Remorseful Flower Ads

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Kanukte Flower & Event Flower Posters Show How to Bury Guilt

— June 26, 2014 — Marketing
These flower posters created for the Kanukte Flower & Event show plants doing one of the things that they do best—helping to say "sorry" for a mistake that was made.

The ads show large bouquets of flowers swallowing up words like "Sister in law," "Las Vegas" and "Secretary," helping their sheepish senders to set things straight. Although the specific scenarios aren't spelled out, the ads are printed with the tagline that reads: "Hide the guilt," suggesting that somebody did something bad enough to warrant sending flowers on an occasion that's not a holiday.

The funny ads for Kanukte were created by the TWBA agency in Instanbul, Turkey, showing off different color schemes and bouquet types in addition to being a great start to a story.
