  • I don’t like ads as they are usually nothing more than just sales pitches of Companies frantically promoting their products.
  • As a result, I don’t watch TV a lot, but I love watching sports competitions so much that I am even ready to sit through commercial breaks during sports programs.
  • Earlier advertisements were rare and had only a certain simple message. Now we have a plethora of them- and some of them are even better than TV commercials.
  • Recently, I watched a commercial of Mercedes and I just fell in love with it. Last month, my friend told me about this advert and then I checked it on YouTube. It is a lovely commercial. A 6-7 years old boy is shown packing a bag and holding a map.
  • He is then shown moving from place to place according to the map as if he knows the place where he wants to go. He wanders from place to place and then reaches to the showroom of Mercedes.
  • He goes to the man in the showroom and says that he is lost and the man says that this is the last time I am giving you a lift to the house.
  • And I felt so good. I mean the boy was so innocent and then he moves here and there and then very politely says that he is lost.
  • I fell in love with the innocence of the boy and the way the entire add was shoot it felt fantastic. There was no message said, but it was felt and I think that matters.
  • The message that Mercedes is loved by all.

OR

  • We watch so many advertisements on TV and some of them we like and feel interesting. One such interesting advertisement was the ad of Cello Pen.
  • This was a creative advertisement and I found it very interesting.  I watched this advertisement a few months ago on a TV channel while I was watching a live sport telecasting.
  • I still remember it because it was bit unique and the way it was presented was quite good and touchy.
  • The advertisement starts with a boy who was in a school and then studied in a college and finally in a university and in the meantime the ad shows some of the successes he achieved and was congratulated.
  • Thus he became a successful journalist and finally won an international prize for his honesty and bravery in his profession.
  • His parents, mentors, teachers, friends and some others were highlighted at the end of the advertisement and as a flashback, the Cello pen was shown.
  • The advertisement revealed that the pen has contributed from the beginning to the end of his success and was never congratulated. Yet this is a silent partner of the man’s success.
  • This ad was a commercial ad for a company who manufactures and sells the pen. Thus the ads revealed how important the pens are to our success and how this pen helps people to become who they are!
  • I guess this was a creative ad and was made with care as it has been a good ad to watch.
