This ad campaign proves matchmaking isn't for lovers only

Because in business, there is such a thing as star-crossed buyers and sellers.

Goodfellas released a campaign for STClassifieds featuring the need to buy and the need to sell getting along correspondingly in perfect timing.

According to the agency, this campaign aims to highlight STClassifieds’ extensive coverage and to establish it as the go-to online marketplace for sellers and buyers alike.

The team based their creative idea on the simple economics principle of " For every buyer, there must be a seller". They wanted to portray the online portal as an ubiquitous medium that caters to the ever-present desire to buy and sell.

With the dramatic Singapore skyline as its backdrop, the launch ad for ST Classifieds’ kicks off the key benefit of the online portal.

The campaign highlights the portal’s extensive coverage and reach by featuring its wide range of products and services as well as its many diverse buyers and sellers.

Through the use of simple but vivid visuals, Goodfellas wanted the audience to realise that they did not need to look far to find a potential buyer or seller. This is best encompassed by the print ads' tagline: "Sell it or buy it. At stclassifieds.sg, whatever you're looking for isn't hard to find."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
