interesting thought! excellent production.
BBDO NY strikes again. Great stuff.
i really don't like it.
If this film were about shoes, it will be funny otherwise not. sorry...
... one more who thought it would be a shoe ad. and yes, i agree: it would be much better if it was for shoes.
You think it's about shoes because you see so little of her legs. They should have made it a mini-skirt.
i guess that's where this idea started. but then the client said "yeah, but research shows, 15,6 % of our customers are catholic and could feel bothered." then the cd said ... blablabla you see where it ended.
I don't like it. it is not sexy, it is not funny enough, and the message alone is to weak
if you guys know what venus is about. seeing the title i knew what it is for.
great casting.
LETDOWN
love it!
Old.
Lindo Spot, pero le falta ese "punch" final, esa sensacion de "Ohhhh", yo tambien pense que era un comercial de zapatos.

Those waiting for a punch line should watch beer commercials. Nothing against beer commercials or those that like the punch line (I personally like both). In my opinion, that wouldn't work for this target audience. It is about instilling emotion and creating a lasting impression. I think the blend of images and music, which are both exquisite, accomplish that. Going over the top by making the skirt too short would have symolized that women who use Venus can become sex objects. As it is, the ad is telling us that women who use Venus can become a little more sexy. And trust me, this is a huge difference.
