50 Marketing Ads That Actually Have Some Threatening Vibe

Advertising is a science. Unfortunately, there are always some crazy scientists with wild ideas about how things should work.

There are many hilarious examples of their creativity at work. A Facebook group called “Ads with Threatening Auras” is dedicated to crazy ads that actually send creepy and threatening messages.

We live in a consumer society, and companies are racing to sell us things we need, don’t need, or might need in the future. With such fierce competition, they all rely on commercial ads to convey their messages.

In their effort to stand out from the crowd, they often try to be creative. However, the thing about creativity is that it can easily go overboard, and people often do...

One famous marketing expert once said that marketing agencies are not in the business of being creative but in reusing what works. Obviously, none of these marketing “experts” seems familiar with his words.

We have compiled a list of 50 of the most threatening ads, and we know you are going to enjoy them. So, if there are any people from the marketing industry reading this – please, use this as a “what not to do” manual.

This Facebook group is very popular and has surpassed the 100,000-member mark. It was created by Áron Somos.

"We are surrounded by so many advertisements that just don't feel right. They're either odd, cringe-worthy, or weirdly funny," he said.

Judging by the trends and the competition in the markets, we can assume that marketing messages will become even weirder. Even though we can't know if they are successful, one thing is certain – they are fun.
