Eyebrowbics: All the scream with the cool kids of today.
So the new Cadbury’s ad just came out, I saw it earlier today. I have to say that once again I’m not impressed by A glass and half full productions. It’s vaguely interesting in a weird way and I’m sure it will be talked about a lot (I’m saying I don’t like it, but I’m still writing about it…).
Given how much I disliked the Gorilla when it came out and it so successful (So I hear, at least) and well received that I’m wondering if my personal preference and opinion simply goes in opposite directions of that of the majority of people – and actually please confirm this is true only if you really want to please my ego. ;o)
This whole talk about the Gorilla and emotional marketing is sort of absurd. I watch the Eyebrowbics and I’m definitely sure it stirs emotions for the viewer – I suspect a range from amusement, laughter, slight confusion, like/dislike, etc.
But it doesn’t say anything. Is there a message I’m not getting? Not really a story either… Is it enough to cause an emotion for the audience watching to associate it with your company, or does the memory prime the video content over that of. I think it’s the latter. Just like any user created video, only with more money and a product depicted at the end.
Anyways, that’s just one more positive tick in my mind for Lindt and Green & Black’s and even though I rarely eat Cadbury’s chocolate, I think I will suppress it entirely from my diet.
