On an unrelated note.
Part of the beauty of advertising is that commercials don’t really have to relate to the products they’re advertising at all. And that’s a relief, when you’re responsible for creating an emotional connection with chicken tenders or wiper blades.
Let's see how a few brands went about creating memorable campaigns for not terribly memorable products this week.
Here are the ads.
When you sell pizza but want people to try your new chicken, you pull out all the stops. Including samurai cats.
It’s a lot of guns and knives, with the payoff being a reference to a McSaver meal.
It’s WALL-E all over again. But with wiper blades. Kind of.
