I don't understand this ad. Is this selling LG phones or a public message?

Totally agree. It's some sort of weird piggy back onto a fake 'cause' that ends up not selling phones.

Well, if you notice...it's not about selling cellphones at all, not even close. It's a social awareness campaign about cyber bullying that actually happens to teens.
If that's the case, then this missed the mark. Cyber bullying is a pretty important cause, but this campaign's cleverness gets in the way of that message. Not saying it has to be a "serious" execution, but these spots really are too in love with themselves to be effective. IMHO.
It's good to see Y&R actually get something out the door, though ;)

I love it's message and how it was said.
I dont think this is suppose to sell phones. Just an AD to add fragrance to LG, being morally concerned and all that
Stop Mediocrity. Start Creativity.
There are two kinds of people in the world; people who like mustangs (cool people) and people who like camaros (idiots).
I can see how this shtick worked for skittles but shit, why repeat your stunt, scott&ian?
