I first posted about them in January, inviting you sex-starved ADs to touch your genitals. Well, they just won a Gold trophy in the Press category at Europe's Epica awards. I had mixed feelings about the campaign back then (particularly the dog execution), but I've come around. They're lovely. Congrats, Serviceplan, Munich.

Women—wanna get ahead in business? You gotta wear 5" fuck-me pumps.

Deichmann, headquartered in Essen, Germany, is the largest seller of shoes and sportswear in Europe, according to Wikipedia. 180 centimeters is about 5' 11". I would like to see some research on that "80% of top managers" claim. Anyway, 5' 6" females? What do you value more? Your career? Or your feet? And females under 5' 6", well you're going to have to wear stripper heels (like these, with a built-in tip slot) to work to succeed. Ad agency: Grey Worldwide, Germany. The creative team on this campaign was women, btw.
