Dogs and cats with human ears will seem like a magic spell gone wrong in the 'Harry Potter' world, but for The Post Internazionale ad campaign, it simply signifies an insider's stance in the political world. As though the treasured pet of an important politician, be it Barack Obama or Vladimir Putin, readers of The Post Internazionale will be privy to many of the dealings and wheelings that he (or she) undertakes.
The Post Internazionale ad campaign was conceived and executed by Lowe Pirella Fronzoni, an ad agency based in Rome, Italy. Art directed by Alessandro Izzillo with creative direction by Francesco Taddeucci and Luca Albanese, the print ads are as comical as they are creative. Nevertheless, that doesn't negate the important issues discussed in the publication.
