REDD's -- the ''crisp will get u'' thing is losing taste
Is repetition really good advertising? I think that the advert has been on air for the whole of 2004, with no breaks (or were they too short). 10 Jan 2005
The Tsunami and the SA Eagle ad
Given the scale of the horror left in the wake of the Tsunami, you'd think that SA Eagle would place a different ad... but no. 9 Jan 2005
What ever happened to the great Hollard life ads
Remember the "life is too short" campaign? Brilliant 3 Dec 2004
Hyundai tv ads: How to blow your budget.
The latest was for some 4x4 veeachle. A lovely blonde lady takes a bottle of beer and uses her eye socket to pop the top - with the payoff 'really tough' or something to that effect. 1 Dec 2004
Background ad music
Why do ad agencies use the same background music that was used in another ad, while a consumer clearly identifies the music with the product that used the music initially? 23 Nov 2004
Bank advertising
Is it just me or is the latest spate of banking advertisements on radio a perfect reflection of just how condescending banks are? 21 Nov 2004
Dettol Ad
Is it just me or does the current Dettol ad feature a new style family, as in two mums and a their little girl? 18 Nov 2004
Vodafone brand advertising in SA?
Could someone please shed some light on why Vodafone has started advertising in SA over the weekend, is it because of their association with 3G and Blackberry or will Vodacom become Vodafone? 16 Nov 2004
Chanel No 5 Advert
Extravagent waste of time and money - or brilliance? 15 Nov 2004
Post office radio ad
Suggesting that you should get a post box because the post office will probably lose your street delivery mail????? 11 Nov 2004
Sickly sweet family adverts
I would so love to see the end of those sickly sweet family adverts with the false children's laughter in the background, mothers and families sitting at the table telling us how easy it is to prepare and the family with stupid grins all over their faces. 10 Nov 2004
Sasol Rugby Commercial
Not since Costner wandered around in his under-rods in Waterworld has such a continental budget been more wasted. 10 Nov 2004
New Santam SOS campaign
Does the weirdness of Santam's current campaign work for you? 10 Nov 2004
The new Opel Astra ad
Vehicle brands like Golf and Ford were directly mentioned in this ad - is that legal? 8 Nov 2004
City Lodge ad absolutely great!
Don't you just love it! We need to applaud the guys behind it! 8 Nov 2004
British accents in SA radio ads
Why do so many finance sector brands use British accents in their radio ads? 8 Nov 2004
New Nando's Ad
Is it just me, or is the new Nando's Sweet and Sour ad toe-curlingly awful? 2 Nov 2004
Hair-raising shampoo ads
Why is it that every day we are constantly bombarded with shampoo ads for White women but not a single one for Black women? Who is doing all this media planning? 2 Nov 2004
Too much
There is too much focus on a specific township (Soweto) by some of the big brands (e.g Castle) in their ads and this I think alienates other people who do not see themselves targeted by such ads. 2 Nov 2004
Daily Sun billboards
Am I the only one who feels bludgeoned every time I drive past a Daily Sun billboard? 2 Nov 2004
Problems with streetpole ads
Too many streetpole campaigns fall flat because of inappropriate creative. 30 Oct 2004
Is the BMW 1 Series ad up to scratch?
I'm a little disappointed with the new BMW 1 Series ad - is it just me? 28 Oct 2004
Ford Ranger lobola ad
SA advertising continues its proud history of using lobola as an effective creative concept. 21 Oct 2004
MTN / Vodacom summer campaigns
What's going on with MTN and Vodacom? They're both flighting such similar campaigns (Gimme Summer/Yello Summer), but the most fustrating thing is that they're really bad. 21 Oct 2004
Tiscali Billboard
Spotting the cat in bandages and its paw in a sling...my initial (as I was driving by) thought was, it's a animal rescue ad! 20 Oct 2004
Great South African concept
The Great South African series concept was inherently flawed at the outset. But the worst of it is the radio ad (which ran on Sat 16th after the series was cancelled in the media last week). 20 Oct 2004
Loeries fails to break into the news
Didn't see anything mentioned about the Loeries on any news stations that I saw. 5 Oct 2004
