Really Good Advertising

Doug for the Ford Focus

Ford has put together some advertising that I think has some decent potential depending on they run with it. I found them pretty good, though somewhat reminiscent of Ted Williams (though it is a stretch). Anyways, here are the videos:

Richmond Optometry – Which is Better?

I thought these were kind of creative, if not funny. My vision is rarely bad enough were I would experience a mistake of this magnitude, but I know people who have pretty bad eyesight. Enjoy!

Milwaukee Art Museum is Pretty Sexy

At least Victoria's Secret thought so. The recently named Sexiest Building recently played host to director Michael Bay and his Victoria's Secret commercial. Having been to the museum I quickly recognized the unique architecture. I had to rewind it a couple times to confirm what I thought was the location (really, that is the only reason I watched it again) and a quick Google search was the ultimate confirmation.

The Milwaukee Art Museum is a very interesting building. From its Brise Soleil opening and closing based on the amount of sun to the interior architecture (and, oh yeah, the art too) the museum is a very cool experience. I recommend checking it out as it is a short drive for those of you who live in Chicago.

Here's the Victoria's Secret Ad. It is as safe for work as any lingerie commercial can be.

Miele Vacuums – Boy can it Suck

This is great. From its use of the physical billboard to the creative this is a well done ad.

Lego – Exercise Your Mind

This ad won points simply for being about Legos. We had a room dedicated to Legos when I was younger and I attribute a lot of my intellectual abilities to playing with them so much.

Adams Outdoor Advertising

Matt — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 15:00:01 +0000

I have to admit that this one took me a little longer to understand than it should have. I actually think a lot of people would be offended by the ad because they do not take the time to understand its humor, but (and I may have said this before) if you don't understand the ad then it wasn't meant for you (or the creative was bad). I have no doubt that the people this ad was meant for will find the humor. Hopefully they will think of Adams when they need billboard space.

This one caught my attention because Adams has an office in Champaign, where I went to school. Good ad though, glad it did catch my attention.

Makati Fire Station

I thought this ad for the Makati Fire Station was very simple and effective.
