Tweets in 2012 when the field lights went out the tag line was you can dunk [Oreo cookies into milk] in the dark, and it didnt cost them any air time. Many commercials display a Twitter hashtag so that consumers can contact the company directly and receive additional information. Ted reviews ads with three broad criteria: 1) Branding, Strategy, Mission 2) Relativity, Applicability, and Fit 3) Creativity. Its also important to note how the commercial moves a consumer to buy the product or service. Ted thought the commercials overall were a bit better than in 2012, but the spread in quality and effectiveness seemed broader. A brief summary of his ratings are: Best! . . . . Budweiser Clydesdalespeople look forward to this series, and they provide huge brand awareness. . . . . God made a Farmer, by Dodge Trucks. This ad was aimed squarely at taking market share from Chevrolet, and achieved a 3% monthly sales increase, which was phenomenal. Montanastained shirt, by Tide soap. A subtle message by Proctor & Gamble, a very conservative advertiser. Worst! . . . .Bud Black Crown and Becks Sapphire beers competing, strange messages from the same beer company. . . .Calvin Klein mens underwear, m odeled by guys way more fit than their customers . . . . Mio sports drink, with a poorly used celebrity and fuzzy message. . . . GoDaddy, worse than last year, with model and nerd making out, and consistently unclear about what they are selling. Ted has agreed to provide a similar program to us next year. President Frank gave Ted a certificate that we have made a th $25 loan through KIVA to Irina in El Salvador, our 37 such investment this year.
