MDZip Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 It worked for me. All three were very similar but I thought all were pretty good too. (Edit: I also had picked #1, the color changing contact lens for diabetics was awesome). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 It worked for me. All three were very similar but I thought all were pretty good too. I agree, all three are well done. 70% of the content is the same, all dealing with ongoing research at the U. Again, well done! I voted for commercial #1.

mcdezso Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 All three are well done. But I think 1 & 3 will reach the audience better. I voted for 1 today and will vote for 3 tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottditzen Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I agree, all three are well done. 70% of the content is the same, all dealing with ongoing research at the U. Again, well done! I voted for commercial #1. I like #1 and #3....leaning toward #1. I think #2 looked great, but I thought the vocal cadence was a little off.

LZIp Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I picked #1. The fact that it didnt show the voting results has me a little skeptical, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1719 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I liked all, tough decision, I went with #3 though. Mostly because of the deterioration of our infrastructure nationally, especially roadways and bridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 The commercial will likely only be aired locally. I chose #3 because I thought it would hit home the most with the people who will be watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsfan33 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I wish they did an ad with Hixson and Blackburn in it and saying Go Giants from your U of A family! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I voted for #1. I agree that #3 would seem to seem to identify more with the rustbelt mindset, but I'm not sure that a 21st century University wants to take that angle. Personally, I would have them speed up the graphics and intro (it's a tiny bit sluggish by my taste anyway) and make more time to hit with all of the examples in 30secs, instead of just picking two.

Dr Z Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I voted three since the company I work for is directly involved with the technology advertised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
