Top 10 Ads - 2009

I just came across TIME's Top 10 Ads for 2009. I definitely don't agree with half of them, but below are five ads that I really did enjoy that were on the list.

Coca-Cola - I've always enjoyed their spots. Always does a great job of standing out in a neat way. Definitely a great commercial.


Prius - Not a fan of the Toyota Prius, but I really like this commercial. Kind of has the same feel as the Coke one, but still great content. Displays the benefits of the Prius. Still has the "eco-friendly" feel to the ads.


American Express - Always great when credit card companies reassure their clients. AmEx did a great job showcasing their promises to their clients.


Travelers Insurance - Definitely enjoyed this commercial. A very innovative way to spark someone's interest about searching for insurance. And definitely has an emotional appeal to it.


General Motors - I hadn't seen this commercial until I saw the Top 10 List. GM did a great job "reintroducing" themselves with their new branding. I wasn't a fan of the bailout, but this commercial offers reassurance.


I'm looking forward to seeing what advertisers are coming up with next year. Always eager to find ads that promote responsibility in a creative way.

Talk about an impact!

Rice Krispies Commercial

Today my family and I are relaxing watching some movie and this commercial came on. After about 15 seconds my sister, Colleen, and I look at each other and say, "it would be really nice to have one of those right now!"



So, we decide to go buy stuff to make Rice Krispies. Talk about effective advertising! And talk about a really good dessert!

That is what I love about the industry of advertising. When you can produce positive and effective advertisments that actually impact people I think it's awesome. That is what it's all about, right?

Love it.
