Beyond the Average Ad...

This week's assignment involves critiquing one of this year's Super Bowl ads. Some might ask why are ads important or better yet are they? Well I believe the answers to both of those inquiries are yes. As much fun as it is to see the commericals that run during the Super Bowl, it is just as enjoyable to run across the ones that highlight a specific message. (By the way my favorite ad this year was the Chrysler commercial featuring Eminem).

But as far as ads go, here is a video about an ad/message that was created by CNN International. The message and the artistry certainly go beyond the average ad. Enjoy!

  1. I love how the CNN tape went through new buildings, restaurants, the subway station, pubs, etc...and the stories that were told on the tape's journey. Thanks for sharing. I'd never heard about it. - Best, Stacy

  2. Thanks Stacy. I was really intrigued by this video because the ad won a 2010 Clio Award, which is the equivalent of an Oscar for advertising. ~ Charlotte
