ASCII adwords

Sixt.Ascii

This campaign for Sixt car rentals in Germany, by Jung von Matt, has got to be one of the simplest and smartest campaigns I’ve seen in a long long while. All they did was convert standard word-based text ads into ASCII-based text ads. The result? A 47% increase in clickthrough than before.

Simply brilliant and brilliantly simple. Please not, when I casually drop phrases like “All they did…”, I am of course expecting that you’ve read my recent post on simplicity. It is in no way meant as a degradation to the fine thinking at JvM.
