Internet Dating . . .

Wow. What an excellent way to portray the dangers of online dating. Unfortunately, people do not take proper precautions when talking online to other people. Face-to-face conversation, especially when you first meet a person, is so important. A person cannot truly know another person's intentions if they do not have face-to-face contact.

Meeting another person on the internet is dangerous. There are so many pedophiles and creepers in the world and the internet allows them to thrive. This advertisement truly shows just how dangerous the internet can be. Maybe a person may be suave with his or her words, but that doesn't mean they are sincere about what they say.

Disgustingly Captivating

Driving and talking on a cellphone is such a problem in today's society. Although I often fall victim to this, it is something that should be taken very seriously. It is an issue that is brushed off by many people and not seen as important. However, this ad – while it is certainly disgusting – shows just how scary talking on the phone while driving can be.

As I said, yes, this ad is disgusting. But, it really gets the message across. The words "Don't talk while she's driving" written in blood, coming out of the phone, is honestly what makes this ad so surreal. This is such a dangerous thing to do, and the message needs to get across to people.

Hilariously Creative

One of my favorite board games is Clue. After seeing this ad, however, it quickly became my top favorite. This is such a creative idea. If I ever saw this in a bathroom, I would be dumfounded, and, honestly, would probably run straight to the store to buy a Clue board game. Advertising is really about the "wow" factor. This advertising tactic definitely has a plethora of wow in it. I could think of no better, more creative way to sell this game.

Another Nike Ad

Nike has such amazing ads. How cool is this picture? The reason I love this ad is because it is so creative. I would never have thought to take a picture of the same place and put the word Run with the Nike symbol in the bottom right corner.

From this ad, I can really tell how much effort Nike puts into its ad campaigns. It makes me like the company even more because I realize how hard it tries to show how great the company and product is. Creativity is key in advertising; therefore, Nike has an excellent advertising campaign.

Step Into Your Imagination

The "Become Someone Else" advertisement campaign is one of the best ads I have ever seen. In order to excite people to read books, the Love Agency ad company made this advertisement for Mint Vinety Bookstore. I think it is such a clever way to show how reading a book can take you away from reality and let you live someone else's life for a while. 


I absolutely love reading. It is such a great way to learn about life, to grow, to find oneself. Every time I read a book, I feel myself growing into the character. That is why I think this ad is so great. It actually illustrates a person becoming the book. I feel that this ad can make people want read and experience life with the character of a book.

Obesity is Suicide

This is an excellent obesity awareness ad. After thinking about it, this ad is extremely true: obesity is suicide. Being overweight is something a person can control. It is simple; as the ad suggests, cut out greasy, unhealthy foods, such as sausage links. Although being healthy and eating the right foods is not always the most food-satisfactory way to live, it is essential for living a long, happy life.

I thought this ad was so great because it uses the sausage links as a noose. Categorizing obesity as suicide is a great way to spread awareness. If a person can control his or her calorie intake, there is no need to be overweight and unhealthy. I appreciate this ad so much because of its creativity and uniqueness, and I feel as though there is no better way to depict obesity than through this picture.

Adorable

When I saw this advertisement, I instantly found myself thinking aww, how precious. And, this is precisely what FedEx was aiming for when they made this ad. By having older hands – which suggests a grandparent – give the toy to younger hands – which in return suggests a grandchild, FedEx is portraying its company as loving and family-oriented. It is bringing people together.

This ad does a great job of using emotional elements. Although there is no one demographic that this company has to aim towards – people of all ages and ethnicities mail items – FedEx is aiming towards elderly people with this ad. They did a great job aiming towards this age group because most grandparents' pride and joy is their grandchildren. The fact that I instantly was touched by this picture shows the effectiveness of this advertisement.
