2019 Inside That Ad's Super Bowl Central

Sun, 03 Feb 2019 09:15:08 +0000

The Super Bowl Sunday isn’t just a day for watching football and eating snacks. Viewers also love to sit in front of their televisions and watch flashy commercials that companies spend millions of dollars to make. Well, before today’s big game I thought I would share with you some of the commercials that will be airing during today’s game. I have to be honest with you, the fact that some of these ads have already appeared on the wonderful, wild Internet is somewhat of a let down for me. Why do you ask? Because you lose some of the excitement of seeing a wonderful ad for the first time, live during the big game. Let me ask you the same question is sharing these ads with the world before the game a good or bad thing? Let me know in the comments section below. By the way, don’t forget to check out the Coke’s SuperBowl commercial that I shared with you last Wednesday.

Pepsi Trolling Coke Before the Super Bowl

Wed, 30 Jan 2019 11:00:29 +0000

Hello World,

I read an interesting article this week regarding the Super Bowl. You know that not only is it football’s big day but it’s also a big day for advertising and marketing in general. One thing the city of Atlanta where the Super Bowl is taking place is known for is being the main headquarters of the Coca-Cola company (Coke). But Coke is not the main sponsor of the NFL, that honor goes to Pepsi. Pepsi is, of course, one of Coke’s main competitors. But I think Coke still got the last laugh over Pepsi in this year’s upcoming Super Bowl.

Inside That Ad A Trailer - Annihilation

Sun, 25 Feb 2018 21:31:57 +0000

Annihlation, The latest in ITA’s movie adventures was this work of fantasy fiction above. The movie starring Natalie Portman, a biologist named Lena has survived a cataclysmic event. Sitting in an isolation chamber, surrounded by unnerved people in hazmat suits, she’s interrogated about what just happened to her. In the process, she reveals who among the yet-to-be-introduced cast of characters who survives, and who dies. And the scene makes it clear that while some of her companions may be alive, she’s the only one who made it back to report these would be world ending events.

Nike’s New Nothing Beats a Londoner

Tue, 20 Feb 2018 09:00:35 +0000

Some Nike commercials are as memorable for their camerawork, and the way they’re shot, as for their celebrity stars or message of inspiration.

Guy Ritchie’s stunning 2008 spot “Take It to the Next Level” immediately comes to mind. A decade later, the brand’s newest effort from Wieden + Kennedy London, titled “Nothing Beats a Londoner,” is likewise technically breathtaking, in part thanks to the efforts of Riff Raff directors Megaforce.

Billionaires Impeachment Ad After World Series Game One

Wed, 25 Oct 2017 10:00:33 +0000

Today, I was watching game 1 of the World Series (Go Dodgers) and Tom Steyer’s (a billionaire) impeachment ad comes on my TV screen. Where he’s promoting a campaign to impeach the current, sitting President, President Donald J. Trump.

The ad is basically a series of situational images of President Trump along with a voiceover by Steyer. Steyer makes statements that are actually his opinions sound like facts. Well, maybe President Trump did say them but the ad keeps its accusations rather vague. Let me give you a few examples, first, the voiceover says, he’s (Trump) brought us to the brink of nuclear war, not exactly true, he doesn’t want North Korea to provoke us and force our hand into a potential nuclear war.

Leather and Cookies by Axe

Mon, 16 Oct 2017 09:00:54 +0000

Way back in the 1970s, a team at Ogilvy came up with the timeless phrase “Two great tastes that taste great together.”

That classic bit of copywriting described the irresistible combination of chocolate and peanut butter in Reese’s cups. But it could apply to almost any two seemingly incongruous flavors, smells or other sensations, including … leather and cookies?

Since its 1984 debut, Axe has given the teenage boys of the world many classic bodywash and bodyspray scents, including Africa, Anti-Hangover and Denim. But this new product may be its oddest yet. The Unilever brand turned to German creative agency Dokyo to help promote the impossible combination of Leather + Cookies, and they did not disappoint.

Test Drive Canada Campaign

Thu, 28 Jul 2016 22:01:41 +0000

JWT Canada released a digital campaign for Air Canada that advocates people give Canada a test drive by visiting as a tourist prior to moving there. I’d be willing to bet that they came up with this campaign based on research that people are increasing Googling “how to move to Canada” to avoid the possibility of a Trump presidency here in the U.S.

The spot begins with an Air Canada ticket agent watching a screen tracking how many Americans are searching for “How can I move to Canada?” — sitting at 1,367,899 as she says, “And there’s another one.” Then she proceeds to mention cultural and geographical differences that we, Americans should try out before booking a one way ticket up North. Differences such as the Metric system– successfully being funny.

Google Commercial: Story of Jacob

Thu, 16 Jul 2015 08:00:14 +0000

So, I missed the ESPY awards today but apparently, Google aired its first television commercial during the show. The commercial, a two-minute-plus spot focus on a gym dedicated to providing transgender athletes a place to work out — known as Jacob & City Gym. Interestingly enough, the commercially aired moments before USWNT star Abby Wambach presented the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage to Caitlyn Jenner. Thought of something else, Why are giving this person an award regardless of his/her courage? Wasn’t he/she responsible for the death of another person?

Everyone Gets a Little Excited with Fiat & Viagra

Sun, 21 Jun 2015 00:16:46 +0000

So I’ve wanted to write about this advertisement for quite some time now but just haven’t got around to it. There are some ads that try to fake you out with what they’re trying to advertise and this is a great example of that. Then starts out by showing a young (at heart) couple where the wife is “ready to go-Pun intended.” The husband excitedly runs to the restroom to take a little blue pill. But, alas he accidentally drops it out the window and it goes for a ride through the city.

I Would Do Anything for Love - M&Ms

Sat, 23 Feb 2013 09:05:58 +0000

I wanted to share a cute commercial that grabbed my attention while I was at the movie theaters earlier this evening. It was more entertaining than the movie itself. A love ballad brought to you by the lovable M&M candies. While being tortured, a.k.a eaten, baked and sometimes licked by a beautiful group of girls. Oh, how I wish I was in their place.

Zoosk Puts Go Daddy to Shame With Even Gnarlier Kissing Ad That frog is not much of a prince

Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:56:27 +0000

Jesse Heiman kissing God’s hands—aka, Bar Refaeli’s lips—for Go Daddy on the Super Bowl was one thing. Nasty, yes, but not bestial. For the latter, we turn to Zoosk, the dating site previously best known for its lecherous heart-puppet slobbering on a laptop. This new spot takes shock-kissing to a whole new level, as the girl (after a long pause to get up her courage) sloppily makes out with a frog, who unfortunately never turns into a prince. (The thing looks real, too.) It’s certainly appalling, but I’d take issue with the direction given to the actress. Wouldn’t it be better if she were loving every second of kissing Swamp Thing rather than looking utterly disgusted? See, Go Daddy knew what it was doing after all.

Dunder Mifflin Gets a Super Bowl Ad

Tue, 15 Jan 2013 15:18:00 +0000

I was amazed to read that the fictional paper company from the popular TV show “The Office” has become a real company. It became a real company when NBC teamed up with Quill (part of Staples) to market real Dunder Mifflin paper according to AdFreak. The paper became a real product in 2011 and now they are expanding their product lines.

Anyway, more good Dunder Mifflin paper, they are getting their own Super Bowl ad. The brand is Crowdsourcing their first TV ad. Dunder Mifflin has teamed up with crowdsourcing platform Tongal to create the ad.
