I used to hate commercials. I always felt they strategically disrupted my television viewing. I was so thrilled when DVR’s came on the scene because I could just skip them. But as I’ve become more mature (and patient), I find myself really attracted to some.
My current favorite is the eSurance TV spot with the elderly woman who’s posting all of her photos to the wall in her living room. When she goes on to explain time saved on buying insurance, one of her friends protests, gets literally “unfriended.” Being so directly involved with social media, I can relate to this and see the humor in it. Plus, I think we all know a “Beatrice.”
Check it out here. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
All done? Good.
I wish we did more commercials. I think it’s a fun opportunity to creatively sell a particular feature of one of our products.
I can only imagine what type of ad we’d do to highlight the ability to download your entire social media life on Facebook with our Backup Plus drive.
Or something to showcase the speed and power of our Laptop SSHD drives.
I’d really be curious to know how we’d create an ad for our Backup Plus Fast drive – would we talk about how it’s the ideal drive for photographers on the go or would we instead highlight being the only portable 4TB drive on the market?
There are so many possibilities.
Although, I guess it’s pretty easy when you make a product for every situation, every possible use case, every type of person whether it’s a creative professional, a network administrator or even a digital ratpack. After all, we are Seagate – and We are Everywhere.
