First of all, bear with me as I want you watch this video (it’s just over 6 minutes, but I think you’ll find it worth it).

I’ve taken an interest in keeping an eye on marketing campaigns this year — after taking an economics marketing class as part of my program. It’s an immensely amazing and expensive field that has a lot of variety. I’ve actually not seen this particular campaign when it aired starting 2000, but now having run into it as part of my YouTube browsing I find it absolutely amazing.

I think some clips work better than others, but even the weaker ones carry across the message so well. They inspire and invite and carry an ulterior moral message.

The clips in order are titled: Courage, Bronze, Giant, Silver, Rimes, Smile, Adversary.

For me, the standouts are the Silver/Bronze duo and the Smile ad, which goes so hand in hand with the spirit of the speech I did for my public speaking class. The Silver/Bronze spots do an amazing job of painting the Olympic celebration as a victory for all competitors, just watch them, you can’t fake elation like this.

Which one did you like? Why?

…you don’t have to.

…we’ve got to.

Band is called The Reason, song is called “We’re so beyond this”. Filler type stuff complete.

It amazes me to no end what extremes the human body is capable of. This is just mesmerizing to look at.

Maybe this is some daft attempt to introduce the flash video player. Or maybe I’ve just watched this about 6 times in a row. You tell me?!

Thanks to a link from AdamMc the legend continues. Will sell someone else’s soul for one. Please send offers.

Happy Happy Hippos. I owned that game when I was younger, I could never make one of the hippos win

GGGGG G-Unit. For further explanation, please do ask in the comments.

Not sure at one point, but I think this became pretty huge. I remember it sort of starting with some girl on an electric guitar doing hip-hop. But who really knows, it came from the Internet.

A memorable song returns; as I just recently caught it on TV and was actually really impressed by the concept of the show. Check it out, it’s called Live from Abbey Road and airs on Much More Music channel.

I was going to do only 5 videos. However if you’ve avoided the Halo rage on TV and in public, I’m going to fix that for you, right now.
