In-House on Inside That Ad

Anne Almasy Ad Rejected Initially

Fri, 22 Feb 2013 06:18:08 +0000

I saw this ad for Anne Almasy, a wedding photographer on Adfreak and I had to give my two-cents. The whole story was that Weddings Unveiled, a wedding magazine initially rejected (hence this post’s title) the ad because it featured a photo of two women about to kiss. The magazine then promptly received a strongly worded open letter pretty much calling the editors of the magazine spineless for following beliefs not even their own. The magazine backtracked and allowed Ms. Almasy to use the original photo.

Paul Bryant Museum Spot

And while the clip below is supposed to be a comedy, there’s a certain amount of believability to it. The University of Alabama’s Paul Bryant Museum created the video in-house and it’s pretty funny, I must admit. The video is titled: “So Many Trophies, So Little Space” you’ll make the connection after watching the video. This is actually the second time I write a post on an ad involving Alabama football in the last coupled of weeks. The first post is: ESPN Roll Tide. These comedic sports ads just capture my interest, I guess. Client**: University of AlabamaAgency: In-house Best,-A.B.

Inside That Ad’s Favorite 2012 Super Bowl Commercials

Sun, 19 Feb 2012 02:49:00 +0000

I know that this post is 13 days overdue, but better late then never, right? Every advertising blog has to discuss the commercials of the biggest advertising event of the year, the Super Bowl. Those of us who were faithful to Patriot Nation had hoped that advertisers would have a better night. But unfortunately only a few advertisers produced anything of note, all the rest should have kept their checkbooks in their pockets. So without further ado, here are ITA’s favorite Super Bowl spots. ** Note:** I only discuss a few spots because there only a few spots that I feel are worthy of a discussion. ** The Tease - Oikos Yogurt** ** This spot for Oikos Greek Yogurt features John Stamos being head butted by his gorgeous girlfriend over her special yogurt. Note to guys – don’t stand between a lady and her Oikos.

Disability Series: Ads Featuring People with Disabilities

Mon, 06 Jun 2011 02:49:00 +0000

I wanted to do a series of posts that feature people with disabilities. To see if the majority of the ads focus on the disability also known as “pity ads” or do they focus on the person as an authority or the product. Also, I want to see if most of the spots that feature a disability are advertising a product related to disabilities in general.** The ad below is for overstock.com, besides being all about the O the spokesperson in the ad is Briana Walker. Walker uses a wheelchair but the wheelchair is never shown in the ad. I am ok with the fact the chair was never shown that way it doesn’t take away from what is being advertised.

Adidas Update

Just a quick update on a post I wrote a while back titled “The NBA Goes Back to College.” I found out through a comment on AdGabber, an advertising social network that those NBA Adidas ads were most likely done in-house. This is probably why the user claims there is an appearent lack of polish to the spots. I thought they were pretty good. But again, all this is just my humble opinion.
