Emmy Noms are IN

I love the Emmy's. It feels like my best friends are the ones getting the awards. At the Oscars, it's all the popular kids.

Aside from the actors, hosts, and T.V. shows winning awards- everyone's favorite commercials are also up for the big prize. So I present to you, the emmy nominated commercials, videos and all. =)

Uh Oh. Coca-Cola is set for World Domination

I just heard the news that Pepsi is no longer the number 2 soft drink in the world. It has been over taken by Diet Coke!

According to the WSJ, Pepsi's marketing is to blame and I agree. In the 2010 Superbowl they opted not to have a commercial in order to focus on the Pepsi Re-fresh project. They took a similar approach 2011 and are now possibly seeing the effects. Or maybe the Super Bowl has nothing to do with it - they did have a few ads, but they were for their Pepsi MAX product line.

I wonder if this means we're going back to Genertaion NEXT. Remember when Britney Spears sang the catchy Pepsi tune during a Super Bowl commercial? Yeah. I like those days too. 

You can read all the details on the WSJ article here.

Doritos declared Superbowl Ad winner!

In an article from Brandweek, the Superbowl ad's are ranked according to ad tracker Ace Metrix.

Their top 6 are as follows:

1. Doritos' "Pug Attack"
2. Pepsi Max "Love Hurts"
3. Doritos' "House Sitting"
4. Pepsi Max "Torpedo Cooler"
5. Bridgestone Tire
6. Snickers with Richard Lewis and Roseanne Bar

I am surprised the Darth Vader ad didn't make it further up with list- it is ranked 8th. Apparently, the "Pug Attack" ad was very appealing to children. Maybe the Darth Vader ad just didn't appeal to a wide enough variety of people?

And the winner of Super Bowl XLV is...

Volkswagen! They had the best commercials and the best strategy. They actually released the Star Wars themed ad on-line the week before it aired. To date, it has 15 million views on You tube! Compare that with the Eminem/Chrysler commercial at 500K or the Doritos pug commercial at 625K. (I am partial to pugs though.)

Check them out below, in order of views:


1. VW - Darth Vader with 15 million views


2. Chrysler/Eminem Ad with 500K views



3. Doritos pug commercial with 625K views




Which ones were your favs?
