The Gangland and <a href="http://insidethatad.blogspot.com/www.bbdo.de/">BBDO Germany</a> ad look as if they could come from the same family. But the ad above is actually a recruitment ad for BBDO Germany.</p> <p>If I would have saw the ad I would have simply passed by it because I would have thought it was promoting a TV show. Well ok, maybe not me because I honestly love the show. But honestly as a print ad the message will not resonate with the intended target audience very well. An online interactive ad would work 10 better especially with young advertising professionals.</p>
