AdGab: April 2009
http://adgab.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 06, 2009. Mac v PC - Mac Wins and Goes Green. Ever since Mac launched its Mac v. PC campaign the battle between Mac and PC has been going strong. I am a huge fan of this campaign and was interested in how PC would respond. Much to my disappointment, PC did not respond with a campaign that came anywhere close to the Mac campaign. There are other aspects of the PC campaign that just do not work. Take, for example, the following two commercials:. Wow, aren't they cute? View my complete profile.

AdGab: MyTouch Doesn't.
http://adgab.blogspot.com/2011/01/mytouch-v-iphone.html
Tuesday, January 11, 2011. I was going to do a post about some print ads today (The Good, The Bad, and The One That Makes Me Giggle), but with the announcement that the iPhone 4G is finally coming to Verizon on February 10th, I thought it was fitting to gripe about another less-than-wonderful television commercial. In this case it's not just the commercial, it's the whole campaign. Back in April 2009 I blogged about the Microsoft ads. There's not many out there. Wait, what's that? Enter stage left: Veriz...

AdGab: December 2009
http://adgab.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 07, 2009. Here are just some of the holiday ad's I've really been enjoying this holiday season. WalMart Thanks Our Troops. Target: Made by Elves. In all honesty, this commercial just makes me laugh. That's all there is to it. A big improvement from their horrible Black Friday commercials. Which holiday ads do you like this year? Time to get interactive. Actually, Brine has been interactive for a while now, but I finally found the time to sit down and join the tribe. For those that do not...

AdGab: New Year. New Writing. New Advertising Thoughts.
http://adgab.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-year-new-writing-new-advertising.html
Tuesday, January 04, 2011. New Year. New Writing. New Advertising Thoughts. And I get to pick apart the commercials that we can't stand. The number one winner for 2010 was Tide Acti-Lift. 1) The shot of the mother and her friends walking into the club is reminiscent of a shot in the opener of season one of The Hills. Yes, let me screen-split it to show the full ridiculousness. (Also note the outfits her friends are wearing.). 2) Why is the mother and her friends at a club? Okay mothers of kids and teenag...

AdGab: Chobani v. FAGE: The Greek Yogurt Advertising Battle
http://adgab.blogspot.com/2011/04/chobani-v-fage-greek-yogurt-advertising.html
Friday, April 01, 2011. Chobani v. FAGE: The Greek Yogurt Advertising Battle. It seems like there is now a yogurt out there for everything. Yogurt that cuts calories for those that want to be fit, yogurt for those with digestive issues, yogurt for those that crave sweets, and now the original Greek yogurt seems to be going main stream. Recently, commercials for both FAGE and Chobani Greek yogurt have been airing in the battle for brand awareness and consumer sales. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

AdGab: March 2011
http://adgab.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 30, 2011. I know, I know. I've fallen way behind on the blog posts! But who can blame me? The weather has been beautiful (minus today) and since the start of daylight savings time I'm able to run outside after work instead of going on the treadmill. I can't resist! Plus, I have a lot of big announcements to share, but they will have to wait a while. New advertising posts coming soon. I promise. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Columbus Area, Ohio, United States.

Saturday, April 09, 2011. Art Show Blunder: Event Hosting Tips for Young Professionals. I went to an art show last night where I encountered a less-than-professional young professional. From an event attendee and fellow young professional, here are my tips for yp's that are attending their own events:. 1 Don't drink, especially if there's an open bar. A glass of wine usually leads to a second, and a third, and before you know it you're no longer running your event, you're at your own party. It seems like...
