Last week we brought your attention to Yahoo’s creatively challenged $100 million ad push. Here’s the TV piece of the new You-centric campaign:
Sadly, this ad looks like any number of credit card or soft drink ads we’ve all seen a thousand times before. By showing us a world of diversity, we are meant to find ourselves in the mix and agree, “Yeah, that’s me!” But who does that?
Yahoo might be a solid company with decent product offerings, but I don’t get any sense of that from this TV spot. The strategy is off; hence, the creative is off.
