Client: Olympus
Agency: The Red Brick Road, Londres

Anonymous said...: How very apt for a title. One Last Click. But I suppose for some, it's worth the risk. I think Olympus did a really great job with this ad. I'm pretty sure a lot of adventure-seeking people out there are raring to give this tough camera a try. Feeding the market's imagination with something like the shark experience can be a little hard to resist.; 10:51 pm

Why does the art direction force us to make a detour after the first paragraph? Sloppy, repetitive writing tells us that this is a tough camera and, further on, it's called the Tough Camera.

The whole thing could have been pared down, honed and turned into something simpler.

In a Frank Lowe owned agency of the 70s and 80s it would have been. Not any longer.; 2:12 am
