I’ve always been a fan of the ads for The Economist. Here are a few smart – but in some cases, maddeningly simple – executions that anyone in advertising will be angry they didn’t think of first.

  1. (Re the first photo) Hey, that’s where I used to work!

    Both at The Economist and in that building. Woo!

  2. Some of them could do with an explanation, but that first one is top class. I like it.

  3. An Economist reader doesn’t need an explanation.
