So: Product placement. In a world where commercials have never been easier to skip, product placement in films is one of the few ways advertising can be consistently placed in front of captive audiences. Sometimes it’s subtle, but other times  the phrase “bashing the audience repeatedly over the head with a 10-ton anvil,” comes to […]

Bayer’s ad makes heart attacks somehow more depressing

0 comments by on 6/19/2015

Bayer has a difficult task of selling heart attack prevention medicine. To advertise, you have to bring up heart attacks and that can be depressing and not conducive to selling a product. There are nuanced and creative ways they could go about this, or they could shove it in our faces in a tactless way.  You […]

0 comments by on 6/16/2015

Last time we checked in with the freemium mobile game Game of War: Fire Age, they were reaping the benefits of creating a pretty brilliant ad campaign featuring supermodel Kate Upton. The game itself was nothing special, but the $40 million ad campaign transcended it. It got people playing and in turn made the mobile […]

0 comments by on 6/14/2015

Sometimes promo videos combine two subjects that shouldn’t mix well together, yet totally work. Case in point, this new promo for Jurassic World by ESPN took previously seen trailer footage for the film, and put in Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman. The results are pretty hilarious. Watch Sherman entering Jurassic Park. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INuLOy4LBOM This is a lot […]

Apparently covering your bathtub in plastic will change your life

0 comments by on 6/12/2015

There are a ton of different companies and ads that promise a new bathroom when you cover up the old one with plastic. The concept is pretty simple - add some thick plastic and you instantly have an updated, “custom” bathtub. Your old fixtures are still there, but out of sight and out of mind. Kind […]

Block your ears, Splatoon’s new commercial will melt your insides

0 comments by on 6/7/2015

First of all, Splatoon is a bad name for a game. I don’t care if it’s an animated paint shooting game that involves paint splatter and cartoons, find a different name. More importantly, don’t advertise the game with some of the most annoying music ever created. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjPOSKnOftA Ok, take a few seconds to recover. I […]
