Ads I Hated

Unfortunately there were also some ads which were disgrace to the Super Bowl and Godaddy seems to be the front runner in this extraordinary league of worst ads. I have never liked the service of Godaddy and their ads are no different either. All of this makes Bob Parsons the most wanted criminal in my personal hitlist just after George Bush.

If you happen to live outside USA then it highly unlikely that you’d be able to watch those ads. You always have Youtube to go and check out the videos but how would you know that this ad appeared during Super Bowl break.

You can now check out most of the videos right now at the website of Adweek. Most of these ads belong to big brands like Coke and Pepsi.

VW RNS 510 Navigation System: Mahmut

First of all, it is indeed creative or more judiciously unique to set an Arabian setup without resorting to the artificial sets. The actors make you laugh and continue to retain a surprise element throughout the advertisement.

The whole feel of the video ad is dramatic and hilarious. We can however argue on the fact that whether it is indeed common sense (which is so uncommon these days) to sell something which gets sold on features and price. There is however no mention of any feature except that it combines “Navigation and Entertainment in One.”

At the end, I can safely say that if I dance like that man in the video I wont reach home on my two legs.

The today’s cool ad I am going to talk about is that of a bread. Yes, Bread. I personally have never seen a bread commercial before on Indian TV but that’s because our mothers think that chapatis have more nutrients and energy than a bread. That also happens to be one reason why we don’t have many good bread brands over here either. There’s one called Britannia and one more called Bonn but none of them pursue advertising on television.

Hovis a very big bread brand in UK. It’s in business since last century and their tagline is “As good today as it’s always been.” They have just launched a new tv advert to resurrect their position in the UK markets. Their TV commercial takes you back in the history of UK and chronicles the highlights of each decade from 1900 to 2000. The ad has been created by MCBD, London and they have done a brilliant job in reliving those images from the past. It briefly depicts events like the Titanic’s maiden voyage, World War 2, Olympics, 60s fashion and many other things which I might have missed because of my ‘un’english upbringing.

Take a look at the ad:

I wrote about the Orange’s intention to storm the market with its new advertising campaign called “I am” which will feature some celebrities and ordinary people few days back. The company has released its first commercial which although doesn’t have anything fancy but truly gives justice to the name of campaign. The campaign is said to be the company’s most expensive marketing initiative ever. We will see more of related stuff in the coming days.

The largest ketchup company Heinz has ultimately decided to pull off its latest television commercial when the company received some angry complaints from homophobes. The advertisement portrays a kiss between a gay couple and it was getting quite a few views on youtube as well. This action will certainly create more interest and escalate the view counts further on youtube.
