Ad Comm by Edwin Poh https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613 Good Ad Campaigns en-us 2017-10-23 01:35:40 UTC 2024-05-21 19:27:11 UTC hello@padlet.com WWF – Facepalm https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200283941 Why it is a good campaign:
Unique, witty, attention grabbing. 
Something different as compared to other "save the animals"/"save the earth" advertisements that is out there. 

Gets the point across efficiently, even bringing in the animals themselves into the campaign. It grabs people's attention since there is not much text and the image in straightforward.]]> 2017-10-25 06:45:34 UTC https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200283941 Coca Cola Drinkable Ad Campaign https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200286824 Why it is a good campaign:
This drinkable advertisement creates the illusion that you actually taste the campaign. It is memorable and impactful as it is a new use of technology and they have taken Coke's advertising campaigns to a new level. This campaign is not just visual but auditory as well. ]]> 2017-10-25 07:02:08 UTC https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200286824 2. Global Action in the Interest of Animals (GAIA): Plastic Bags Kill: https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200286883 It is visually impactful. Message is very clear and simple: Shouldn't use plastic bags as they kill the animals. It 'attacks' you personally since when you carry the plastic bag it looks like you are killing the animals. Hence, people will be more likely to stop using plastic bags.

The Wonderfilled campaign from Oreo launched in late 2012 as the company’s ambitious goal to move from the world’s favourite cookie to one of the world’s most iconic brands. In order to create a bigger story, the advertising company went simple by delving into the basics of human nature — curiosity. The aim of this campaign is to imagine how an Oreo can transform the mundane.
 
The most iconic feature from the campaign is their animation spot set to a catchy tune, showing how historically “evil” figures such as the Big Bad Wolf and a vampire take a turn for the better with the help of Oreo. The campaign is aimed more towards adults to remind them of how they used to see wonders in the world, thus igniting their inner child. The campaign promotes positivity and harmony, and encourages the audience to view the world with fresh eyes and a curious heart.

360° advertisement that sprays the smell of their coffee when their jingle comes on and will tell that they can alight there for the coffee = people can just alight to buy and wont crave for it since they will spray when they are near the outlets, compared to just spraying normally= might forget abt it or find it too troublesome to go buy itits also more effective since coffee looks the same normally so this advertising is special compared to just printing coffee on magazines and newspaper]]> 2017-10-25 07:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200292818 1.

About 11 million children helped since 2003, the campaign aims to create opportunities for children living in poverty, allowing more children to have a better future for themselves and their families.

Dos Equis: Most Interesting Man in the World https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200323738 Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-4zfsy6rsM

This classic campaign broke the mold for beer ads. Rather than featuring 20-somethings, Dos Equis aged up, making a star out of gray-haired journeyman actor Jonathan Goldsmith. In the campaign, he plays the debonair “Most Interesting Man in the World,” who has become one of the most revered ad characters of the century. Or as one ad suggests, “If he were to pat you on your back, you would list it on your résumé.” According to the company, U.S. sales increased each year between 2006–2010, and tripled in Canada in 2008, although exact figures were not provided. Sales of Dos Equis are said to have increased by 22% at a time when sale of other imported beer fell 4% in the U.S.

This work shows the value of breaking out of category cliché and convention. It also shows us the power of hyperbole when it is expressed masterfully. 

The print ads use dark colours with hues of brown and red mixed with hints of gold to emphasize the elegance and luxury of the beer.

Instead of confronting the abuser, she decided to "seek solution" by changing herself. This shows that she is afraid of standing up against the abuser. It caught people'attention because of the strong and powerful message that it wanted to convey. And even though the language is something which not many will relate to, the message has been sent out loud and clear- women must speak up against domestice violence.]]> 2017-10-25 13:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200377547 Heinz, "Pass the Heinz dinein6lood https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200404429 A very simple approach of introducing mouth watering foods that goes great with Heinz ketchup without the need to show the product. With the use of simple tagline such as "Pass the Heinz" can effectively allow audience to recall Heinz and what the ad is communicating. I like how this ad was primarily targetted towards Heinz fans, to let them know not to settle for the food they love without the great taste of Heinz. ]]> 2017-10-25 13:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200404429 The Man Your Man Could Smell Like https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200465449 This campaign was created for Old Spice, a body wash brand for men. This campaign is unique as it was targeted at ladies — the partners of men, although it's meant to be used by guys. This is because ladies were buying female body wash for their partners, and Old Spice was losing business. They went with the tagline 'the man your man could smell like'. The man in their famous video ad addresses ladies and tries to 'seduce' them into wanting their significant other to smell good with Old Spice. The message was able to be delivered to men and women at the same time in a creative and humorous way. The memorable video went viral when it was released.]]> 2017-10-25 15:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200465449 2. Burger King, "Burning Stores" https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200471012 Burger King started a print ad campaign, showing real photos of actual Burger King stores on fire.

Why it is a good campaign:
The campaign was smart. Turning a possible negative factor for their company, into a witty and impactful advertisement that in a way emphasises one of Burger King's strong points, "Flame-grilled Since 1954". (Turning a threat into an opportunity). It was a simple yet memorable campaign, that took a lot of guts and balls to publish.

It immediately captures attention for being such an oddity and calls on the user to find out what this Advertisement is about.]]> 2017-10-25 15:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200473913 Spotify - 'Thanks 2016, It's been weird campaign https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200483427 Spotify makes use of emotional connection to attract the public to their outdoor billboards.

It has a twisted imagery and a direct and straightforward title. The imagery and video produced for the campaign shocks the viewers and reminds them of what will happen if they do not do anything about frog extinction. It alerts the viewer as the images and videos are itch-inducing and they provide discomfort for the viewers. This successfully causes viewers to be aware of the problem with the endangered frog species as it would put them at a disadvantage. The ad turns the outcome against people and forces them to participate.

Real Beauty Sketches explores the gap between how others perceive us and how we perceive ourselves.

Why it is a good campaign:
Dove Real Beauty Sketches is bold, groundbreaking, brave, insightful, transparent and authentic. The ad campaign aims to change societal notions about beauty and sell their brand at the same time. The topic of beauty and the distorted way that social media has portrayed it has been a huge topic, but only few have touched on this topic in advertising. Through this ad campaign, Dove brought across a strong message–that women should not be overly critical of their appearances and appreciate as well as acknowledge their real beauty, hence boosting the self-esteem of many. The ad campaign was extremely successful and elicited a strong emotional response such as warmth, happiness and knowledge from viewers.]]> 2017-10-26 01:06:36 UTC https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200654175 Sales Team 3 https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200654236 2017-10-26 01:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/200654236 Consumer Insight https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/201976430 "It's not an idea; it's the start to 100 of ideas."

The current messages against smoking are not impacting them because they fail to make a personal connection with smokers - smokers are also people with a heart, and hence an emotionally stimulating advertising will be more effective.]]> 2017-10-31 01:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/201987803 INSIGHT https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/201987982 The main barrier preventing smokers from listening to the warnings or taking action were the smokers themselves. They were already well aware of the hazards, but they were often arrogant and considered themselves all-knowing. They believed they were in control of the situation - especially of their health. Therefore, warnings from friends and family or the THPF were seen as irrelevant messages from 'outsiders' who did not really understand their real situation. The previous anti-smoking campaigns were meaningless because they talked about smokers in general and not about ‘them’ specifically. To create a real behavior change, we had to select the right speaker, one who smokers will trust wholeheartedly. And there was no more powerful envoy of the anti-smoking message than the smokers themselves. The insight for this campaign was “the most powerful speaker is ‘me’, the smoker”. To successfully convince smokers to called Quitline and eventually drop their bad habit, the new campaign needed to make them admit to themselves that smoking was a problem that needed to be solved and help them remember a fact they had chosen to ignore. ]]> 2017-10-31 01:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/poh_edwin/xyw3kzrv7613/wish/201987982
