Insanity and advertising

Speaking of advertising, have you ever seen a commercial that made you think "is the advertising company that produced this commercial insane?".... well I have. Here are some of my favorites.

What are they trying to say here? That if you buy this car you will be as awesome as a traveling hamster.... Crazy!

I feel like I am being bombarded by happy sunshine people in morning too. I understand why this commercial was never aired but I wish it was.

Now I know why this commercial was never air but it makes me feel so great!

You may not believe this but this is an ad for Diesel jeans. 

What is so wonderful about these ads is that because they are strange and unconventional, it creates a buzz. Though some of the ads have never been aired and show the produce for just a moment (or some times not at all) they are still doing a good job at getting the word out there about the product.

The Guerilla in the room

Advertising is all a round us so much so that we don't always pay attention to what we are looking at, and how it is effecting us; that is why I decide to focus this post on "guerilla marketing". First let me give a bit of an explanation of what "guerilla marketing" is: the origin of the term comes from  guerilla warfare, ( a way of warfare in which irregular combat uses the element of surprise to strike a target, and withdraw quickly). Guerilla marketing using low-cost unconventional means to get consumers attention, cause a sensation and linger in the subconsciousness of people for a long time. Here are some of my favorite example of guerilla marketing:

This ad is for Golds gym.

German ad from ZDF. The slogan is “Erotic movies without interruption.”

An ad for Mr. Clean.

Ad for Old Timer Restaurant.

Ad for Feed SA (South Africa) 

Ad for ESPN

Ad for Jobs in Town a job recruiting company in Berlin.

I just found this and thought it was perfect and very silly. I am a huge fan of all things wedding,  the hipster spin is a little off base. Seems like everything that is trendy is a "hipster" thing. Anyway enjoy!

Just one more!

I love this photo! The deterioration of the car and the harsh words spray painted across the car.
