Watching ads is my favorite pastime. In fact, these are better than any of the stupid soaps. Few ads are beautiful, few are sensible and few are utter funny..
And there are times, I admire the creativity of the ad makers too.
Esp. Vodafone - They have been always the top scorers for their wonderful themes. First they came up with the beautiful pugs in their ad, with a catch line, where ever you go, our network follows (The pugs became celebrity after those ads :D ) and now they have "happy to help" and the famous Zoozoos. (there is absolutely no post production changes for zoozoo ads).. Hats off to your creativity, guys.. u rock!!
Airtel, with regard to ads, they never came any way near to their close competitor Vodafone. The only wonderful ad, they ever created is "Special 5 friends". I loved the whole series. And that their top 1. There are other "Connecting people" or specific handsets ad, which we forget easily after sometime. :(
When SBI mutual funds were major earners in the market, they not only had the good investment bankers with them, they also had a very good ad makers team with them. Their ad in which they show how the other funds take away major share of your money while you withdraw. (http://videosostav.ru/video/e8933393ad650c7a25fd3c99c87d6d07/)
There are lot more to mention here.. and the list would never end.
Hey, let me change from the ad concepts to the highly paid models. But, are they really loyal to the brands they embassador??
Here is a list of such well known people, who moved on from one brand to other, in the same product line...It's all about money, honey!!
1. Sharukh – Mayur Suitings to Belmonte (you obv rem: Sharukh Mayur Khan!!)
2. Kareena – Lux to vivel
3. Rani – Pepsi to Fanta
4. Aamir & Aishwarya – Pepsi to coke (do you remember, aish telling aamir "Hi, I'm Sanjana".. very old pepsi ad)
5. Aishwarya – Lakme to L’oreal (The Lakme ad made Aishwarya a household name, even before she was Ms. World and also gave an edge to her, over other competitors in the Ms.India contest..)
6. Aishwarya – Titan to Longines
Woow.. Well, it looks like Aishwarya is one person with "Move On" mantra... Shouldn't she be taken to "Fastrack" watches ad!! :D :P

Hey Anonymous!!
Thanks for the comment,,

She suits the theme,,
Like Jaggesh is apt for Malabar Gold ad (with his 20 rings & heavy gold chains) ;)
Very funny to go thru all this post...
But now a days such creative and thought provoking adds and such directors are very rare.
There was a time when i used to madly and religiously watch all the adds but now very rarely we get to see such quality adds.
:) thats true!! few ad makers don't sense at all...

the moment the boys opens up the sleeves and wear tie,, all the sudden the shirt is flashy white.. how come!! :D
