*apologize before hand if this thread does not belong in this forum.

i say: tv ads. which one(s) pop into ur head?

for me, the answer is always nike. Their ad program is clearly one of the best, and they generally spend the most on it probably. But, its like their ads really are works of art. The rythm ads with basketball players tricking, the soccer cage matches, the guy chasign the chicken with the french announcer...just pure genius, i can almost play them all over in my head. for other companies, i remember ads, but they're more recently made ones, and i have to think about it to remember a good/decent one.

i was also wondering if nike has had an effect on my purchasing, and how much that effect is. i always generally buy nike bball sneaks, but i generally look for the ones that look pleasing to my eye, and i always limit myself to a price range. No way i'm spendign $200 for a pair of sneaks. I usually spend about $60-70 every year and a half for new sneaks (only cause they wear out by then, i put them through heavy use, and i always put it off until the last minute, my current ones are ripping out the back).

so i suppose its possibly i've been subconciously affected by the ads, and i find nikes aesthetically pleasing because their brand itself has been associated with this feeling of superiority and just plain...coolness. I certainly hope i'm nto that much of a blind consumer.

I also can't think of another brand rite now that the ads might even have hadt hat much of an effect on me. Fast food ads dont work cause i generally dont eat there ever, and if i do, i go to them randomly based on how close they are, or even the taste (Thank god for in & out, and del taco). Clothing as well, i usually jsut get my clothes on sale, so i dont really shop at any particular place. and i dont really buy much of anithing else.

thoughts on any other ad campaigns that u think might have affected u? i think the mastercard "priceless" campaign is qutie good and long-standing, but seriously, its been overused everywhere, even online, and who goes and gets a master card from that? i use visa.
