Masterlock, A joke is a very serious thing

3 August, 2008

Masterlock: Hippies
“Tough Enough For Any Job”

Masterlock: UFO

What a fantastic, funny, nice looking, clever and insightful campaign. Not HA-HA funny but made me smile. Nice photography, nothing spectacular but appropriate. Fine retouch job and tone/mood although I am questioning how long the muted thing will go on for. Perhaps for longer than this ad will.

It is quite brave for a lock company; definitely love the cow/UFO and the hippy/tree images. good work.

  1. Terrific ad campaign for something as unexciting as locks. The muted tones are appropriate and the UFO trying to abduct the cow is totally clever. Is that third one the magician who couldn’t free himself or someone capturing the “Phantom of the Opera?” Anybody know?

  2. I think the third one might be one entertainer locking the competition up so he could perform the entire show himself. Anybody else have an impression of it?
