Nice!! Cute idea…execution 'could' have been better, but overall, I lIke!!

Kind of reminds of a Michael Jackson scene i saw, where he's in GENERAL clothing, and walking infront of an army somewhat!!

I agree with Whiteredvette…the idea reflects the market dominance of the brand General.. you have several ranks in the army but the highest ranking officer is the general..similarly you have numerous AC brands in the market but there is just one leader..

ATTENTION….Not that great Idea, nor execution..but its stand out from the usual stock image, scary face ads in this market…and a relevant message for the product good try guys…kudos to DDB team..and we salute general finally!!!

It seems to be a growing trend these days for clients to consult real agencies for good ideas, then take it to the lower cost "executor" to save money.

Nice job at using someone else's idea.

an international agency should of came up w/ their own idea rather than steal someone elses

You mean to say that General had a pitch with Ad Agencies and 'used' some ideas and have it executed by someone else? Is DDB a 'lower cost executor'?

JT

Precisely. The poor business ethics is more UTC's doing than DDB. No offense to DDB, and I am sure they can come up with some good work on their own, but in this case it wasn't theirs.

JT, could you please explain what is that "Real Agencies" or name them and please show us your Real Ideas!!! Ttry to show us a link for this original Idea, than just bla bla…though I am not the one associated with DDB!

That's quite a claim, or should I say 'accusation' from you JT. I am not for DDB as well (I liked some of their creative works, not this one tho') could you be more elaborate?

Well I am associated with DDB and hope JT can back his claim..infact it would be better if you could get your facts right before you accused someone…why dont you and Bulbul pass by our office and we would be happy to share with you our presentation for the pitch..this was absolutely DDB's idea…and just for the record, we presented before your so called "Real Agency" and if your agency were really "Real" then you wouldn't be cribbing now…looks like a case of sour grapes here…

Bill anyone can do a presentation, and Anyone can Steal an Idea,, but only a few can come up with one.

Bulbul – That's why I say, why dont you spare a bit of your valuable time and come over to my office and I will show you the presentation which was done and pitched before you guys..then may be you will stop blabbering..

I know your so called real agency, you dont really have any real work to brag about..stop pointing fingers at others..
