You hear a lot, from clients, from the trade press, from cliche slingers about the importance of story-telling in advertising. Then the time comes to tell a story and you start hearing things like, "nobody reads," "too many words," "who cares." As an existentialist might say, 'there's a subject-object chasm.' Or some such.
I just came upon this piece from Scotland that is wonderful. It's all about the product. All about the brand. All about their tagline. And a wonderful, watchable, shareable story.
I don't say this often, but I wish I had done it.
Take a look at it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7lnnZiORpk
Normally, I'd upload the video, but I'm working on a fuhkaktah freelancer's mac and I can't.
Wow. Thanks for that one. Truly memorable and you can almost taste the rich determination they have managed to bottle. :)

Does make you want to learn more, drink JW and visit Scotland. Even did a little research and found that this story is based on truth, which is pretty refreshing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this memorable story.
You don't see "fuhkaktah" much in print anymore, do you?
ReplyDeleteNo, Bob, there's some fuhstunkenah rule against it.
