Every morning I scour the web and look at the latest ads (in any medium) from around the non-US world. Then I post for you my Ad of the Day. Some days it will be awesome, some days you might not like it. But it’s the Ad of the Day!
Today’s pick:
- Agency: Imaxe
- Location: La Coruña, Spain
- Client: Estrella Galicia (beer)
- Name: “Exaggeratedly good”
Why I like it: I think the positioning/claim is really fun, opening itself up to so many possibilities to do something interesting. The ad is over the over-the-top silly, but the claim gives it permission to be exactly that. Executed well (with nice casting, good action – check out the people gasping in horror even in the background – and a quirky retro melodramatic soundtrack), it just…works. It’s not going to win an Oscar, but it stuck in my mind, and I like the notion of “exaggeratedly good” as applied to a beer. Nice work from an unusual location in Spain, as far as ad agencies go. Salud!
