So many ads now-a-days use humor to cut through the clutter, and I think this Colgate ad did a good job of cutting through other hard-sell ads of its kind. It still has the long article that one would have to read in order to get the full effect of the advertisement, but I think most who flip through the pages of wherever this print ad was would stop to think, "what?" and then have to investigate.Mike & Sarah Buitronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06304474409121787075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726539409190697283.post-52200740745388511402008-07-22T16:14:00.000-05:002008-07-22T16:14:00.000-05:00I think this ad goes well with the times.
