Ladbrokes Resorts To Monkey Business With New Ad 22 April, 2009
NEWS
Never afraid to push the limits with its advertisements, Ladbrokes once again goes over the top with its latest TV campaign, which can be viewed above.
Back in early-January, Ladbrokes released its "Quench your thrill buds" campaign which was soundly quashed by the UK's Advertising Standards Authority citing that it "portrayed gambling in a context of toughness, and linked it to excessive risk taking and reckless behaviour."
The recently released campaign features a man playing hide and seek with a giant Sifaka Lemur and concludes with the line, "Don’t hide from thrills, seek them out at Ladbrokes.com."
The commercial was created by ad agency M&C Saatchi and directed by Scott Lyon.
