AD REVIEW: COWBELL COFFEE


I always find it interesting how a video ad almost always has to have the colours of the product as the main colours in the video. A lot of brands do it and this was no exception. The mustard yellow and coffee brown of the cowbell pack were the main colours of the video. It was nice combination because some brands tend to overdo it.
In the ad, the main character is seen in a shooting scene where he gets carried away drinking his cup of Cowbell Coffee. He says he couldn’t help himself because of how nice it tastes. The director who had earlier queried him is seen at the end, savoring the deliciousness of Cowbell Coffee. 
Now let’s do justice. The main character looks good, spoke eloquently and his smile is warm and infectious. Those to me are bonus points. It’s a short ad and goes straight to the point, which is great. The video quality was clean and crisp and the choice of colours was classy. I really cannot point out any fault in this ad. It’s a great ad and the message was well and quickly delivered.

Rating 9/10

    I don't like the part he stressed "it tastes reeeaally good". That part seemed fake to me. Also, the ending part where the director said "wetin", it just seemed forced. Other than these, the ad's message and creativity was very well delivered 👏🏾

    Hahaha I kind of get what you meant by the director being exaggerated in his reaction to being caught drinking the coffee. Lol

5 LIFE LESSONS FROM BIG BROTHER NAIJA SEASON 6

If you have been watching past editions of the Big Brother Naija show held in Lagos-Nigeria, you would agree with me that there are tons of life lessons to be learned from the show. If you’re not aware, the show is about a number of people living together in a house full of cameras, navigating through tasks and relationships and voted out by the audience until one person wins. This season started with 22 housemates and then in the first eviction 3 people were booted off ( Yerins, Niyi and Beatrice). In that same night, 4 new housemates (JMK, Kayvee, Michael and Queen) joined the initial cast of Whitemoney, Pere, Liquorose, Jackie B, Maria, Peace, Sammie, Saga, Nini, Arin, Princess, Boma, Cross, Jaypaul, Saskay, Angel, Emmanuel, Peace, Tega and Yousef.  So back to the topic: what have you learned so far from the show? Hmmm… 1. VIEWERS LIKE WHO THEY LIKE As it has proven year after year, when the show starts, viewers are drawn to particular housemates most times because of how they l...

WHAT DO STRANGERS MOSTLY ASSUME ABOUT YOU?

First of all, we are all guilty of this, let’s not even deny it. You meet someone and you immediately assume something about them. “Hmmm, she just looks like she would have a sugar daddy”. “No, he’s definitely a yahoo boy”. We just assume things about people we hardly even know.  I have had people tell me that when they first met me, they thought I was stuck up. Some say they thought I was mean and that I had this mean look. I know I’m working on smiling a lot but come on, MEAN?? Again some have said it was hard to approach me because they felt I would be cold and mean and they didn’t want to be embarrassed.  I have to tell you, it didn’t feel good hearing all that because they are not in any way a representation of who I really am. I’m a blunt person, I know (sometimes a tad too blunt for my own good), but I am not mean at all. But, what did I do about all those negative assumptions people had about me? I decided to work on myself; heck I’m still working on myself....

9 Mobile Point and Kill Ad

For the first time in a long time of watching and analyzing video ads, I am actually speechless. A lot of people have complained about this ad (especially on social media) and how they do not understand the concept behind it. Well, let’s talk about it, shall we? It starts with the main character played by Frank Donga wandering into a yacht where he proceeds to ask the server for “point and kill”, a local slang for barbecued fish. He assumes since the fish is in the water, he could just point at his choice and the “kitchen people” would prepare it for him. She looks at him like he’s crazy (and rightly so!). He finds his way to the captain and asks same of him. This time, he’s lucky as the captain gets up to “arrange” the “point and kill”. This crazy man seizes the opportunity of the captain being away to man the steering wheel of the yacht which he drives at a crazy speed, loses control and is seen screaming for the location of the brakes. END. REVIEW  The scene is beauti...
