In their new “Let’s Do Amazing” campaign, HP wants to be known as complete technology provider, and not simply just a maker of computers and printers. A series of new branded tv spots shows the impact of HP’s recent technological innovations and collaborations. Pumping up the PC with Dr. Dre Beats audio technology and saving UPS over 2 million pounds of paper each year with label-free shipping scanners are among some of the “amazing” technological advancements you can thank HP for. All of the ads feature a gentleman with an Australian(?) accent who adds a nice touch of comic relief to each spot.
I meant to post this a LONG time ago. But as you can see by the lack of updates, I never got a chance.
Emotional and captivating, this road safety PSA from the Sussex Safer Roads Partnership might be one of the most effective and beautiful PSA’s I have ever seen. With over 2,000,000 views on YouTube, it’s already a viral hit.
See, PSA’s don’t have to be cheesy or use scare tactics in order to work. They have to create a believable emotional connection with their target, and this spot does just that.
Here’s a look at the new Lebron James and Dwight Howard McDonald’s commercial verses the original Michael Jordan and Larry Bird McDonald’s commercial. I personally like the idea of the new one, but I don’t like how it is all fake dunks, or simulated dunks I should say. They probably have strings and use other camera magic to pull of all these humanly impossible dunks. Otherwise I like watching them both. Which is your favorite?
I thought the commercials this year were ok, not as good as Ive seen in past years, but still interesting. I thought the Doritos commercials were ok, I enjoyed a few of them and others I feel like I’ve seen before. However this one above I found myself laughing the hardest at while I was watching. There were a few that could have taken the top spot for my favorite pick but I choose this one because it was very unexpected and funny. Check out the post below for all of the superbowl ads from this year and last year.
There were 2 games going on during Super Bowl Sunday. There was the #superbowl, which saw the New Orleans Saints defeat Peyton Manning and the Colts, and the #brandbowl, where Coca-Cola, Bud Light, Doritos, VW, Google, and Snickers, among many others, battled each other to win the hearts (and wallets) of American consumers.
Thanks to Mullen and Radian 6 for making Brand Bowl 2010 possible, we were able to see which brands were having the most success with consumers in real time. We didn’t have to wait until the next morning when the USA Today Ad Meter came out. We’re an instant gratification culture. We like seeing results as they happen.
According to the results of the Brand Bowl, Doritos had the most successful night out of any brand. Looks like their 12 million was well spent? Google and Focus on the Family round out the Top 3.
If you happened to miss the game or want to watch your favorite ads again, check out the Ad Zone widget below provided by Hulu. Speaking of Hulu, they’ve come pretty far since they first introduced themselves to the U.S. during last years Super Bowl. Let’s just hope they don’t ever start charging for content. We like you the way you are, Hulu.
Now go ahead, click around and watch the ads. Feel free to tell us what you think. What were your favorite ads? How did they compare to ads from previous years?
In their latest crowdsourcing competition, Doritos is giving the the winning contestants the chance to win $5 million dollars for the commercials they produced. What do they have to do to win the cash money? They have to beat the best in the game: the ad pros, by taking the top spot in USA Today’s annual ad meter for best Super Bowl spot.
The challenge is down to the final 6 contestants right now, and Doritos will air commercials from the 3 who garner the most votes. I watched all of the spots here. They’re what you would expect from a typical Doritos commercial – high on slapstick comedy and tomfoolery. My favorites so far are “Casket” and “Snack Attack Samurai.”
What’s your favorite? Do you think any of these ads have a chance at taking the top spot in USA Today’s ad meter?

In the newest Kobe and Lebron puppet commercial Kobe’s shoes literally bring down the house. The new Nike Zoom Kobe 5’s are in stores now. It pains me to post this commercial about Kobe seeing as I’m from Boston, but nevertheless it’s another great commercial by Nike.
