Let’s start with this - I love the Olympics.
Also, this ad tugged on the rusty heartstrings of my cynical heart.
BUT, then the last 5 seconds brought me crashing down to Earth.
Again with the “you pay all that money, you should get your advertising right” theme, the last 5 seconds features a series of (too quick to count) brand names appearing for about half a second and then ends on the P&G logo.
But here’s the thing, based on a straw poll (my roommates) people don’t know who P&G are. They know what Pampers are, what Tide is, but you can’t buy a P&G at Walmart.
So, after watching this expensive, adorable ad in prime Olympic placement, no one on my house knew what it was for. Advertising Fail.
(BTDubs P&G, just put all the logos on the screen for the full last 5 seconds. Should do the trick)
