Lives Way More Interesting Than Yours

 

Lives Way More Interesting Than Yours

The great majority of us are not as adventurous and well-traveled as we might think we are. In fact, if we think about it, we are surrounded by ordinary objects that have traveled far more than us.
Based on this simple but powerful insight, we created a series of print ads that tell the exciting stories of a paper clip, a disposable lighter, a coin, and a pencil, in a way that pokes fun at our own sedentary lives.
