Zing Ads

A micro-story built around the single most powerful thing a brand has to say.

A sleepless man lying awake, lit by a phone screen
A bin beside a doorway with the line: you're not blind, you just choose not to see
A shirtless man standing beneath a hanging noose in a dim room
Two figures on opposite sides of a long roadside wall
Motorcycles parked by a shuttered shopfront with the line: if reality doesn't fit, we manipulate
A violinist playing in low warm light
A framed photograph on a table with the line: some bonds grow, never wither
A woman stepping out of a Kerala doorway with a handbag
Khatarnak — ensemble poster with the cast, an armed lead, a car and a dog against an orange blaze
