Untimely GPS Ad Campaigns

Garmin Warns of the Consequences of Being Lost & Late

It’s true that life can sometimes take you in the wrong direction; these ads for Garmin GPS really make that message loud and clear. I love the sense of humor used in all three ads. The young man who arrived “years” too late to propose to his girlfriend because he got lost is an absolute hoot! 

The ads were created by Tri-C Communications, Bangkok with creative direction by Boonsunh Chalard, Wesaratt Sangkawanitt and Sarut Ekwisahn; the copy was written by Suphat Bhandharangsri.
