A series of [comedic ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/where-have-you-been) promoting Krisview CCTV feature people hiding from their oppressors behind their backs. Each ad has a different scenario where a person gleefully hides behind the back of the person searching for them. One ad shows a burglar stuck to the back of a police officer. Another has a worker sleeping behind his supervisor's back. The tagline "No more blind spots" is written next to the humorous visuals.

The print ads were conceived and implemented by [ad agency JWT Indonesia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiehls-response). JWT promoted Krisview by presenting scenarios where the surveillance system could be useful. By featuring scenes where the hider is literally behind the seeker's back, the ad agency is creating a sense of frustration in the viewer.
