I LOVE this commercial for so many reasons! It is a perfect for attracting people to watching Discovery Channel because the images are incredible, and it also serves to remind the avid Discovery Channel watchers how wonderful it is. My favorite element of the ad is, hands down, the song. It is so catchy, it sticks in your head for the rest of the day. It's great because it isn't a typical commercial jingle thats cheesy and gets annoying fast, this is original, upbeat, and makes you feel good inside. I think it's perfect.

This is a super creative non-traditional advertisement! Who ever was behind this idea is GENIUS!! Not every one who goes bowling will probably ever need dental implant insurance, but it is so well noticed that this is the kind of ad that will spread fast through word of mouth. This is an awesome idea, by far one of my favorites on the blog.


La Comunidad

This agency is ran out of Buenos Aires, Argentina and from seeing this ad I would think they are a pretty creative agency. I found this commercial to be really ridiculous and funny. The things they said were SO goofy I could not help but laugh at all the bizarre things coming out of their mouths.


Modernista

I really like this ad for the music and the visuals in this ad. It doesn't have any fancy effects, but I think it effectively gets the message across that Cadillac is a very detail-oriented company and makes every vehicle such with such attention.


AMV/BBDO

This is a very simple, yet creative print ad. I like that it is so much different from most beer ads that have either girls or college boy jokes in them. It is unique for that and also has a clever design, incorporating glasses of Guiness as the blades of a fan.



Rethink

I really enjoyed watching the advertisement in Ad. Literacy, so I decided to add it to this as well. The idea of having rats come in your home and pick find your junk is hilarious, but in reality it is probably accurate to what a rat really would do which is what makes it even funnier. The screaming reactions of their customers are also priceless.


Strawberry Frog

I have to admit, I first wanted to find an ad for this agency because I love the name! After seeing some of their ads I also found respect for their super creative work. I have always been intrigued on how the rest of the world obsesses over soccer (or futball) and America doesn't really get it. I thought it was so neat how every one who saw the ball thought naturally to kick it. It was amusing and fun to watch, especially for a beer commercial!


Mother

This is a parody from a classic scene of one of my favorite movies, When Harry Met Sally. It is no surprise that I thought this was very funny and entertaining. However, since it is a parody from a movie made a while ago, I'm sure there are younger audiences that are confused and don't completely understand the scene. Overall though, I think it is successful for the product!



22squared

I really do not like this print ad for Buffalo Wild Wings. I am so sick of looking at ads of food in a shape of an animal. It may have been creative the dozen times I saw things almost identical to this, but now it is so over used I am sick of it. Doing work like this makes the agency look mediocre and even though I haven't looked at much of 22squared work I'm sure they do great things, but by judging from this ad I would not believe it.


David & Goliath

Dear Kia, STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO LUXURY CARS!!! I am sooooo tired of seeing Kia or Hyundai or Mazda commercials that constantly compare how they are equivalent to a Lexus or Mercedes. I do not understand why they even waste their time doing that when they are not a direct competitor to a luxury car in the first place. If you are going to compare try Hyundai or Mazda. Or better yet, JUST TALK ABOUT WHY KIA IS AWESOME. This reminds me so much of the Pepsi vs Coke discussion we had in class. Pepsi always compares themselves with Coke in their commercials, but Coke doesn't compete with anyone and is still much more successful. So, maybe Kia should take a lesson from that.
