If you've ever found yourself complaining about how hectic your schedule is, then you'll appreciate these [Nescafe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nescaf-branding) Take Time Off advertisements.

Coming from ad agency [Publicis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-flipbook) in Venezuela, the campaign focuses on important things in life that you may be neglecting because of work, like your kids, friends and significant other. The ads show a computer screen desktop with icons covering the faces of these important people while a [Nescafe coffee mug](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-break) sits in the corner, reminding you to "Take some time off."

The Nescafe Take Time Off campaign is a friendly reminder to not let work take you away from the most important things in life: spending time with those you love the most - and also to enjoy a cup of jo while doing so.
