Progressive advertising

I rarely have much good to say about McDonald's, but they do some really good commercials in France, perhaps because there is no mention of the food.

Is anybody else doing good commercials that promote something other than their product?



Renault is also doing some good commercials -- here is some granddaughter/grandmother bonding. "You like strawberries now?"

The French McDonalds ad received a lot of press in the US. The oil spill probably kept it from being a lightening rod.

I thought the Renault ad was cute. Unless, of course, it was my mother and daughter in that car. :D :P

My current perceptions on "feel good" advertising are washed in cynicism as i'm currently reading the old Naomi Klein book "No Logo".

Well obviously, but it's better than the "buy! buy! buy! new & improved!" in-your-face crap.

I generally hate insurance companies, but the commercials for CNP are always stunning, showing different eras, generations, times of life, and they really make you wish that a reputable insurance company could be your partner in life.

They use the same music every time, so it makes anybody in France think of the insurance company instantly.

Here are 5 of the commercials combined into one video:

This isn't exactly "progressive" but I think it is quite clever when you can advertise two products at the same time. Burger King pulled out of France in 1997, but people have not forgotten it...

Maybe he was just picky. Before he got the glasses, he didn't know whether the girl was cute or not.

Not really progressive but a joy to watch.

I think the images of this commercial are exceptional, but it is a real shame that it is for a completely traditional bank. "Team spirit" my ass!

This commercial is constantly shown on the "video bloopers" shows in France although of course it is not a blooper at all, just a commercial from the incredible Dutch.

After a year or so of Nicole Kidman, Schweppes in France is now selling us their sodas with Uma Thurman.

Thank you for those, Kerouac. I was wondering: water? very shallow water? It's fine to see someone realize a vision like that, with a lot of help.

Yes, I thought it was water, too, until I saw how it was filmed.

For the last year or so, Opel has been doing its French commercials in German, to underline the wonderful quality of German products. It is actually a very good angle.

Here is one of many:



However, Renault has now riposted with its own commercial in "German"!

Delighful commercial! I wonder if they are putting on the sesame seeds at all their outlets... I'd like to go over and give their oven a clean ;)

Cartier clearly spared no expense for its new advertising film. This one is being shown in the cinemas at the moment.
