John Lewis’ ‘Bear and Hare’ ad released for Christmas became one of the most talked about ad over social media after collecting over 212,000 mentions on Twitter and thousands of shares on Facebook and various other social media websites. This ad that won so many hearts, speaks about the beautiful bond of friendship shared between a hare and a bear, who never left each other’s sides, except for the winter time, that was when the bear had to leave for his cave to hibernate and thus he missed the celebrations of Christmas every year. However, this year the hare had a brilliant idea to make sure his best friend gets to celebrate the joyous occasion of Christmas just like all the other animals. And, the plan was to gift him an alarm clock, that would wake up the bear just at the right time! And so, the bear since then celebrated…

‘Skip Ad’ Button Shows How Job Seekers Can Be Ignored

By Advergize Staff

We have learned and preached about how important it is to give everyone a second chance, but do we also practice what we preach, is what this ad for Business in the Community aims to ask. The ad features an ex-offender who now wishes to turn over a new leaf by seeking for job opportunities, but who is ready to hear him out? This ad by Leo Burrnet Change makes use of the Youtube ‘skip ad’ button to show how easy it is to ignore ex-convicts seeking for job opportunities. As soon as you click on the button, the video is played over again and the applicant becomes more desperate to have someone hear him out. However, if you go through the entire video without clicking the ‘skip ad’ button, the applicant becomes more confident as he speaks about how he wishes to earn legally, and appreciates you taking out…

Dulux Envisions a World Where Colour Was Illegal

By Advergize Staff

This TVC by Dulux makes you imagine a colourless world where colour was banned, everything you saw around was dull and boring. The law forced you to remain black and white every time you stepped out of your house, while every colourful thing was was taken in by the law enforcement agencies. Doesn’t it sound like a boring place to live in, right? But just as you would wish for, a revolution quickly took place and transformed the colourless world into a brightly lit colourful place to live. The revolution only came in when a few tin cans of Dulux paint were illegally carried in the city that steadily spread colour into the lives of the residents. Since then, Dulux became a known name in everyone’s lives and colour became a common sight! Cheesy but sweet.

Jägermeister Celebrates a Journey to Surf

By Advergize Staff

When it comes to advertising alcoholic drinks, we have seen a number of unrealistic ads that mostly talk about how downing a glass of beer can make you a stronger person, and more attractive to women. However, this recent campaign by Jägermeister is a complete contrast to the typical adverts. Jägermeister’s ‘Journey to Surf’ advert features a bunch of professional surfers who are out in search of adventure and a perfect spot to surf. Fighting the harsh weather conditions, rough winds and bad infrastructures, yet cherishing some great moments together, they finally enjoy a perfect surf in the icy cold waters. Later, the friends together celebrate their journey with a shot of Jägermeister. Why I loved this ad was because, it portrayed no unrealistic powers associating with Jägermeister drinkers. In fact, the drink was merely shown as a product to celebrate success and great friendships. What do you think, realistic portrayals of products…
