O brilhante comercial de 4 minutos da Pantene

Sabe aquele ditado: “O que é bom dura pouco?” Pois bem, ele se aplica perfeitamente a esse emocionante comercial, ou melhor, curta metragem que a Pantene veiculou na Tailândia. Sim, Tailândia! A publicidade (premiadíssima) deste país asiático tem o costume de produzir comerciais mais longos ( de mais ou menos 2 ou 3 minutos), sem medo de fazer o telespectador perder o foco. Eles tanto confiam em sua criatividade cativante, que este último comercial para a Pantene dura, nada mais nada menos que 4 minutos. Independente dos gastos de mídia, o que vale aqui é a forma como a publicidade pode contar uma história, e trazer o telespectador para dentro do conteúdo.
Sem mais blá blá blá, quero que você assista a este extraordinário e brilhante comercial-curta-metragem (com legenda em inglês), e depois me diga o que achou.

‘Idol’ Finale Wins Wednesday Night


MINNAEPOLIS (AdAge.com) — Fox easily won the night with the season finale of "American Idol." Indeed, the only ratings suspense wasn't whether Fox would win but how much lower the finale rating would be compared with last year's. At least in the ad-centric 18-to-49 demographic, it was 12% off, as "Idol" belted out a 10.0/28 rating and share for the two-hour finale. While "Idol" declined to finale and spring series lows in its eighth iteration, Fox data indicate that for the full season, "Idol" enjoyed its widest gap yet over TV's No. 2 ranked show, ABC's "Desperate Housewives," with an overall 72% advantage.
