Creative Advertising – Inspiration and Ideas

As a designer, I really appreciate it when I see ideas visually communicated well and creatively. There’s so many spammers out there! It’s refreshing when designers and ad agencies put in the time and effort to catch people’s attention in new, unexpected ways. Here’s a compilation of ad campaigns I found particularly creative, and these are all done with custom stickers.

Hopefully, they can inspire you to think of new ways to use a sticview custom decal!

sticviews can be used for out-of-the-box creative advertising in so many ways (check out our 101 Uses for Stics! article).  Here’s a couple reasons why you should consider printing sticviews for your next ad campaign:

  • sticviews are customizable – upload your company logo, your hi-res image, and pick the exact shape and size you need to fit whatever you’re sticking
  • great for small companies because we require no minimum order. Don’t need thousands? Just print one or two if you want!
  • sticviews stic anywhere! They look great on walls, ceilings, glass, cars, and our cloth stic material stic really well to textured surfaces.
  • they are easy to apply and easy to remove. You can install them yourself – no installation fees. They always come off clean, so rest assured that wherever you stic’ em, they won’t harm the surface you stick it to (i.e. cars, walls, windows).
  • sticviews don’t fade indoors or out and they’re waterproof. Your print will look great no matter what the conditions.

I hope you all feel inspired! I really enjoy browsing through design blogs and picking things out that impress me. I’ll try to compile some more examples of great design, so be lookin’ out for more inspirational blog posts from me. I’d also love to hear from you guys – what sites do you find inspiring? Which one of these campaigns do you think was most well executed? Tweet me on Twitter, post to our Facebook wall, or leave a comment below.

Until next time,
Sonya :)
