Sem surpresas, Budweiser mais uma vez tem o comercial favorito do Super Bowl

bud

Há alguns dias, quando a gente publicou por aqui Lost Dog, o principal comercial da Budweiser para o Super Bowl 49, a gente já tinha pelo menos uma certeza: de que a boa e velha fórmula de sucesso utilizada em campanhas anteriores iria, mais uma vez, levar a marca ao topo do USA Today AdMeter. A confirmação não demorou, e sem surpresas, a história do filhotinho perdido que consegue voltar para casa com a ajuda dos cavalos Clydesdale prevaleceu no gosto do público.

Que é uma produção respeitável, é indiscutível. Mas do ponto de vista criativo, é mais do mesmo. É uma marca escolhendo o caminho mais fácil, em vez de se arriscar a trazer algo novo, ainda que isso signifique causar desconforto nas pessoas. Aliás, a Budweiser não foi a única que escolheu jogar com segurança.

Marcas como Always, Dove Men e Dodge fizeram o mesmo, apostando em versões editadas de campanhas antigas, mas de grande sucesso. Abaixo, o top 10 do AdMeter 2015 e as médias finais alcançadas por eles:

1. Budweiser – Lost Dog – 8.1

2. Always – Like a Girl – 7.1

3. Fiat – Blue Pill – 6.9

4. Microsoft – Braylon – 6.7

5. Doritos – Middle Seat – 6.7

6. Dodge – Wisdom – 6.64

7. Toyota – My Bold Dad – 6.59

8. Coca-Cola – Make it Happy – 6.50

9. Nissan – With Dad – 6.47

10. Doritos – When Pigs Fly – 6.47

5. Machine Zone – Game of War – 3.90
