More Cadbury indulgence

Another ‘event’ commercial from Cadbury’s and Fallon.

Funny?  Yes.

On brand?  Well… she’s wearing a purple dress.

Judge for yourself.

I am not a fan of this campaign, if you could call it that.  OK it’s great entertainment but the purist in me bemoans its lack of brand relevance.

Sorry.

…but I never saw this at the time. I found it while researching my Napier project and it’s wonderful. Basically it’s a brilliant Apple Mac ad hijacked by Obama. Perfect targeting for a certain demograph and what a great way to sell yourself. Not sure if it’s a viral or a real ad, but judging from the lack of an “I’m Barack Obama and I approved this message” ending I suspect that sadly it is the former.

Whatever, it’s great.

Sometimes working in advertising can be such a burdon, like when people ask you if you’ve seen a new ad…

I’ve seen (and heard on the radio) this ad far too often.

In the trade we call it “A pile of shit that’s beautifully lit.”

I know that selling cars must be hard.

Hard to differentiate and hard to be as good as Honda. Oh how the Ford boys must hate the Honda jibes.

But this is toe curlingly, truly awful. Actually, no, it’s worse, much worse than that…

It’s just. You know. Embarrasing.

Sorry to inflict it on you again.

This is the “director’s cut”

LOL
