You’re This Close to Winning


Big thanks to one of my bestest pals, West Coast D, for sending me this spot. Two thumbs up for a fun, inventive spot that speaks to a wide audience… here’s to seeing more of this approach in 2008!

It’s Better When You Win It

I was just watching Law & Order SVU, a variety of Law & Order that I rarely watch, (when did Jack McCoy become DA?) and saw this Ebay commercial. It’s really more of a dog racing reference, but pretty funny nonetheless.

It’s hard to see in this version but in the last scene there’s a nice horse plate on the upper right hand corner of the wall… shop victoriously!

It IS Trevor Denman!

I saw the Sprint Ad I mentioned a few days ago again last night. Two people are sitting sitting in a coffee shop holding PDAs. One asks the other who their provider is… one has Sprint, the other Cingular.

At the same time they go to access the internet… the bell sounds and you hear the sound of gate opening. Poof, Trevor Denman pops in behind them… “And they’re off!”. No “full of run” comment but great nonetheless!

I just looked on YouTube for it with no luck, I’ll post it here once I find it.

Announcing a Sprint… Kind of

Last week I noticed a Sprint Wireless ad that featured a track announcer narrating a phone call as if it was race (or something like that). It sounded like Trevor Denman (one of my favs… I LOVE it when he says “and he’s FULL OF RUN!!”).

I’ve only seen it once and haven’t been able to dig it up via google or Sprint’s site. Is there a racing meme in advertising? (sorry, I’m not an academic, I swear!). I think it’s interesting given the Claratin ad with the Jockey.
