Eyetex Dazzler

When it comes to advertisements, most of the viewers are not only impatient, but now many are armed with ammunition to skip them altogether: the fast forward option. Therefore, creating an ad that not only gets the viewer’s undivided attention, but in fact, makes them rewind and watch it again is not a cakewalk. An ad that connects so deeply with its simple yet brilliant thinking deserves worthy credit. Here, I make a tiny contribution to the credit of that campaign by sharing it on this platform.
