“Opulence? I has it.” So does Grey NY and DirecTV
Ah, the fall of communism. Before that, you only had bolo tie wearing Texans, shades sporting Arabs and Scottish ducks as stereotypes to show ridiculous wealth. Nowadays, you can add “wanna-say-Russian-but-really-any-Slavic-group-will-do ‘businessman’ ” to that list of billionaires. But as this spot for DirecTV by Grey New York suggests, they all have a common trait: they like to save money where they can.
La Comu has Corona Light drinkers dancing in the moonlight
I gotta admit, when this new spot by Miami-based La Comunidad for Corona Light appeared in my mail earlier on, I was already humming the King Harvest one hit wonder, expecting to hear it as the ad’s soundtrack. Instead we’re treated to a lil’ Michael Franti and a beach scene much more livlier than we’re used to seeing in a Corona ad.
