Diet Pepsi Shrank the Cat
This Diet Pepsi print ad has to be one of the most clever Diet Pepsi print ads that I’ve ever seen. It implies that people will believe that they will get so thin that they fit in a mouse hole because they drank Diet Pepsi. I mean, it happened with the cat, right? Do advertisers believe that their customers are that stupid? Comments are welcomed and appreciated in the comment section. I’d love to know what you guys think. Did the cat finally realize that any Pepsi products don’t help you to lose weight? The cat probably got stuck in the home and ended up dying within the walls. The…
Gillette Commercial & Me Too
Hello World, A few days ago I saw a Gillette commercial that I thought was about bullying at first glance. And it was, but the topic that the commercial really focused on was the #me too movement that we all must be conscious of in a time sexual harassment and bullying is more out in the open. But grabbed my attention is that they incorporated the within the ‘The Best a Man Can Get’ campaign which has turned 30 this year. “The Best a Man Can Get” during Super Bowl XXIII in 1989 with a BBDO campaign promoting its Atra razor line. Now we live in a different kind of…
Inside That Ad is Back on Wednesday’s in 2019
ITA will be back to posting regularly in 2019. This time though I’m going to “try” to stick to a strict weekly schedule. It will most likely be Wednesday at 8 PM PST. Look for the first official post of 2019 on Wednesday, January 8th. I stopped posting for a few reasons: The blog didn’t seem like it was getting traffic or had an audience at all. It still may not have an audience. I lost the “.COM” domain name for this site. I am not able to post daily which is why I am trying out a weekly schedule. This blog was born in 2009, so 10 years ago…
Inside That Ad A Trailer – Annihilation
Annihlation, The latest in ITA’s movie adventures was this work of fantasy fiction above. The movie starring Natalie Portman, a biologist named Lena has survived a cataclysmic event. Sitting in an isolation chamber, surrounded by unnerved people in hazmat suits, she’s interrogated about what just happened to her. In the process, she reveals who among the yet-to-be-introduced cast of characters who survives, and who dies. And the scene makes it clear that while some of her companions may be alive, she’s the only one who made it back to report these would be world ending events. Let me be honest and get straight to the point. The movie started off as a…
Nike’s New Nothing Beats a Londoner
Some Nike commercials are as memorable for their camerawork, and the way they’re shot, as for their celebrity stars or message of inspiration. Guy Ritchie’s stunning 2008 spot “Take It to the Next Level” immediately comes to mind. A decade later, the brand’s newest effort from Wieden + Kennedy London, titled “Nothing Beats a Londoner,” is likewise technically breathtaking, in part thanks to the efforts of Riff Raff directors Megaforce.

ITA Trailer – Black Panther
This week’s movie that I saw was black Panther and it was amazing. Well worth the price of admission. I really liked the movie because it didn’t follow the same theme that most Marvel movies seem to follow these days which is everything gets destroyed. Furthermore, the movie had a real positive message of always following your dreams and goals and never giving up on them, even if you face hardships. Black Panther functions like the best superhero comics, drawing on the history and context of what’s come before while filling in backstory as needed. It totally works as a standalone adventure. Enjoy the movie trailer below!
Stay in the Shadows
It’s not always good to have other people’s attention. Especially when those people are car thieves. This campaign demonstrates that, thanks to Sherlock’s Antitheft Marking, the attention of thieves is diverted elsewhere. The thieves are personified by beams of light that automatically point to vehicles unmarked by Sherlock. They’re inspecting them and getting ready to steal them. Sometimes, it’s good to stay in the shadows. Other Versions are below. This is originally from Ads of the World
Officially ITA’s First Movie Trailers
Back in 2015, I announced that I would like ITA to get into movie trailers but after that post, which you can read right here, I dropped the subject. I haven’t thought about it again until I received my new MoviePass card last week. Therefore, I want to try again. Without further ado, the first trailer I want to share with you is for Molly’s Game. The movie is about Molly Bloom, a business savvy, former athlete who set up and ran a high stake poker game for actors, business tycoons, and star athletes. I’m sharing the trailer first because I love poker and anything about the subject as well as the…

It’s time for the year-end lists, and here’s a fun one—the 2017 YouTube Ads Leaderboard, featuring the most-watched ads on the video platform this year.
