Inspirational Ads: Pantene Chrysalis
Sep 17th, 2011 by ellentsang
Possibly one of my favourite ads ever – Pantene Chrysalis.
Usually when you get interrupted by ads when you’re trying to watching something on TV or Youtube, most people would find ads bothersome and can’t wait for it to be over. But for Pantene Chrysalis, I was completely engaged by it. Probably the only commercial that has ever made me want to cry, this inspirational advertisement tells the story of a deaf and mute girl who learns to play the violin against all odds. This is more than a commercial, it teaches you the life lesson to Never Give Up.
Pantene Chrysalis was also named by AdFreak as one of the 25 Best Advertisements That Aren’t Apple’s ‘1984’. I really have to applaud Pantene for creating such masterpiece, its ability to engage us emotionally is why it is one of my favourite ads of all time.
