I just thought I would share with you a few adverts I saw whilst on holiday in Poland (more about this on my travel blog shortly!)


Poland is a country of contradiction – on the one hand, thousands of pounds are being spent on advertising, but on the other hand, the average Pole earns around £200 per month! But what amazed me even more, is the size the adverts over there – they are absolutely GIGANTIC and very interesting graphically speaking.

  • A Pespi can on Lodz’s main commercial artery, Piotrkowska – I also also saw this Pespi can in Krakow and Warsaw

  • An inflatable dog advertising Velvet toilet paper on Piotrkowska in Lodz (photo taken from a rickshaw)

  • A gigantic advertising screen in Manufaktura (shopping centre) in Lodz

  • A Converse ad in Warsaw

  • An Era (mobile phone supplier)/Sony Ericsson ad on Market Square in Krakow

And finally, a Play (mobile phone supplier) ad in Warsaw

I was really surpised to see that both Eva and Play (mobile phone suppliers) advertise their products in a sexual way – do you think this type of advert would be acceptable  in your respective countries?
