Buy the World a Coke (my favorite advertisement)

The ad "Buy the World a Coke" can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8H5263jCGg

This is my favorite ad mostly because of its message. It was created in 1971, during the time of the Vietnam War; the people in the video are of all different ethnicities and are singing harmoniously about ideas such as peace and harmony, using Coke as a device for unity and peace.

This ad personally does not tempt me to buy and consume the product because I am not one that drinks soda.


In its time, I must say that this might have been an effective ad.
It is very relevant to the conditions of the time and had many viewers. It is also a very entertaining add that appeals to nearly any human being. The song is also very catchy, making the ad as a whole very memorable.

  3. I loved this commercial when I was a kid but I think I am remembering the Christmas version. Either way this song is very memorable and this commercial inspires a really good feeling in the viewer. People will associate this warm and fuzzy feeling with the brand. I agree this is special because it appeals to everyone. I think this is a very good commercial. Nice choice.

  4. Jordan,
    For the assignment, you had to embed the video into your blog, so we can play it from your page.
