These ads for Renault Service center in Spain use mirage-like imagery to convey their message that they are always open--even on holidays. The first ad places a stranded couple in a way that resembles the Nativity scene. I love the scarf over the woman's head and dog positioned as a farm animal.

The ads were created by [Publicis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solutionoriented-holiday-ad) advertising agency in Madrid, Spain.

**Implications** - Advertising agencies have to find ways to stand out against competitors. By creating ads that call upon the user to double-take, such as the [print campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-hides-price) for the [Renault Service Center](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scenic-suv) in Spain, the agency will manage to have a resounding effect on the viewer.
