Comical Commercials

I don’t watch TV so the only way I see and hear about commercials is on the net or in lectures. Since I study Marketing, I like watching commercials to see what methods are being used to communicate a product to the consumer. I definitely like the creativity that companies are using for their commercials lately. It seems that advertisements are going for a fun, comical approach which most of the time seems to have absolutely nothing to do with the product the company is trying to sell. However this method works extremely well because it manages to grab the consumers attention (which is difficult nowadays due to the overdose of advertising) plus it gets them talking about it (creating word of mouth). What makes this new advertising trend even cooler is that the consumer, so entertained, may not even acknowledge that a product is being sold to them which is great since consumers are fed up of being continuously bombarded with ‘buy my product’ messages. Yet, the company will successfully imprint their brand in the consumer’s mind subconsciously- great stuff! I heart marketing…
