Some people are so artistic. I never would have seen a skeleton just looking at all the tools in our garage. But there it is, the vision of Y&R Chicago advertising agency.

This [visual campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-billboards) gives a whole new meaning to their ad logo "There's a [Craftsman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/build-hub) in all of us." They have a Craftman organs and a Craftman muscles. You have to love the "dustbuster" lungs.

**Implications** - One of the best ways a brand or company can create a strong connection with consumers is by featuring advertising that personifies aspects of their brand. By making the company and their logo seem human, companies connect with consumers on a personal level.
