the layout sucks. See another ad in the same space:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7451

Look at the way the headline and body copy are treated.

Would love if you would comment on the copy too!
I am just a copy writer not an art director!

Divesh,

Will only comment on the copy and not the art since you say you are not an art director (which also suggests that you either do the art yourself or need to work with a better art director).

Honestly (and this is from my own viewpoint of being a writer), the headline is trying too hard. Also there is no great twist by cutting out 'sugar' and replacing it with 'slaves.'

IMHO, the headline would be better as follows:
THE SPECIAL TEA YOU ORDER MIGHT LEAVE YOU
WITH A BITTER TASTE IN YOUR MOUTH.

The Body Copy can then go on to say:
Child Labour. Unfortunately, it comes complimentary with a glass of special tea.

(and then, in short but crisp phrases, go on to explain your argument.)

Agree, copy is not engaging enough. Long while to go.

I but the point the copy has nothing new to offer....I felt it too!
And yes, crispness is lacking...
Thanks for writing on my writing!

Yes agree with Basant. One is always learning in advertising, and as a writer, the more you write the better you become. Always take criticism as great advice for growing more as a professional. Liked your attitude, Div.

Divesh, was this done for a real life client? what does teh organisation do once you call them to a place which hires children? remember, often these children are important bread earners for their families.
