20 Creative Ads that Make You Want To Wait For The Elevator

Advertisements through mass media and banners are getting too mainstream that people have grown accustomed to ignoring these ads, and at times actively avoiding them. So much is spent on advertising that failure to grab bypasser’s attention is simply a hint that the technique used is not good enough.

But don’t take our word for it, check these 20 creative elevator ads out for yourself and see if you agree!
