Archive for 'advertising'
I’ve posted New Zealand ads before, and today thought I’d show you two more. I love the first ad, but many viewers thought it was irresponsible and complained about it. They’ve since put out a follow-up ad, which I love just as much.
When I first saw this second ad, my mouth dropped open in shock. I’ll admit I was horrified and I wasn’t alone. They banned the ad from NZ TV for a while until the ban was uplifted, the person making the decision saying it was all in good humor. I’m not sure if this is a NZ ad or not. I still cringe a little when I see it but it’s more in fascination than horror, and I have to say I wouldn’t mind one of the Rav 4s. Oh, okay. I actually laughed a little when I posted it today.
What do you think of these two ads? Do you like them? Dislike them?
The following ad for Cadbury appeared on our television just over a week ago. The gorilla caught my attention quickly followed by the music. I watched the entire ad, spellbound, even though I had no idea what it was advertising. I think it was the combination of the lifelike gorilla playing the drums and the awesome Phil Collins soundtrack. I even mentioned the ad to hubby. Whenever it plays, I stop to watch. Here’s the ad from youtube.
Today I went to itunes’ New Zealand store to download a couple of songs. I’d decided to download the Phil Collins song as well. I couldn’t remember the name but figured I’d find it with a search. I didn’t have to search. Other New Zealanders had the same thought as me and the song is currently at #2 on the top ten songs downloaded from itunes. Such is the power of advertising.
This made me think, so here’s a note to the writers of the Grey’s Anatomy series. Don’t you think it’s time to feature something regarding erotic romance in your show? I have the perfect books for your characters to read. Good plot, great characters. Well written. You can use them for free in your show. Email me and we’ll talk…
