41 Shockvertising Campaigns

From Deplorable PSP Posters to Powerful PETA Ads

— August 26, 2009 — Naughty
From PlayStation Portable displaying a dismembered player in order to promote the retry button to PETA chopping up and packaging a human like it is tonight’s dinner, these shockvertising campaigns all have the eye-grabbing feature which advertisers oh so desperately strive for.

In today’s media saturated environment, shockvertising campaigns have become increasingly prevalent. It seems the only can’t-miss way to satisfy the gluttonous visual appetite of today’s consumer is to show them something that they cannot stomach. Bon appetit.
