A world made more wonderful

Viral Heartwarming Thai Commercial

Just watch....

Did you shed a tear or two? don't be shy, you did. Well maybe you are not as emotional as me, but you did feel good watching this Ad. This is a Thai commercial to advertise a life insurance company. It is a three minutes long commercial, with a very inspirational message. To do good, not for money, or fame, "what he does receive are emotions." The ad shows how a small little act of kindness, can give you back so much, and do so much for others. After watching this is hard to not try to be kind. This is the kind of messages that the world need.

The company don't even brand itself. I am not sure of how effective this advertising could be. Probably, if it is a very known company, people will watch their ad, love it, recognize the logo at the end, and have better impression of the company. 

Effective or not? I won't judge on this one. I will just thank them for warming our hearts for a bit. 

Advertising Advertisements

The sooner you advertise here, the better.

Aaaand you laughed, your welcome!

Apparently in The Netherlands they know how to get a good laugh. The company Interbest, makes large billboards near highways. Their tagline is "The sooner you advertise here, the better" Every day they changed the photo showing a men with less clothes every time. It created a lot of controversy because it was "inappropriate." But if you have a sense of humor you know it works! As an advertiser, it is important to demonstrate that you CAN do advertisement. I mean, if you don't sell yourself to me, you are not selling Me, to my customers. I do admire this company for their creativity. Sure I like it a lot more than the valley one: "does advertising works? it just did" meh.

"It's Jake from State Farm"

-State Farm: State of unrest (Jake)

You know you read it with her voice in your mind didn't you? You have seen the commercial a thousand times, and it is still funny! State Farm guys did it right :) It's simple, yet hilarious. 

The message is, that State Farm will be there for you, no matter what time it is. Effective? I would say yes! Ok, probably some people are laughing so much that they don't pay attention to the message. So "State Farm" is repeated several times, and it's part of the catchy phrase. So every time you think of this ad, "STATE FARM, STATE FARM" is in your mind. 

I like the way they produced this commercial. There is no fun, sexy, super attractive people to get your attention. They used a weirdly looking guy who wants to know if "you would do that for me" even though he is married, oh wow. And then, the jealous wife comes in, angry at him. And of course, we have Jake (from state Farm), who have no idea of what is happening. A cute, funny, combination, that probably wouldn't have worked as good with other kind of characters.

What do you think? Did you like it? Do you think State Farm should have used different actors?

Old Spice ...again

Now dads join in!

Why I'm I posting about Old Spice again? well because the mom song had a shift with the now, "dad song" Again I was left unsure of what I think about this ad. Now dads are happy that their son are men, while mothers still grieve on it. 

"Where’s my little boy? I miss him so. Who’s this man living in our home? My special guy has turned into a man. At least he won’t be living in the driveway in a van. Old Spice has sprayed a man of our boy. I miss my son. I’m overjoyed. Now there’s a chance he’ll be employed. Old Spice has sprayed a man of our boy. Yesterday he was laying in his room. We’ll be using it for storage pretty soon. It’s too soon. He’s a man. He’s a boy. He’s a man. Child! Man! Baby! Man! No! Yes! NO! Old Spice has sprayed a man of our boy. Just let him go. He needs his toys. I can’t stop crying! Tears of joy. Old Spice has sprayed a man of our boy.”

To be honest, I am blogging again about Old Spice because I just found it on you tube a couple of minutes ago, and couldn't resist on talking about it. u.u
