			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">In searching for inspiration for classifications, I came across an interesting ad campaign in <em>Coastal Living</em> from Delta (the faucet people). Created by <a href="http://yandl.com" target="_blank">Young &amp; Laramore Advertising</a>, based in Indianapolis, the campaign is something very different for a company that designs faucets for kitchens and bathrooms.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">The campaign is at least a year old. Last year, Thomas L. Collins of DirectMag.com <a href="http://directmag.com/opinions-columnists/makeovermaven/marketing_delta_ad_witty/" target="_blank">wrote</a> in length about Delta&#8217;s campaign, and even took it upon himself to come up with a redesign. He calls the campaign witty, but pointless.</p>
<p>His main issue is the fact that the headlines are &#8220;Loofah,&#8221; &#8220;Plantain,&#8221; &#8220;Sponge&#8221; and &#8220;Toothbrush&#8221;.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t mind that so much. Sure, it isn&#8217;t the product that is being sold, but that isn&#8217;t really the point of the ad. For me, the headline clearly states &#8220;what&#8221; is doing the talking. It doesn&#8217;t bother me so much.</p>
<p>While I agree with some of the points he makes, I still prefer the original ad over his redesign.</p>
