Advertisement Analysis: Bad 9/15 [Snickers]

| No comment

Cons:

  • The link between the copywriting and the picture is a little abstract.
  • Seeing this makes me want to turn my head upside down and when I do, I'm confused. The model looks weird upside down and interestingly, she seems to be smiling. But when you view the ad upside down, she's frowning. Is there a reason behind that?
  • I don't understand what "not you" has to do with the model being upside down. Is having a bad day or feeling grouchy associated with being upside down?

Pros:

  • It looks interesting enough to arouse the viewer's curiosity
  • I think the copywriting is effective as it conveys that eating Snickers will take away your hunger

Overall:

It is an interesting ad, just a little confusing. It does send a clear and consistent message but the implementation of it is hard to understand. I saw a TV ad from the same campaign which portrayed a drummer as a irritable grandma when he was hungry and back to his normal self again after eating Snickers. I thought that was pretty smart and effective.
