Last week at work, we had a review of all the best and most influential ads and viral videos for this past quarter and it got me thinking about some adverts that struck a chord with me, personally. I actually don’t watch a huge amount of TV as I am big on streaming and watching stuff on my iMac online (4OD, iPlayer etc) so adverts are something that I tend to skip or not see that often. Saying that, if I am in the mood, I am partial to a good advert or two. So I thought I would share with you some that really made me think, laugh or ask questions….
VW- The Bark Side
The first which really caught my attention was the Volkswagen advert which was played during the Superbowl a few weeks ago. This is Volkswagen’s second go at the Star Wars theme for the big game day spot which last year’s advert featuring a child who very desperately wanted to be Darth Vader. To say it was successful is an understatement – more than 48 million hits on YouTube (!!).It’s no surprise then, that VW wanted to match that success this year and that they did! The fact that it continued the theme worked very well, going viral within hours. Take a look for yourselves with the link.
D&G- The One Sport
The second was a personal favourite of mine purely because this man cannot get any more beautiful. He is literally the most incredible man I have ever seen in my life. I love a man who is into sport and keeps himself healthy and this guy is SO buff but without being an absolute beefcake. His face, his body, his EVERYTHING. Check it outttttttttt ladies (or men, if you are that way inclined…)REN skincare
A last but not least, a slightly….provocative entry! The REN skincare brand video came to my attention whilst I was working at my last agency who was working with the brand at the time. It is a very bizarre concept but I think it works. I have a funny story about it actually….
I HAD to share this with work collegaues so I showed one or two people. The reaction then caused quite a stir in the office and after 5 viewings and a crowd of about 20 blushing ladies and 10 aroused men, I got a phone call from IT. They had received notifcations that I was viewing and searching for pornographic content on the work system and that it would have to be reported to my manager. I LEGIT nearly died, on the spot. How do I get out of that one?! I explained to my boss, showed her the video and all was sorted but I do have the slight reputation that I am the office pervert…brilliant. Anyway, enjoy…!
Peace,
