COPY WRITING

My friend tends to exaggerate. He called this ad the best beer ad ever. Whatever. It has a unique take on caper movie car chase scenes from the 80s.

I remember liking that when I saw it...but.

Where's the message? For me, the best ads were:

Everyone remembers 'Ave It and thinks of John Smith

or the Bud adverts. Wassup! was a gem.

See, I've already forgotten what beer that ad was for.

It something fun to watch, and it gets the subliminal in there. A lot of commercials are so boring. Not engaging. Like they just created it based on what the company thought they liked. I like it when people create an actual ad or commercial that really engages me.

I hate it when commercials are commercials.

  Even though the ads changed over the years there was outrage when the marketing of this beer changed from the format below.

It's hilarious, but I'm still going to drink Sam Adams.

The XXXX ads always get held up as greats because of the catchphrase. It works.
