The new Aero ad is pretty good actually. Like most things these days it's inspired by a video found on You Tube; but the end result is original, fun, and backed by great music. And any ads featuring Bob Burnquist start a mark up with me.
Just two things though:
1. The Fallon Principle: Just because someone has given you budget for a 1min ad, doesn't mean you have to use it. The 30 cut is far better.
2. The Coke Principle: What in the name of Ogilvy, Bernbach, Webster and Draper is that bite shot about. It's awful, truly awful. I hope that it was client insistence that kept it in. Give us product shot, give us neon AERO logo, but please please don't ever give us that again.
