Real Beauty

Nowadays, many successful companies are trying to move away from the annoying video format in which the brand name is repeated 10 times in 30 seconds. Advertisers are trying to do something more, something that will appeal to our senses, our worldview. This way went international brand Dove, which manufactures products for body care. The company launched a project called Real Beauty Sketches. It’s kind of an experiment in which a trained artist paints women, seeing them: first the words themselves participating, then the words of random people who have seen the first member. Since only 4% of women consider themselves beautiful, the main message of for the rest of 96%: «You are more beautiful than you think».

Scarecrow

Standing next thing that I would like to draw your attention to an advertisement Animation US catering Shiptotle Mexican Grill. It tells the story of a character from the Scarecrow (Scarecrow), who went to work in a large company. The company this looks like a conveyor belt of epic proportions. Keep an eye here for all crows, hence the name «Crow Foods Incorporated». Although one of the mottos of the corporation All Natural (all natural!), Its products, in general, far from it. But people do not think about it! The main thing is that the label was written something like 100% beef-ish (100% beef flavored).
