I saw this ad in the newspaper before, so I looked for it today in AlWatan’s pdf format (the only positive thing about that newspaper is that they keep the ads in their pdf format), and luckily I found it and was able to save it for the blog.
This is a Skoda ad done for AlGhanim automotive.
(the names and arrows were added by me just in case you weren’t sure)
The idea is simple, a typical teenager in his room wearing his headphones being hip and cool and having posters of his favorite things on his wall, family, friends, singers and so on….and a skoda. So far so good, no problems with the concept so far.
In an attempt to localize the ad, the agency added Arab musicians too. My question is, is using these celebrities legal??? I am sure Ronaldinho, Brad Pitt, and Ricky Martin are not being paid to promote Skoda cars!! I doubt that Haifa Wahby or Nancy Ajram promotes these cars either ….. so how can they use their images in these ads???
Anyone know who did this ad?
This is Brad Pitt’s favourite car
اشدراك انت
بس هو يستحي يقول
يعني ماخذين موافقته صدقني
بس الباجي صراحة ما عندي علم
and do you see its normal for young men to hang brad picture on the wall ?
haifa or nancy i can understand but brad / Ronaldinho ? okaaaaaaaaaaay
You’re asking how can they do this? Well, easy… With a pirated copy of Photoshop.
with no law , expect anything, i believe if the skoda themselves saw the ad, they would go crazzzzy.
Absolute LOL (not the vodka):)
Yeah…ur right…esp since the posters are big enough to show who each one is
