19 Of The Smartest Indian Ads Ever. They Will Blow Your Mind. WOW!

You are about to learn the exact definition of ‘clever advertising’. We know that advertising in India doesn’t sell if it doesn’t  involve ‘Khans’ or ‘sex’. It needs a lot of creativeness to compete in this tough advertising market and to catch the eyeballs of mass audience. While not many companies can do it, some pull it off perfectly without investing much.

Earlier, we had done ‘worst advertisements‘ and we think these billboards and print ads need your attention too, because they are creative, intelligent, meaningful, and they will completely blow your mind. Here are some of the best Indian ads ever in the history of advertising.

1. You don’t need to spend much on advertising if you are super intelligent, and Naukri proved it.

2. This ad by Indian Post is little scary but it caught our attention with their social message – ‘Don’t turn a blind eye to accident victims’.

3. This Mahindra’s old ‘black & white’ print ad looks sexy without even employing the real ‘topless models’.

4. This antibacterial ad by Sanitol is little provocative but it is too good – “Touch him. And you touch everything he’s touched.”
