There's a reasonably common pattern to say:
(some adjective)er than (the same adjective)
Fresher than fresh. Faster than fast. Smarter than smart. etc.
It's just meant to be a clever way to make a superlative out of the adjective. It's not just fresh, or fresher, or super-fresh, it's fresher than fresh.
In your example, it would most likely mean that the slogans were extremely fresh — or new to the ad market.
