Below are the bright examples of where advertising does not work. Time and money for creative, production and media have been spent, and not make much sense and the desired effect of advertising is not. Advertising is, but it does not work.

When there is no sense

For example, in February of this year in Moscow was posted advertising Sochi football club, "Pearl-Sochi" with the image of David Beckham (David Backham) and the slogan "We have given up on him."

Instead, in order to improve communication infrastructure of various types of transport, money is spent on pointless social campaigns that cause the population completely reverse the planned effect. The whole story of the cartoon series about Sapsanchik - cute train accident, which all hurt unfairly - is an example of a completely meaningless to the image point of view of the campaign, as the embodiment of which is only ridicule.
