Created by Talkreative Advertising from Manila, Philippines and Creative Director Noel Denola, the campaign is a [cheeky, yet simple duo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youll-swear-by-them) of images. One features a friendly peace sign, while the other image is of the middle finger; both ads are created with sticky notes. The Scripti Notes ads do their job perfectly, proving that stopping someone in their tracks doesn’t have to involve [fancy imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-advertising-campaign) or lots of copy.
