A little bit of political advertising
This time last year we were approached by The Independent on Sunday to produce some mock political ads for an article that ran last Christmas. At the time we were feeling very bah humbug about Christmas and maybe this came across in some our ideas.
With the upcoming election next year The Independent are planning to revisit the article and have asked us to have another crack at the politicians. And with the pre-Budget report of yesterday ringing in our wallets we’re more than happy to have a few stabs.
So this time I thought it would be fun to post our ideas and scamps as we go along but seeing as we haven’t even started yet here’s some we thought of last year. You can download a PDF of last year’s article below and remember to check back in the coming days to see our scribbles.

‘Taxo’ wins hands down for me. Topical (increased taxes announced yesterday) rather than plain cynical.

I loved your ‘Labour’s put us all in the red’ one. So brutal. Looking forward to the next installment. When’s the Indie running the piece?
