# Human Lollipops Dum Dum Pops Ads By Ayman | Published 2008-09-14 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humans-as-dum-dums-pops References: [adsoftheworld](http://adsoftheworld.com/media/print/dumdums_banana) & [dumdumpops](http://www.dumdumpops.com/) This playful ad campaign for *Dum Dum Pops* shows humans as three of the lollipop flavors. We have the banana, root beer, and mystery flavor. In addition to being effective by communicating that the pops have a flavor strong enough to make you look like the flavors themselves, I love the art direction. The peeled banana is just the best. The campaign was photographed by Bobby Prokenpek for Creative Circus ad agency in Atlanta with art direction by Peter Kehr. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Print](https://www.trendhunter.com/print) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Playful Ad Campaigns:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in creating ad campaigns that use playful and imaginative concepts to capture audience attention. - **Visual Storytelling:** There is potential for disruptive innovation in utilizing visual elements, such as art direction, to enhance storytelling in advertisements. - **Personifying Products:** Exploring the concept of personifying products can lead to disruptive innovation in advertising, allowing brands to create unique and memorable campaigns. ### Who This Affects Most - **Advertising:** The advertising industry could benefit from embracing playful and visually captivating campaigns that engage consumers in new and unexpected ways. - **Food and Beverage:** Incorporating creative concepts, such as personifying flavors, can disrupt the food and beverage industry by creating memorable and appealing branding strategies. - **Art and Design:** In the field of art and design, there are opportunities for disruptive innovation in utilizing visual elements, such as art direction, to tell compelling stories in various mediums, including advertising. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Lollipop Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chupa-chups-campaigns.md) - [Lollipop-Flavored Popcorn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lolly-poppin-chupa-chups-popcorn.md) - [Zesty Dippable Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-lick-bubble-gum-pops.md) - [Lollipop-Inspired Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chupa-chups-x-hismile.md) - [Digital Candy Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worlds-of-flavor.md) - [Sensory Multi-Flavor Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flavour-playlist-xxl-lollipop.md) - [Gel-Infused Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chupa-chups-frooze-pop.md) - [Craft Cocktail Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-cocktail-lollipop.md) - [Drumstick-Shaped Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-x-fresquito.md)
