When I first started this blog about two years ago I wanted to share with people more information about the people that actually created the ad. I am finding that the traditional T.V. spots and print ads are relatively easy to find who created them. It’s the more obscure forms of advertising that I am struggling to find details on the creators. For example, the design on the coke below, who designed it? The abstract design of the coke bottle and the soccer ball on the back of the can shown below, I think I can safely assume that the soccer ball was selected in celebration of the 2010 Soccer…

Y&R and Dr Pepper Snapple Group (DPSG) will be parting ways after 40 years of working together according to an Ad Age article. In ’08 DPSG moved three of their brands away from Y&R to Deutsch , the three beverages moved are Dr Pepper, Snapple and Diet Dr Pepper. A shake up of brands happened again in February of 2010 when DPSG moved Canada Dry, Sunkist, and A&W Root Beer to McGarryBowen without a review. This meant that Y&R only had 7UP after a 40-year relationship with DPSG. So, why has changing ad agencies become so common in the industry today? Why is having an ad agency position so insecure?…

It must be celebrate Australia day here at Inside That Ad. The ad above is a creative attempt to promote dishwashing soap. The reason I felt I did to write a post on this ad by DDB Group Melbourne is because I had to watch the commercial a couple of times before I figured out what they were selling. The spot is selling dishwashing soap but first thought they were selling male adult services for the ladies, then I thought maybe they are promoting an adoption agency, and finally the soap. Oh, and I also thought they making fun of the man’s sexual orientation but no they were just trying…

I saw the spot above on Adfreak and had to talk about it here because I have never seen an ad promoting euthanasia before. Now, the first thing you should know is that euthanasia is illegal in Australia, where the spot aired. I had to do a little research to find out that assisted suicide is legal in some U.S. states like Oregon, Washington and Montana. You have to realize that there is a difference between euthanasia and assisted suicide. In assisted suicide doctors are simply helping the patient carry out his or her wishes but in euthanasia the administrator or doctor is doing it for them. Also, there are…

Wieden+Kennedy New York went to work for ESPN and created the “It’s Not Crazy, It’s Sports” brand campaign to share with the public the norms of the sports world. The only issue I have with it is that it’s like beating a dead horse. People already know that sports discussions are a normal part of American culture. The spot is funny and entertaining but it didn’t tell teach me anything I didn’t already know. The spot begins with two guys, sitting at a table discussing what sounds like baseball and math. Another group of nerdy friends walk up to the jocks and call them nerds because of their discussion. The…

This post is a response to an article I read on Adrants regarding the latest marketing attempt to raise breast cancer awareness and how it has become just another platform to sell more stuff as oppose to truly educating people. Apparently, “I ♥ boobies” bracelets are all the rave according to another article the Adrants author referenced, written for Salon.com. The author of the Salon article isn’t too pleased with the bracelet campaign not because Schools are banning rubber bracelets, as if they are brain washing our youngsters. She’s upset because she thinks they are rather tasteless and then she goes into an antidotal story about her mother having cancer.…

Here are the other NFL Sunday Ticket campaign commercials that I could find. This is simply to show you guys the rest of the spots in the campaign. Of course my favorite is the New Orleans Saints Voodoo spot. The first one was titled the “Cheeseheads” spot. Second is the Dallas Dog. Third is the Eagle’s Game. Fourth is Home of the Pats. Anyway, enjoy everyone and please let me know if you find more. Best,-A.B.
