China holds the current world record of executions with executing 1,010 people of 1,591 confirmed executions worldwide. Although the Beijing Olympic committee declared that hosting the Olympics will ‘help the development of human rights in China’.

• China executed more people in the last three months than the rest of the world did in the past three years, as per the human rights group Amnesty International.

• China currently uses capital punishment for many crimes, ranging from tax evasion, corruption and racketeering to murder.

• China is one of the few countries now using capital punishment, and its rate of executions is disproportionately more common than in any other.

• China has held more executions annually than any other nation; in 2006 it executed as many as ten times more people than the country ranked second.

• China’s use of capital punishment for minor crimes is often cited as one of the many human rights problems within the country

Here is a great concept not being executed properly. The ad is Public Service Campaign by Kingfisher Beer     ( Kingfisher is enjoyed in over 55 countries world wide) targeting pregnant moms with a message “You drink your Child drinks -Avoid consuming alcohol during & immediately after pregnancy”.

I don’t know which agency developed this creative but they could have done a better job.

Thank you Reddit, muchos Gracias meneame.net (The Spanish social agregator) for appreciating and making the earlier “Focus Rehab Centre - Old Junkies ad” popular. Here is the concluding series of Outdoor Marketing ads for Focus Rehab Centre, UK.

Bus-Shelter ads can be used for general market coverage for an entire area or in some cases like this one, FOCUS Rehab Centre has cherry-picked Bus Shelters to target a specific demographic (needless to mention) and a geographic area.

Again this is a brilliant campaign, appropriate usage of emotions in the communication, building substantial impact on reader’s attitudes

I am an advertising buff, brands titillate me and creativity accelerates me. I could spend hours viewing good creatives. I think, live, eat, sleep, spend, carry brands.

Here is one of my favorite Print campaign’s – “There’s no such thing as an old junkie” from the year 2007. I admire this campaign - It’s very strong, attention grabbing, effective, very well executed and has good insight thought. Last but not the least excellent pictures.

In marketing and advertising language we call it HARD HITTING

The Old Junkies campaign, Take back your future campaign was developed for Focus Rehab Centre at Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO, London UK by creative director Paul Brazier, copywriter Bern Hunter and art director Mike Bond. Photography was by Spike Watson.
