New Post-it® ads: Smart? Or, too smart?
(click ads, via) You have to think, which is good sometimes. But maybe these make you think too much, and you're confused. The doctor one is easier to get. But the first execution is not as clear, and kinda creepy, stalkerish. The layouts look nice. Your call, expert industry readers. Ad agency: Grey, São Paulo, Brazil.

I want to know how she was able to come down that rope, holding a glass of wine. Didn't she spill all of it?
I'm thinking - too hard - that maybe there was something lost in translation? Nothing escapes "your mind"? I get it that Post-its are nice memory joggers, or tools to keep you from forgetting, but slipping out a back alley via a rope ladder? With a glass of wine? Oh! I get it! She's been drinking, more likely to forget! And the doc is so busy with his clipboard and doctorly duties that the thing he wanted to remember descended a rope ladder down to a dark alley and was then BUSTED by a bright Post-it note spotlight. That helped him NOT to forget that thing he wrote down on a Post-it note.
Dave (not sure how sarcastic you're being): these are things not escaping our mind: Doctor's appointment, hot date.

thanks, c-r, for 'splaning that! :-) i totally missed it.
what struck me was the knotted rope for the lady, rope ladder for the gentleman? i would have swapped those around.
I-)
Too complicated and open for different interpretations (as seen above. Hence proved)
these are obvious.
but made for award juries.
lets just move on.
I could maybe escape the Doctor thing, but not that red dressed Lady.
Once I saw the doctor ad, the woman in red ad made sense.
Guessing perhaps that means the "hot date" execution is maybe a little flat.
It has perspective problems. Puts me in the shoes of the subjects—feeling petrified. I get the need for drama, but at the risk of making your product seem like a scary human fly swatter? No thanks.
She has a meeting... Probably a dinner.
Too smart for Dave, then, so... too smart
