This 2016 print advertisement from the London based financial information company taps into the need of people for leisure and calls them to thoughtful action about investments through pathos, logos and irony. The at first glance simple arrangement of a sentence fragment and clock parts creates a competition between money and time to entice adult readers new to the investment world to use the company for financial advice; cultured and expected responses are used in a negative light to engender trust and curiosity about the service.

Brexit is a great example of this. When Great Britain voted to leave the European Union, stock markets around the world fell sharply. It is amazing how much effect one vote in one place can have on the whole world. If the world was not so flat, a vote in one country would not affect the whole world.
