Ads that had us fooled in the best way!

April 1st is a day when we can have fun with one another. We get excited for the humorous creativity we get to experience and try to spot the April fool, the humorous headline, or the false ad. It’s a day where we value homorous creativity and a day that allows brands to be that much more personal.

Being part of the advertising world, we at RTL AdAlliance love to see advertising being that much more celebrated and being part of the pop culture that shapes discussions. And thus, we have collected some of our favourite April Fools’ Advertisements from the last years and hope you will enjoy them as much as we have!

Personalisation and exclusivity are everything these days. A legacy brand such as Porsche is of course at the forefront when it comes to fulfilling their customers wishes.

Together with Patina paint, Porsche supposedly launched a brand-new paint job, that is not only reminiscent of the olden days, but it will also make your new Porsche that much more unique.
