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

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
