I’ve been an advertising buff all my life.  I’ve commented on some nasty ads here and here.  And shared some sparklers here, here,  here and here.
Most ads speak about the greatness of their products.  Not this ad.  Yet I’m convinced to try it out.  And they executed the ad in under 15 seconds, with just one actor and a minimalist set.  Now that’s advertising!
Here are some solid ad headlines:
 |
Feared by more people than ever before. | |
|
Your cough won’t know what hit it, neither will you. | |
|
Made with oil of Pine needles. What did you expect it to taste like? | |
|
People swear by it. And at it. | |
|
Our largest bottle is 200 ml. Anything more would be cruel. | |
|
Not new. Not improved. | |
|
How bad does it taste? That depends. How bad is your cough? | |
|
Unfortunately, adding DM doesn’t make it taste any better. | |
|
I’m dedicated to ensuring every new batch of Buckley’s tastes as bad as the last. | |
|
Four of the most dreaded words in the English language: “Get out the Buckley’s!” | |
|
I have recurring nightmares in which someone gives me a taste of my own medicine. | |
|
Since 1919, we’ve been leaving Canadians with a bad taste in their mouths |
