This Is How You Message: YouTube Videos That Are Making TV Ads Look Sad

To the Democrats:

To the Republicans:

American Resurgence:

This last one was made by a teenager. Nice production value, don’t you think? And, by the way, I’m in it.

Massachusetts Miracle:

“Momentum” Ad By Scott Brown

*
*This is a TV ad but it is so good, I included it.

What do these videos/ads have in common?

1. They connect emotionally
2. The message is clear
3. The feel is positive, optimistic
4. They inspire action
5. They promote connection

These are great examples of videos that touch heart and mind with an understandable, actionable message. Note that there isn’t a lot of flash and dash with any of these videos, yet they’re all easy to watch and absorb.

Good stuff. I like it.

But Before You Say That…

  • Comments that are inappropriate, rude, completely stupid, or obviously meant to bait others into a flame war may be deleted.  If that happens to you and you want to throw a tantrum about “free speech,” do it on your own blog.  Basically, if you wouldn't say it to someone's face without the shield of anonymity, don't say it here.
  • If you are a new commenter or are using a new e-mail address, your comment will go to moderation.  Even regular commenters get stuck in moderation sometimes.  Please be patient; your comment will be published as soon as I can get to it.
  • Comments that will never get published are those that are posted under the name “anonymous” and those using an obviously fake e-mail address.
