NBA “Encouragement” Campaign

The NBA always has some great Ads, but they’re usually just slow motion game highlights, with some intense music in the background. While those were good, these are ever better. Enjoy.

Well done, Blackberry.

Not sure if Blackberry did this to prove they have similar apps as the iPhone, or if they simply forgot about it… because iPhone’s commercial is from three years earlier.

If you need to prove that your pizza is made by real people, I don’t want to eat it.

The “Cool Guy” Trend in TV

mpshea — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:50:36 +0000

What is going on here? Am I the only one noticing this? Brands are taking a cue from The World’s Most Interesting Man and trying to create their own “cool guy”. Old Spice has done the best job of it, but what about the others?

Just updated to add Keith Stone and Dean Winters as “Mayhem”. Not unexpected, but notice that 3-of-6 are beer brands.

This commercial has been around for a while, but I thought I’d post it anyway. ESPN always has the best spots, and this one is definitely one of the best. Enjoy!
