Although this doesn't have anything to do with voiceover, I thought it was a good example of innovative thinking in advertising.

It amazes me to no end where you will find ads these days. But sometimes they don't know when to stop. You may recall in the 80s Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No to Drugs" campaign. Well, while minding my own business, doing my business, I look down at the urinal cake and there I saw a cute little reminder to "Say No to Drugs." I maybe wrong, but I don't think it adds credibility to your message while someone is urinating on it. |

"This electrical outlet is brought to you by______"
Kinda funny!
I like it though-- It would make me appreciate the sponsor.
My husband would hate it.
He's the kind of guy who cut down billboards in the '60s. _________________ DBCooperVO.com

It certainly gives new meaning to the term "plug".
I don't know. I think it's approaching "the line". I think ads on school busses and police cars is way over the line. We see enough advertising as is right now.
Voiceover, never enough. Print ads, too much. |
