That is the reason they spent the money.<BR/><BR/>in an indirect sort of way, it absolutely will. what bud has done w/that commercial is something they excel at doing: indirect branding thru powerful images. they don't promote the product, they promote a lifestyle. remember the christmas commercials they ran forever? or the clydesdales playing football and the zebra referee? neither actively promoted the product BUT folks talk about how well done they are, the emotions they stir and THAT'S what bud's banking on -- literally.<BR/><BR/>my dad was in advertising and rule #1 is make the people remember the brand. every poster here mentioned "that bud airport ad" so they have been successful in rule #2.<BR/>rule #2 is "get them to buy the brand." what these commercials do is make us feel good about bud so maybe we'll pay more attention to their straight product ads and maybe even buy the beer.<BR/><BR/>of course, all that's just the cynic in me. could be bud was just feeling patriotic . . . or something. still, it is a great ad, hands down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-10307860520648475962008-05-27T08:09:00.000-04:002008-05-27T08:09:00.000-04:00Anyway, I like it, and the understated way it is d...<B>Anyway, I like it, and the understated way it is done.

I think I remember seeing it sometime earlier, but am not sure, maybe around Thanksgiving or Christmas? <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I like it, and the understated way it is done.

No words and you had no clue who did it until a Bud logo flashes at the end , <BR/>along with a link to the USO website . <BR/><BR/>In the age of over the top commercials that follow NASCAR . I thought it was one of the best I've seen in a long time . <BR/><BR/>It was so awesome to see Indy this year - you can see a difference already in open wheel racing - I hope they keep the momentum going .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-52850850261958026392008-05-26T14:32:00.000-04:002008-05-26T14:32:00.000-04:00Yeah I noticed the ill fitting blue shirts right a...Yeah I noticed the ill fitting blue shirts right away.

Buy the right size (every man knows his sleeve length and collar measurement, in my experience), choose a color that'll work for TV, and keep it simple. BTW, pleated pants make every guy in them look twenty pounds heavier.
