Least Favorite Commercial

Sometimes people should just stick to the original

This commercial lacked an effort in thought. Boost Mobile usually tries to target a younger crowd with their ethnic and urban trends in commercials. This Super Bowl they decided to re create an original Supr Bowl Shuffle performed by the Bears years ago. I get that they tried to make a commercial to relate to the actual football event that the Super Bowl is, but it decided to target a differnent audience. The old school rap and remix of another commercial hits an older crowd. The younger demographics that they usually try to appeal to propbably did not get it and were uninterested.

AND THE AWARD GOES TO…

Coke… an icon in itself… used another icon.. The Simpsons… to get their traditional message across “Have a Coke and a Smile”

They found a way to relate to EVERYONE by incorporating the hard times that we find ourselves in and simply told a story that took you from depressed to a Smile.

Considering  a popular drink like Coca Cola, if not the most famous soda, you would think  their brand just speaks for itself. In my opinion it their reputation does, but they have to provide commercials to keep their drink on your mind. 

This commercial reaches one of the largest target audiences. Using a community based tv show it allows for everyone to relate to their own personal favorite character and it includes the young and the old. The show has been around for so long that their is no hidden untold story that you need background info to understand like the Tim Tebow commercial.  And i think it was extremely effective in its how it relates to a man down and out. Someone provides him with this great drink and it brings him all the happiness he did not know of before.

CLASSIC!
