🤔🧠Now that I’ve had a little time to digest… These are my four favorite ads from the #Superbowl
also would have included the Ram Trucks ad Jeff Summers and company worked on. But I didn’t see it actually air:(
1️⃣ “Perfect 10” This spot tugged the heart strings, made my mom cry, and everyone watching say “I liked that one” right after. I especially loved how at first like many great ads, they make you wonder… when that seat was missing. It made me think and want to find out why?
Huge kudos to Kia WorldwideRussell Wager and David&Goliath and everyone involved. A truly Perfect 🔟
2️⃣ “Dareful Handle” Now this spot just hit the “mural respect” ad to the tee. I loved the fact that almost everyone who has done some “adventurous” stuff in their vehicles knew exactly what they meant. So this was targeted towards the adventurers, what a spin off from the original saying.
Great job Toyota North America and Saatchi & Saatchi (We Are Saatchi) for absolutely crushing this spot!
3️⃣ “Almost Champions” M&M’s once again came out with a classic commercial. Loved the feature of T.O and Scarlett Johansson, such a solid casting and overall a super funny spot.
Good job! Mars and BBDO Worldwide
4️⃣ “Mullets” A super original idea, simple messaging and great visuals. That new Ridge looks Badass as well!
Again, congrats on the spot! Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. And Goodby Silverstein & Partners
Now there were so many great commercials, and I couldn’t list them all, but these were my top 4, top 5 technically.
Did I miss any?

In this 1962 ad by DDB Germany, we see how VW really honed in on the unique shape of the Beetle. Turning a possible negative into a huge selling point. “Ask any hen”.

Still on storytelling, this automobile brand, Skoda, focuses on a romance story between Honeybees.
Even emphasized by the campaign title: "Honeyed Love", the use of Honeybees to pinpoint the important benefits of their best-selling SUV, while focusing on the love story in the air (😊) is applaudable👏🏽.
Took me a while to figure this out but I love the approach, especially for an industry where the status quo is mostly driving footage.

In the vehicle industry, it is very competitive.
That’s why vehicle ads must look in new directions to evaluate their effectiveness constantly.
Not only is this ad creative but it also is very simplistic.
Which simplicity is a commonly forgotten tactic when trying to showcase a vehicle.
However, even a brand-new car can have a huge boost in sales from a simplistic ad.
So Ford seems to be getting ahead of the game by changing up the common ad you might see.
What do you think of this one?

Leveraging the power of story.
I challenge you to watch this film without getting emotional.
If you are a business, small or large, it is crucial to recognise the power of story and connection with audiences to deliver your brand values and unique position in the market.
After all we only do business with people and brands that we like and trust.
At Indimax Productions this film demonstrates the way we also approach our clients and empower them to the value and power of story.
In 2024 how will you use story to engage in your branding and marketing campaigns?

What principles form the foundation of your brand identity?
.
Recognizing your core values and maintaining focus is crucial for a successful strategy, reminding both existing and potential customers of your brand's foundation. Many brands tend to stray from these core values that initially built their identity. This ad resonates with me in terms of Volkswagen's emphasis on quality and the long-term reliability of their vehicles, ensuring they run as smoothly as when they were first built.

Bringing back this classic print ad for Das Auto! #GoodAdsMatter
Titled ‘Bad Part’, this Volkswagen ad was aimed at selling the brand’s original car parts.
For this, VW chose a fun approach to highlight precisely the message they wanted to convey, which has also gone down among some of the brand’s most memorable ads!
A crowd of young boys in training who are meant to mirror the exact pattern experiences a hole in uniformity when one in a thousand chooses to not comply.
With the tagline, “A bad part affects the entire system,” VW proves its message incontestable through striking visuals that have stood the test of time.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but a story? It's priceless. As a marketer, I've witnessed firsthand the incredible impact of storytelling on brand messaging. Chevrolet's recent commercial... This isn't just an ad, it's a powerful narrative that grabs you by the heartstrings and doesn't let go. Such a great reminder for brands - It's not about pushing products or services, it's about connecting with people.
Worth your time. Take a couple of minutes to watch, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.
