Congratulations to the Superbowl Champions New Orleans Saints – they deserve it!
Last Sunday, over 101 million people (surpassed the season finale of M.A.S.H.) tuned in and saw a great game. Additionally, I’m led to believe the majority of those watching were equally interested in the commercials. Many commercials made me laugh out loud (David Letterman, Oprah Winfrey, and Jay Leno & The E-Trade babies), while others confused me (men walking around in their underwear).
In my opinion, Google is the winner… Never thought a search engine would create emotion with a story just from searching…BRILLIANT! You’ll notice the ad needs no catchy music, artwork, or flashy tricks to tell its story. They’re no gimmicks, no celebrity endorsement, no Photoshopped images, or any dubbed voices.
It’s the simplest of stories: A guy gets a girl.
Even shows you that you don’t have to know how to spell Louvre.
Here’s what I learned from Google’s ad:
- Their ad was simple
- Their ad showed the power of their product by demonstrating it
- Their ad told an entire story
- The Google logo was seen throughout. (Kinda nice to know who the actual advertiser is.)
What were your favorite Superbowl ads & what lessons did you learn from them?
So clearly I haven’t watched an ounce of the commercials or the actual game. I saw the Google ad cuz people were tweeting about it – guess I didn’t pay close enough attention to it.
The ad was nice – definitely well thought out. And now that you think about it – it makes total sense. Domination power though – and I love it. Just think – 5 years ago – we didn’t ‘google’ a thing – now Google is really a part of my daily life – I google stuff JUST because – lol
It's amazing how Google has become a verb!!!
What impressed me was: POWER COMES THRU SIMPLICITY & CLARITY.
Like your cupcakes, you're building a strong brand because they're good & you're not overwhelming us with cookies, cakes, pies, etc. Keep doing what you're doing man!
