Although I would normally advocate exercising your own mental capacities and capabilities in a more natural way, the Berocca Think Sharp ad campaign has really intrigued me with regards to this tablet. The clinically proven mix of [vitamin and mineral supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graymatter-bright-mind) will not only make you "think sharp," but it will essentially help you to perform better throughout the day overall.

Conceived by Singapore-based [ad agency](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axe-campaign) JWT, the Berocca Think Sharp ad campaign is comprised of three [print ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legitimate-you) that show two people being pitted against each other. Although one looks to have the stronger, upper hand, the other is simply relying on his ability to outsmart his opponent (thanks to Berocca, of course). Simple yet effective, the Berocca Think Sharp ad campaign will certainly intrigue you as well.
