A marketing team’s job seems like it must get harder and harder as the years go by. Most people are being constantly bombarded with ads, posters, banners, videos, and slogans, to such a degree that “ad blindness” is becoming a measurable phenomenon. So when an ad actually makes you stop and look, it’s a sign that someone knew what they were doing. 

The “Brilliant Advertisements” Instagram page shares marketing campaigns that stand head-and-shoulders above the rest. So guard your wallet, get comfortable as you scroll through, and be sure to upvote your favorites.

Ohhh, okay. The girls are holding phones to take pictures to bully her. I was confused and thought they were holding syringes and didn't know how that would be cyber bullying.

    Not every brilliant marketing campaign is an ad. Some brands have realized that just attaching their name to something people are paying attention to can bring recognition and associations. For example, Dove’s “real beauty” campaign wasn’t exactly promoting the company's products, rather, it was simply research on women’s self-perceptions of beauty. 

    One of its most famous takeaways was the startling discovery that “only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful.” Given that you probably see more than a dozen beautiful women while strolling around any city center for less than an hour, the study highlighted the havoc unrealistic beauty standards had caused for female mental health.

    So people and media outlets were discussing and sharing a study that tactically included Dove’s branding and logo and linked to their official website. This way, Dove escaped the trap of “ad blindness” by using (important) research as a sort of Trojan horse. In a sense, this sort of marketing is perhaps a best-case scenario, as a company spends its resources to make something useful for all of us.

    There is a sort of arms race going on, as marketers are becoming increasingly aware that more and more of us have learned to tune out most advertisements. Posters and billboards hardly raise an eye and most of us simply do something else when an unskippable video ad plays. Interestingly, even before 2000, researchers had noticed that many people already had “banner blindness.”

    I made a fake video commercial for a project once and we had a gladiator with a gruesome wound (yes, ketchup!) and a close up revealed he had used a “Barney” Bandaid. The little purple strip inadequately covered the blood and gore. “If you’ve got a wound like I do, do like I do. Barney bandaids. When it REALLY hurts.” Not great but it got a laugh.

    Further studies into the topic have found that a staggering 93% of ads go unviewed even when directly in front of the user. Add in the prevalence of ad blockers and similar technology and one begins to wonder if anyone has actually ever viewed an internet ad. This, unfortunately, is probably the reason so many banner ads are aggressive, loud, and deceitful, as they need every trick in the book to get you to look for more than a second.

    Interestingly, this number will likely be even lower on sites that you frequent. Once you are familiar with a digital “environment,” your eyes simply know where to look and what to ignore. In other words, your brain collaborates with your eyes to make a deeply effective form of ad blocker. Somewhat nice to know that multimillion-dollar campaigns can be disrupted by your brain on autopilot.

    Despite copious research and the ability to see, in real-time, what generates clicks or not, some companies still seem to think it’s acceptable to run terrible, annoying, and ineffective ads. Studies have shown that using specific calls to action, like “click here” or “sign up now” has practically no effect on the user's actions.

    The fact that some people genuinely thought that bp would censor this shows how hard hitting the ad is because this is a real thing we see and come to expect. There's no difference between women kissing and a straight couple kissing but some people just can't get that yet.

    In the same way that a brilliant ad can make a pretty regular company stand out, a terrible ad can tear down its reputation independent of how we feel about its products. There is no shortage of ads so annoying that many of us promise ourselves that we will simply never use these products out of spite. Research shows that annoying or distracting ads actually generate negative emotions in the average user.

    Cyclists must work to be SEEN by drivers. Please don't complain that a driver did not treat you right if you insist on wearing black at night and have no lights on your bike! This is pretty common in parts of the US where bike lights seem to be virtually unknown. No reflectors are NOT enough.

    To those that complain of cyclists, how many know your state laws? Probably only a very small amount. How many know that without Cyclists, America would not have paved streets. In Florida, if the lane, not road, is less that 14ft, cyclists is primary lane owner. Again, in Florida, a cyclist has some rights and obligations as non human powered traveler, by LAW. FSL 316.083 and 316.2065 Know the laws more than your opinions. If a truck runs over a mini cooper because it was too slow or small, would that be acceptable?

    Alot of them are jerks - the bicyclists I mean. They act like they are better than drivers or something. It might be a good idea to bring this to their attention so they can be more careful on the roads - share the road guys and be considerate of everyone.

    Nearly every one of the accusations against cyclists can be applied to motorists. However motorists are in the majority backed up by thousands of pounds of death-metal and in car centric cultures: might makes right. The plate and insurance on your car does nothing to prevent car crashes. Riding two abreast on bikes is universally permitted. If a cyclist is passed by a trucker within inches they probably will get yelled at. As a cyclist I am equally disturbed by wrong-way bikers, those who won't utilize the roads and bikeways lawfully and the new threat of 28 mph e-bikers on the sidewalks. A cyclist is a blip on the screen of passing motorists while cyclists are surrounded by distracted travelers convinced of their skills to simultaneously text, drink coffee and play with their sound systems. If drivers tuned into the absolute disparity between the two lawful transportation modes they might be astounded at the similarities and differences.

    It will kill you straight away.

    Particularly in online advertising, the user's preconceptions about the brand are possibly the most important part. Because online ads are more intrusive than traditional ads, which we tend to think of as simply part of any inhabited area’s decor, they create stronger emotions. So seeing the ad of a brand we like, just reminds us that it exists, while the inverse is just as true

    Of course, this does all create fertile ground for smart and creative advertisers. Most of us could probably think up a bog-standard ad in our heads right now, so a more “out-there” ad might actually catch our eye. Similarly, as the average ad now is ignored and disregarded, anything that does appear interesting to us is likely to hold our attention for longer.

    This is 1960’s Volkswagen advertising that a copywriting teacher used as an example of “simple but effective”. It was put out in a climate of image and copy-packed ads.

    You have no idea what you are talking about. Millennials are pushing (or over) 40. Beetle production ended in 2003. Millennials are halfway thru their mortgages and worrying about heart problems. Many would know what was wrong with this picture.

    We had a 1952 VW Beetle when I was growing up. The number of times we’d be getting petrol and the attendant would ask if we needed the water checked…no…
