With the MLB All Star weekend in progress which included the Home Run Derby that took place last night,  Nike honored Ken Griffey Jr’s legacy as a baseball player with this great commercial highlighting him as one of the greatest of all time. “Hello, Cooperstown” for those of your who don’t know is a reference to the Baseball Hall of Fame that resides in Cooperstown, New York.

Audi takes a stab at BMW; Just friendly Competition

Posted: July 5th, 2010 | Author: Zach | Filed under: Ads, TV, Video | Tags: , , | View Comments

A while back Media Zombies posted a billboard from BMW saying “checkmate” in response to Audi’s billboard that stated “Your move BMW”. Here the roles are reversed. As a guy that doesn’t know too much about cars I’m not sure which one is actually better, I’m guessing just preference but that’s just me. Audi’s look classy, but BMW is classic.

Patagonia sends strong message with the Members Project

Posted: July 2nd, 2010 | Author: Zach | Filed under: Ads, TV, Video | Tags: , | View Comments

As a person that doesn’t do much winter sports, I hadn’t heard of this company called Patagonia until I ended up doing a case study for it while at school. The case was very intensive and challenged you to do a good amount of outside research on the company in order to answer the questions given at the end of the case. After doing a good amount of research on Patagonia I really fell in love with this company. They are so passionate about the environment and they really try to pride themselves on making the very best outdoor clothing and equipment for a number of different areas such as winter sports, hiking, climbing and surfing to name a few.

What’s interesting is that environmentalism is such a big part of their company and they really show that in this commercial by teaming up with the Members Project trying to get to donate and volunteer.

NBA Thanks Fans for Watching

Posted: June 9th, 2010 | Author: Zach | Filed under: Ads, TV, Video | Tags: , , , , | View Comments

While watching the NBA finals the other day I saw this great commercial by the NBA thanking all basketball fans for watching throughout the 2009 – 2010 season. I thought it was a great commercial and great timing during the NBA finals when every one’s watching; well Boston and LA at least. Go Celtics. Beat LA.

If this doesn’t get you pumped up to watch the World Cup on June 11th, I don’t know what will! Very dope spot right here that features the likes of soccer football stars Wayne Rooney, Christiano Ronaldo, and Didier Drogba.

When was the last time you saw a Starbucks commercial? It’s been a while since I’ve seen one, mostly they seem to focus on print media. I saw this commercial the other day and thought it was appropriate with the warm weather on it’s way. Enjoy.

Juggling Beers and More – Men With Talent (commercial)

Posted: May 2nd, 2010 | Author: Shaun | Filed under: Ads, TV | Tags: | View Comments

Remember Heineken’s walk-in fridge spot from last year? Of course you do – it was probably one of the most memorable commercials in recent memory.

The same agency who created that, TBWA\Neboko in Amsterdam, just came through with a follow up spot that puts a funny spin on those “Got Talent” reality TV shows.  Move over Susan Boyle! There’s a new wave of talent out there.

Nike’s Athletes Air? commercial

Posted: April 25th, 2010 | Author: Zach | Filed under: Ads, TV, Video | Tags: , , | View Comments

So apparently the Nike shoes you get are filled with air from Nike sponsored athletes. I don’t know about you, but I’m going to cop some Nike Air Max and try and dunk. The grunt removal system was great as well. I think today is Nike commercial day at MZ.
