Google Pixel Ad On NBA Court
During the Bucks and Bulls NBA playoff game 1 I swear I saw Google Pixel ad flashing on the court itself? Could they be engaging in subliminal advertising? A subliminal message is a message that is meant to sort of ‘slip past your mental radar’ and embed itself deep into your subconscious mind. The word itself refers to the fact that this message should pass below (that is, sub) your normal perception, underneath its limits – therefore being liminal. The most classic examples of subliminal advertising and messaging include: The shape of the glass Coca Cola bottle is one of the most recognisable shapes on the planet, but many people believe…

Agency Love Letter
GLOW FYI, you’ve been added as a maker of Agency Love Letter on @ProductHunt https://t.co/fpfM6MCd3u h/t @peterlevin 🙌 — Product Hunt (@ProductHunt) February 19, 2019 I saw this post a couple of weeks ago on Twitter and promised myself to write about it because the execution was so unique. A New York City-based agency known as Glow wanted to provide an anonymous way for people to share their feelings about their ad business clients. Therefore, they created a website to allow users to write nice – or not so nice – anonymous letters to their clients and agencies. The site, AgencyLoveLetter.com, allows people to shower their agency and client partners with…
Should Inside That Ad Start a YouTube Channel?
I’ve been thinking about how I could possibly start an Inside That Ad (ITA) YouTube channel. Do you guys think that’s even possible?
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…
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…
Inside That Ad’s Top 10 Super Bowl LII Commercials
I never shared my top commercials from the 2018 Super Bowl. I had to do it after the game because I was actually crying when the Patriots lost. Therefore, without further ado here my top 10 favorite commercials from Super Bowl LII. Oh yeah, and make sure you read this article through, all the way to the end to get to the #1 commercial!

Year 2017 Most Watched Ads on Google’s YouTube
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. You’ll recognize many of the spots, from Super Bowl commercials (Mr. Clean, Kia, Budweiser) to well-known celebrity spots (Natalie Portman for Miss Dior, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson” for Apple). Remarkably, the No. 1 spot on the list, with more than 150 million views, comes from India. It’s a Samsung spot that we wrote about back in January, shortly after it broke and began pulling in views by the millions in just its first few days. See all 10 spots below, along with their global view counts for…
Fun Size’ Salads for Halloween? Dole Isn’t Sure How It Feels About That
“Fun size” salad packets from Dole would be the most sadistic “treats” to give youngsters on Halloween, almost certainly guaranteeing your trees will be festooned with toilet paper by the end of the night. Alas, you won’t be able to try it out. The image here is a Photoshop job by Adam Padilla, the founder of creative agency Brandfire. Still, Dole had a pretty curious reaction to Padilla’s efforts. Joining in the suddenly hot trend of friendly cease-and-desist letters, the food marketer playfully warned Padilla not to mess with its trademark again without talking to them first. But at the same time, it whipped some of its own “fun size” salad concepts—posting them…
Bread Face Made an Ad for Jewelry While Mashing Her Face Into Baked Goods
You know you love yourself some ASMR content, that stuff of soft sounds that apparently result in ticklish little braingasms. But the cottage industry goes way further than mere whispers. Have you met Bread Face? The Bread Face blog launched in early December 2015, at which time her Instagram account swelled to over 20,000 followers. (She’s now at over 174,000.) The idea is simple: A lone woman in a room smashes her face into bread. It is almost as satisfying as watching Dr. Pimple Popper, except you won’t feel gross about being hungry after. Now, Bread Face has a classy sponsor: Sydney Garber, whose jewelry bedazzles her most recent face-mashing video for Garage Magazine, titled “Fine Dining.”…
