eBay

I noticed the "shop victoriously" logo on eBay before I saw this ad, and didn't really stop to think about it. Very clever.

Childhood Dreams

I don't know about anyone else, but I sure as hell didn't dream about a "magic screen" as a child. And I don't think I really had "music, pictures, and stories" beyond my Raffie cassette tapes and a copy of Curious George.

My Favorite Commercial

For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by advertising.

It intrigues me because all advertising exists, really, for one single objective and yet accomplishes this (or attempts to) in an incredibly vast number of different and creative ways. 

This objective is, of course, to raise the bottom line. And it's true, many advertisements do this in very, very indirect ways (increasing brand equity, product recall and other such marketing mumbo jumbo), but when you get right down to it, it's all about making more money.

This blog is about the ads that have I seen that have jumped out at me, for reasons both good and bad.

Below, is my favorite commercial of all time (so far).
