The Foundation for a Better Life
Posted by: | CommentsThe Foundation for a Better Life has tons of billboards and print ads like this and I think its very cool. As someone who drives a lot, I always find myself staring at these billboards longer than I should whilst driving. I think that when it comes to virtuous advertising, the FFBL has a great mission in inspiring people to be proactive in their own lives. There are many other examples of this stuff on their website values.com. There is a link to connect with them on facebook and on twitter and they have a lot of cool information and examples of their ads.
Dove Men
Posted by: | CommentsDove has been greatly praised for their advertising featuring average, fuller figured women. Now they have moved on to a men’s campaign, hoping for the same success.
This particular ad is the second in the series, following up the first ever Men’s Care product line by Dove which was advertised during the Superbowl. Although I like both, I particularly like the second ad. Rarely can you find an ad for men’s shower gel that isn’t over the top raunchy (did anyone say Axe?)
However, Dove took a different approach by showing a little girl with her father at both the beginning and end of the ad which I really liked. Rather than showing a women clinging to her man after he uses the ’sexual’ body wash, Dove replaced the stick thing woman with a daughter figure which I thought was a really good move.
In addition to this Dove also is able to get across all of the product attributes that they were trying to convey. All in all, I think a really well done ad.

The Second Ad (my favorite)
Perception is reality… for some
Posted by: | CommentsEating disorders are perplexing to everyone. Even experts do not fully understand it, much less the friends and family of those with these diseases. This ad hopefully sheds some light on what sufferers experience… not just to those who stand by helplessly as they watch their loved ones wither away, but to the sufferers themselves.
