Great Ad 14: Santa Drinking Coca Cola Vintage Ads

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

I always like Coca Cola’s Christmas TV commercials and print ads. With BigBearLodge’s sharing at YouTube, I learned that the big jolly Santa image was influenced and shaped by the soft-drink mogul. “Starting in 1931, magazine ads for Coca-Cola featured St. Nick as a kind, jolly man in a red suit.

This is one product that kids most probably can live without, as they are generally not concerned about their weight, health and growth. But […]

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

Great Ad 11: Volkswagen’s Touareg

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

This ad done by Fallon Singapore is really interesting. Those who hold to the view that a company’s logo should be used “regally” will see this as blasphemy. Those who don’t, are likely to applaud the very innovative usage of a brand’s logo.

What’s so great about this ad?

Great Ad 9: Brain, Head, Thinker

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

I’m in the advertising industry for many years but it still took me a little while to figure out what Ad #1 is all about. After that, I went for a research spree and found 2 almost similar ads by the same advertiser. Well, some will call these 3 ads “snobbish” because you may not […]
