sorry guys, didn't do much for me :doubt:
I don't care that it is a Honda ad, just that it is a cool concept.

Odd comercial but kinda cool what those people did for the sound effects:clap:
Honda has another commercial I kinda dig....forget what the actual thing is called but it's the domino effect where one thing triggers another and that triggers something else....yadda yadda end result is a Honduh gets all bolted together. Pretty cool stuff!

At least Honda is trying to make commercials that might actually make you think a product is cool. When's the last time you saw anything inspiring from a domestic maker? (and don't say the Vette ad cause that wasn't all that)
I can't wait for the day when I see DC, Ford or GM make a commercial that really gets me going. (In the case of GM, I guess they first have to make a CAR that's worth a second look)

As someone who looks at marketing campaigns on occassion, this one realy does a good job.
You already know that Honda makes cars. So, this ad is designed to give you an idea of what the experience of owning and driving one is all about.
They do it in an entertaining way that keeps the attention of just about anyone - even those with no interest in cars.
They're building brand awareness rather than trying to sell you a car - or at least any specific car.
Why do I look at ad campaigns? Because the campaigns put together for the company that I work for usually suck. We're trying to do the brand awareness thing too. The problem is that no one knows what we sell. So the net effect is: "yeah, nice story but I don't know what you have for me or my business..*turns page/changes channel* "
Sorry to hijack this but I'd like to try a bit of an experiment:
Without using Google, tell me what Nortel sells.
If you haven't heard of Nortel, say so. (That's another sore point.)
And please, no stock or accounting jokes. I've heard them all.

Wow! That response is actually surprising. Most wouldn't say it that way.
but I have to ask, when you say switches, what kind of switches are you referring to?

okay, that's what I suspected. "Phone switches"
That's our heritage.
Everyone else: pretend you didn't read these posts and tell me what Nortel means to you.
Trust me: this is more about ad campaigns than it is about my work (but I'll be talking about this with my colleagues. Just because this is something that pisses me off on a daily basis.)

That answer is as valuable to me as if you knew everything about Nortel.
Seriously.
When I get some more responses, I'm going to ask another question and that will be the tell all with regards to our marketing.

Business phones. Got one on my desk right now. I've installed/programmed Avaya/Lucent systems, and the Nortels seem to be comparable. The one Panasonic sytem I tried to work on sucked.
Walked into an Applebee's one night, no one at the door, waited a coupla minutes, picked up the Nortel, hit feature 60 and said, "Would a manager please come to the main entrance." The response was humorous (to me anyway).
