30 Double-Spread Magazine Ads That Will Make You Turn The Pages

Magazine ads are considered a more traditional form of advertising and they take up over 30% of conventional magazine space. However, if done right, marketers can make use of their ads to be more focused on a particular target audience by choosing the right magazine to feature it in. This also paves the way for higher reader involvement.

Thinking outside the box definitely helps in creating impactful and effective ad,s and double page spreads leave plenty of room for creativity and innovation. I’ve put together 30 creative examples of double page magazine ads to show you what I mean. Let’s just say you probably wouldn’t mind a magazine filled with ads, if they’re as interesting as these!

MacBook Pro: Ultra thin by SVA New York, USA. So this is what it feels like to have a Macbook Pro on your lap. Well, it’s not "paper"-thin but considering the power a Macbook Pro packs at only 1-inch thick, it’s definitely thin enough by laptop standards.

Olimpia, La Fabril: Magazine by Maruri Grey Ecuador. When we see a bug flying around, our first reaction is usually to take a magazine and kill it. But seriously, why ruin a good magazine when you can use a floor cleaner that has insect repellent action in it too?

Arcor Bubble Gum Ad by Leo Burnett. A fun ad that banks on your childhood need to blow the biggest bubble gum on the land (without breaking it)!

Shikun & Binui Solaria: Sun light by BBR Saatchi & Saatchi. Alright, I admit that this one isn’t a double-spread but the illusion still needs two pages, pretty thin paper, strategic color placement and a little ingenuity to work. "Solar-powered" ads FTW.

EDF: Clap Clap by Euro RSCG C&O. Put your hands, er, pages together to help celebrate the major wins of athletes from the EDF company in European championships, world championships, the Olympics and Paraolympics.

Hawaiian Tropic: Enjoy the sun by Grey. Not only is this an ad for a tanning product, even the magazine wants to get in on the act. A handy tanning tool to bring on the go.

WMF Kitchen Knives Ad by Leo Burnett Bangkok. The ad may be exaggerating but knives that can split food into two identical halves are definitely a chef’s dream tool.

Bic Soleil Clic: Hand by Dragster. The right razor can let you get into hard-to-reach spaces with ease. The differences are laid apparent perfectly with use of white on bright orange.

Conto Barriers: Lift by McCann Erickson Prague. Your life can turn in a second, says the ad. And when you do turn the page, a simple icon alteration switches from being on a ski lift, to being on a wheelchair.

Revlon: “Roots” Print Ad by Martin/williams. Another product that lets you get to the hard-to-reach places easily, this one lets you get your roots done in a jiffy.

Subaru Forester: “King of the hills” Print Ad by Jwt. King of the hills doesn’t necessarily mean hills of lucious green and great forests. This four-wheel drive can master in sandy hills on the great desert. Way to drive the point home.

The International Labour Organization Ad by AlmapBBDO. A powerful way to leave a powerful message and raise awareness about modern day slavery.

Vicks Nyquil: Boogers by Saatchi & Saatchi X. This ad may require a bit of strength as it’s glued to the other page and as it’s slowly revealed, you’ll understand why. Icky? Kind of. Makes a point? You bet.

Domino’s Pizza: Hole by Ó!, Reykjavik. Pizza so hot it burned through the back of your magazine. Now that’s good pizza delivery.

American Apparel: Double page spread by Unknown. So that’s what it looks like when you are in men’s underwear.
