‘’Freedom comes in all sizes’’ Ad Campaign by Mercado Libre and Gut
Most of the times, the fashion industry sells something more than just clothes. It sells a body ideal, something that every women looks upto.
But for Mercado Livre, the biggest e-commerce brand in Latin America, launched a new campaign which delivered the message that all bodies are ideal.
That’s why for fashion campaign in Brazil, Mercado decided to change the narrative and create a platform where every woman could feel represented and included.
Fashion doesn’t have a fantastic track record when it comes to diversity, with women often accusing brands of failing to cater for a wide range of body types.
Not to mention but, there are a lot of stereotypes in fashion industry. so e-fashion site Mercado Libre shot the same online ad introducing models of many different body types, allowing everyone to choose the clothes in the right size for them.
Viewers were then redirected to the e-commerce platform where clothes in the corresponding size were available. The message from the agency Gut and Mercado Libre was that freedom of expression through fashion it gave a message to the society that fashion should be available to everyone, no matter what their shape or sizes are.
Samsung – ‘The Frame’: Where’s the art? Ad campaign by Leo Burnett Sydney
In the ad, promoting Samsung’s QLED technology for its TVs, we see frames in famous museums and galleries suddenly going hollow, causing a sense of confusion among staff, visitors and forensic experts trying to get to the bottom of it all. Eventually it’s revealed that the cause is man looking at the artworks on his Samsung TV screen, which displays art in “stunning detail” when the TV is off.
The spot was created by Adam & Eve/DDB, and directed by Gary Freedman via in-dependent Films. It’s running globally online sice 2019. This Ad campaign by Sam-sung uses the ultra-flat, high resolution screen which can be personalised to dis-play something far more interesting than a black screen when you’re not watching your favourite show. In order to demonstrate the idea, the TV was placed among genuine artworks and photographs in a new gallery called – guess what? – The Frame in Australia
AMUL ‘‘Amul Doodh Pita Hai India’’ Ad campaign by Sylvester daChunha
Every home in India trusts Amul when it comes to buying milk or any other product related to milk. It because Amul has built its image as the most pure, reliable, and family friendly brand.

Started by Sylvester daCunha, and now made by Rahul and daCunha and also led by daCunha Communications, the Amul Girl topicals precede today’s moment marketing excess with dollops of shrewd observation, witty copy, and lots of memories.
Another example of Amul’s product was its butter, go to any pav bhaji or dabeli food cart and the ones that keep the box of Amul butter front and centre often have more customers. It’s an unwritten rule of sorts and this ad clearly illustrates this phenomenon. “Amul Doodh Peeta Hai India’’
