this ad has me scratching my head. is targeting sex starved guys the way forward? relating juicy bits to boobies, isn't that a bit passé? or do i have a feminist attitude? i thought this was a lynx ad to begin with. i find it even more perplexing that this ad was created in ireland. in my opinion this is alienating a huge segment of their market and could be damaging to the brand although i can hear plenty of guys out there going 'phoar.' sigh.

just seen ellen's new ads for jcpenny in the us. have to say these must be based on great planning and insight. the line 'was it always this way?' is carried through the ads, each from a different point in history. insight should be fresh but almost obvious - this is what consumers have wanted for years! the biggest bug bears in retail - returns, coupons, the rush for sales and not rounding to the nearest dollar to appear cheaper. so long as jcpenny practice what they preach, they're onto a winner with this campaign. brilliant use of celebrity and humour to get this simple message across.

i like the simple execution of this idea but feel the copy is a little weak, namely 'everything good begins with' doesn't read well. i guess the ad was produced in berlin so that may have something to do with it? 'good things begin with great coffee' or 'all good things begin with great coffee' would be an improvement in my opinion. also not sure about the use of green for the drink just to get the overlay colour although i'm probably over thinking it in relation to the average mcdonald's punter ;-)
