Good Ad/Bad Ad: What is iPad?

This ad is great. I watched it about 20 times critiquing it, trying to find something wrong and I couldn’t. This ad is far more informative than the previous iPad ad. What I really loved most was the way Apple positioned the question, “What is iPad”? From there they (Apple) communicated all the benefits and features of the product in an easy, straight-forward fashion. Again, stellar job Apple!

*Now when I say “Good Ad”, I mean one that accurately reflects the brand (Apple) and the product (iPad). A “Bad Ad” obviously is one that DOES NOT accurately reflect the brand and the product.*

What do you think Good Ad or Bad Ad?

    yeah – I agree.. that's a good Ad! I'm kinda partial to Mac as it is, but all biased opinions aside, that was the coolest advertisement I think I've ever seen.

  2. Barry Garner says:

    I think that is a great ad, but Apple is a powerhouse.

  3. Chris says:

    This add is leaps and bounds from the first one. I felt more let in as a non Apple user. It connects the User aspect of the pitch to the endless possibilities of the product. Something I think they left out in their first add. Your dead on about the way Apple positioned the question, “What is iPad”? It all worked in this ad. Seamless integration of product and application. From a visual stand point they made all the right changes. If you refer back to the post I made on the original ad you'll see everything I suggested they change WAS changed in this ad. This is not just a good ad this is a great ad.

    I think it is a great ad. I t showed me very clearly a lot of the benefits for this toy and made to very appealing. It certainly spoke to my desire.
    I love the simple manner with which you are building your blog. Genius way to piggy back on existing campaigns.

    Hi Dewane,
    I like the ad. I am biased, my partner just bought an ipad and is smitten with the functions, ease of use, light weight etc.
    Thanks for the review

  1. [...] Dewane Mutunga has a whole series of critic reviews of the effectiveness of various video ads. that are worth reading. He is an integrated marketing and brand strategist and is using these critiques to help educate. From what I see this serves a few purposes. It showcases his mind and critical thought to potential customers. It also sublimely piggy backs on expensive top brand campaigns providing great SEO and traffic to his site.  He has loaded a couple of Apple’s best iPad videos. Here is one he posted that Apple made for their iPad launch that was obviously targeted to those who are already Apple fans. [...]
