YOU TUBE MAC COMMERCIAL These commercials include two characters, a Mac and a PC computer. They had a series with these two characters running for quite a while. They are effective because they are funny, entertaining and showcase Mac’s superiority. They are competitive and openly put down their competitor, but it works because what they poke fun at what is true of PCs. CONCERNED CHILDREN’S ADVERTISER’S COMMERICAL This commercial immediately attracts attention, due to the tiny hippo they have running around. It is both adorable and not very realistic, yet it has people mesmerized. When it shifts gears, it has a strong message … “Don’t believe everything you see on TV”. This is a good commercial because once it sucks you in, it has something important to say.
