psychotic clowns) you’re still gonna smile for a Hi! photographer.

The effort will appear on TV and in magazines, as well as at high society functions in the form of what the PR people call “quirky activations.” Is that a euphemism for “overhead projectors”?
