George W. Bush Abwasserbetrieb

Amerikaner sind sonderbar. Während Europäer nicht vom Namengeben nichts aber träumen würden, eine Straße nach irgendeinem nationalem Führer, es sei denn er toter Mann sein würde, der wirklich positives etwas erzielt hatte. Nicht die Amerikaner. Sie haben wirklich die Sonderkommissionen, zum des Materials nach Präsidenten zu nennen.
Jetzt, gibt es ein vollständiges Los Regierungs- oder nützliche Gebäude, die Sie nach Präsidenten nennen konnten. [...]

Schlechtes Internet

Former president Jimmy Carter recently made newspaper headlines again when George W. Bush assigned him to lead new peace talks in the Middle East. The idea seems to that Carter might be able to repeat the success he had in reconciling relationships between Israel and Egypt in the late 70’s.
Seeing Carter back in [...]

Blasphemy or artistic freedom part 1

In 2006 Marithé & François Girbaud’s ad was banned from France & Italy. The Catholic Church won a court injunction to ban an advertisement based on Leonardo da Vinci’s fresco “Christ’s Last Supper.” The French court stated: “a gratuitous and aggressive act of intrusion on people’s innermost beliefs. Rather than being merely satirical, the [...]

Belgian originality

I’ll be honest here: I don’t have much time to post today, so no elaborate analysis here. There wouldn’t be much to talk about anyway: This ad’s from Belgium, there’s a good chance you’ve already seen it somewhere and it’s very, very good.

Schweppervescense, after all just a soft drink!

Every now and then a commercial makes me forget that I’m actually watching an advertisement. Schweppervescense is an outstanding example of what I mean. Even though this ad looks like plagiarism (1,2,3), it differs just enough from the original concepts to proof it.
The ad was shot in Victoria with a special camera, able to record [...]

The taste worth fighting for

I can spend hours watching (pre)1950’s commercials. The era in which the first tv’s were found in American living rooms was a a time of uptight of morals and values in one hand, yet great naivety in the other.
Take this 1955 ad by Tareyton Cigarettes (American Tobaco), explaining us in an utterly meak way that [...]

What makes a good Super Bowl commercial?

Yesterday, I was telling you how the extraordinarily expensive airtime during the Superbowl makes for extremely expensive and high quality commercials. For this reason, this time of year has become Christmas time in advertising land. Luckily, some of its inhabitants have a sense of relativity, and -most importantly- humor.
This ad became an instant classic when [...]

Honesty sells

Ok, I’m reasonably sure you’ve all seen this before but still I’m posting it. Stubborn me. There’s an obvious point to the clip of course; You’d be surprised how much of your role models aren’t much of a role model at all, but just everyday human beings manipulated through and through by computers and cosmetics.
Wait [...]

A personal favorite

I’m fortunate to live in a country with some impressively creative artists. I’m not saying that to boast, I just feel that the average commercials are reasonably good in the Netherlands.
Here’s one of my all time favorites from production company CCCP in Amsterdam. It proves a good commercial doesn’t need a high budget; a good [...]

It’s Slinky, it’s Slinky

Does Slinky ring a bell? If not, you are below 30, if so, you had one yourself. At least I did and so did many of my friends. It was actually a product that lived up to the promises made in the commercial. There can be two reasons for that.
1. They don’t promise that [...]

Christmas time

Around Christmas, everybody feels a bit more melancholic than usual. This seems to include creators of soda-commercials, or maybe it’s because of the melancholic soda-commercial everybody is in the mood for Christmas.
Either way, Christmas time’s the feel good time of the year, a perfect opportunity for commercial makers to associate their brand with positive [...]

Christmas classic

While many a brand tends to hire movie stars or other celebrities to appear in their commercials, some celebrities actually are a brand. You might think of Christina Aguillera, whom has her own perfume, or David Beckham (underwear).In 1971 cartoon character Pebbles, from the immensely popular show The Flintstones, got her own cereal brand. A [...]
