Erectile Dysfunction: Not a Joke, but the Sidena Ad? Hilarious! 😆 🤣 Let’s talk about erectile dysfunction (ED). It’s a serious issue affecting millions of men and their relationships. It’s not something to laugh at—but sometimes humor can break the ice, and Sidena nailed it with their new ad! From the awkwardly relatable faces of the actors, to the wife’s over-the-top “finally!” expression at the end, this ad had us in stitches. And let’s not forget the pièce de résistance: the box of tablets rising triumphantly with the caption, “Things are looking up!” ⬆️ Pure genius. 🤣 It’s a perfect example of how to handle a sensitive topic with clever humor while keeping the message clear. Sidena: helping men take charge of their health—and making us laugh along the way. #ErectileDysfunction #SidenaAd #ThingsAreLookingUp #SeriousTopic #Brillianthumour #cleverad #CleverMarketing

🚨 PART 3: STILL HIDING? COME OUT ALREADY! 🤦♂️✨ (This is your last warning before we start using megaphones!) --- 🤣 1. B-Roll Won’t Make You Go Viral—Your Face Will Let’s be real: Nobody ever said, “Wow, did you see that stock footage of a sunset? Legendary!” But your funny face mid-sneeze or that spicy rant? VIRAL. 💥💃 --- 🎯 2. B-Roll Can’t Tell Your Story (Because It’s Not You!) Using too much b-roll is like showing up to a party and sending someone else to talk for you. Awkward. 😬 Your story is YOURS—own it, share it, and let people see you. --- 🙃 3. B-Roll Can’t Make Awkward Eye Contact Let’s face it: your awkward pause or “did-I-really-just-say-that?” moments are PURE GOLD.✨ B-roll is too polished to be real, but YOU? You’re human—and humans are magnetic. (Even if we’re a little cringy sometimes. 😏) --- 🎥 Final Thoughts: At this point, if you’re still overloading on b-roll, we’re sending a search party to find your face. Show up, be yourself, and let your audience fall in love with YOU! ❤️ ps: the picture is the set of a series I'm working as a dop on. Just finished shooting for the day.

I think this Head & Shoulders ad is incredible, and likely wildly effective, and I probably should've written something about it ages ago. But it just came on during the football, so here goes: - It's empathetic, built around the very neat insight that "having" dandruff can't be embarrassing if do something about it. Therefore, the product isn't "for people with dandruff", because as soon as you use it, that's not you. - It's entertaining, leaning into cinema tropes in a silly way that earns and keeps attention. - It's memorable, with a core line that contains the main product keyword as a recall trigger. - It ends with a catchy AF musical number that further embeds the core line and doesn't overstay its welcome. Not the coolest category, not the most earth-shattering creative, but utterly brilliant. And if I had dandruff (I don't...), I know what product would come to mind next time it irritated me. #advertising #insight #strategy #effectiveness

I’m just about repulsed by all the regurgitated tripe posted online nowadays. There’s a good chance you feel the same. You scroll your feed and see the same templates posts about “scaling 6 figure agencies” and “$10k monthly retainers”. Everyone with a keyboard is preaching “tell your STORY!” and it’s some half-baked anecdote about a bad day at work. You think “well, everyone is posting like this so it MUST be working”. But inside, the very fibers of your being are writhing in the pain of being disingenuous as all hell. We’ve all got opinions, and experiences, and perspectives that make us refreshingly unique. But we dumb it down to the lowest common denominator because that’s what we’re all drowning in online. Our stories are important, but the way we tell them needs to be unique to us. When we know who we actually care about talking to, it’s easier to know which parts of our stories we need to tell, and how, to make an actual connection. We can take a step out of the echo chamber, and leave behind the plug and play systems, for what actually FEELS right to us. Because what feels right to us, probably feels right to the people we actually want to speak to anyway. #burnyourbusinesscard
