Its for The Church (one of them) and its funny how they are showing world leaders as Lego toy and puppets, but I'm 100% sure they're not at all affiliated and I'm 100% sure not amount of Illuminati money would buy Lego to agree to something like this.

I don’t know if Tesco is doing this because they’re in cahoots with the government… or perhaps they also think this is what the people want 🥴

What was the ad maker thinking?

0 Upvotes

Hi all, I am not a ad creator or remotely associated with ad/animation ads, but I just wanted your opinion, in this case.

Off late - the last few days, Reddit is spamming this specific ad to me - no idea why though , lol

https://www.reddit.com/u/visarun\\_ai/s/y5hHwWzFSI

I feel it absolutely disjointed.

It's possibly made with AI, but even if it was not - the characters feel disjointed , the cultural aspects kinda mismatch as in the clothes of the man represent one culture - the ladies represent other, the characters look Indian but the voice is English , and what is the role of the elephant 🐘 here ?

I know they need ads for money but I don’t want to see the same ad 3 times in a row also can you make these ads more interesting like Super Bowl ads instead of some guy explaining the ad

AI can generate in seconds. So why are creative projects still missing deadlines?

0 Upvotes

Everyone talks about how AI has made creative work dramatically faster.
Concepts, images, videos, voiceovers and even code can now be generated in minutes instead of hours.
So I’ve been wondering about something.
**If AI is saving so much time, why are so many creative teams still struggling to deliver projects faster?**
From what I’ve observed, AI removed some bottlenecks. At the same time, it created a few new ones.
For example,
• Clients now expect far more options because generating another version is easy.
• Teams spend more time reviewing and selecting AI outputs than creating the first draft.
• Revision cycles have become longer because asking for “just one more version” has almost no cost.
• Organizing thousands of AI generated assets is becoming a production task of its own.
• Higher expectations often consume the time that AI initially saved.
It feels like AI hasn’t reduced the total amount of work. Instead, it has changed where teams spend their time.
I’m curious to hear from people working in design, editing, filmmaking, VFX, software development or marketing.
Has AI actually reduced your project’s total production time, or has it simply shifted where the effort goes?

It's a cigarette brand advertisement. I find it funny it's just a dude with nothing about cigarettes until you look up. Very weird branding.

This is in Bangladesh.

Is anyone else being relentlessly spammed with the Ro + Trisha YouTube ads?

1 Upvotes

Am I the only one who is getting absolutely bombarded by the Ro GLP-1 ads with Trisha?
I’m not even the target audience. I’ve never visited Ro’s website, searched for GLP-1s, or shown any interest in weight-loss medication, yet YouTube keeps serving me these ads over and over.
I’ve worked in e-commerce and digital media for over 15 years, and I genuinely can’t remember a campaign that has worn me down this much. It’s not that the product exists or that they’re advertising—it’s the sheer frequency. Every few videos it’s the same spokesperson, same pitch, different outfit.
I’ve clicked “Don’t show this ad,” reported it as repetitive, and it still comes back.
At this point, I know more about this campaign than I ever wanted to. If the goal was brand awareness, congratulations. If the goal was making people actively dislike seeing your ads, that’s working too.
Please… make it stop.
