"(standard super bowl ads tend to be gimmicky, celebrity cameo driven, going for a laugh etc)" - interesting that one of their competitors, who happens to be growing much faster at the moment, had one of those "gimmicky, celebrity driven" ads. Said competitor, FTX, also had much more of a positive response to their ad and, as far as I could tell, had far, far more of a response on social media to their ad. (I will admit, a not insignificant part of said response was due to their Twitter giveaway.)
- paulpauper 5y agothe ftx ad was actually good . I still have no desire to use ftx but the ad was good.
- listenallyall 5y agoFtx's ad is, on it's surface, funny. But it was terrible execution and wrong spokesperson. The enduring vision is Larry David shaking his head and saying nope. Adding a tag line "don't be like Larry" is meaningless, images stick with people. Further, the FTX branding is entirely forgettable. Subconsciously, people agree with "Larry David" the character 99% of the time -- that's the core of his humor, how stupid all these little polite conventions are, how hypocritical people tend to be. Larry just is the guy willing to say it out loud. People watch his show because they DO want to be like Larry. And if you don't like "Larry David", the real Larry David produced two of the most successful tv shows of all time and is rich beyond belief. Even in the ad he's the one in the big office behind a desk making important decisions, not the dweeb showing him a phone app.
