After checking most of them out, I stumbled across <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adweek.com\/\">AdWeek<\/a>. A website that introduces advertising and promotion from everything from TV commercials to new technology advances. I absolutely loved the site. As I researched it a little bit closer, I found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adweek.com\/adfreak\">AdFreak<\/a>,a page within AdWeek, that emphasizes advertisement in television, on the web, and anywhere else. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"imagecache imagecache-top-banner\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.adweek.com\/files\/imagecache\/top-banner\/adfreak_header_80px05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"988\" height=\"80\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For a guy who loves watching different commercials and then the idea of compiling and sorting these commercials into different lists, this site was ideal. I spent a few hours doing &#8220;research&#8221; on the site and found out that that the best list of advertisements was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adweek.com\/adfreak\/10-funniest-commercials-all-time-132666\">this<\/a>. I can honestly say that this will not be the only time I will visit the site and I sincerely wish I would have known about it sooner. Before taking Comm296, I, as many others feel, hated the idea of commercials cutting into Tv time. But as I grasp a better idea and knowledge of how advertising and promotion work, I focus a lot harder on commercials to see what message, the marketers try to convey. It&#8217;s a field of work that I am really interested in and hope to some day pursue a job within this field.<\/p>\n<p>A few days ago, I saw this commercial:<\/p>\n<p>[youtube]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tVy5VRnikJg[\/youtube]<\/p>\n<p>I am a huge fan of it. One of the reasons I enjoy it so much is because it has a nice balance of comedy and sending the message across. Personally this balance makes the best commercials.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this week&#8217;s blog, I looked at the blogs recommended readings to give inspiration for something to write about.
