The main purpose of my blog today is to talk about Old Spice’s really popular and funny advertisements. I first saw these ads in the movie theatre, and ever since then they have become a phenomenon.
I think these ads are really effective for both men and the women who may buy/influence the buying process. Old Spice has even incorporated further social media usage by being active on Twitter, and also responding to Twitter posts through Youtube videos.
As you can see, this video has over 4 million hits on it! That is what I call a popularity phenomenon. What I find really interesting about these ads, though, is responses from other people.
My favorite response to these Old Spice ads is actually made by Sesame Street.
From what I remember from Sesame Street, they always did some pretty lame commercials that weren’t effective towards kids or parents. This is a huge leap forward for Sesame Street, as they are using modern technology and riding on the popularity of Old Spice’s ads. Good job for Sesame Street!
