But if this is what determines the effectiveness of an ad, then why is it that so many adverts don't present the truth? As advertisors we have the power to make you want things you never even knew you wanted or needed, that infact, you probably don't even want or need for at all. During the D&AD workshops Leanne & I learnt to sell expensive notepads on the notion it will say much more about an individual than if they were to have a cheap jotter. We also tried our hand at convincing you it's a great idea to swap houses with total strangers for the odd week at a time...
Advertising is a subjective media, but one that I personally wish to develop by opening honest lines of communication with the audience... and if I can make people smile in the process, like this advert did for me, then i'mma be pretty happy.
