   expected more out of bbdo. but this is cool. instructional things always are eye catching. i will even forgive the art director for using the red gradient as a background.

   i agree. this is all they have? reversing the need, mundane happenings as opposed to winning the SuperBowl, isn’t breaking new ground. pretty sure i did this in Ad School.

   Haha… yulia, I thought the exact thing when I first saw the ad. Not inspirational… why would I buy an energy bar that advertises to moms and Prius owners?? No offense, but that is the last demographic that the consumer considering buying an energy drink/bar would be found in. Even if an average Joe is looking for an energy bar, why would they buy one that’s basically advertised as “for people who don’t really need an energy bar”?

   It seems it’s making fun of the product more than selling it… “bargain shoppers eat it”

   Advertising to people who would not normally buy your product.

   What were they thinking?

   I like it, even the red gradient.
