>> no [bleep]. >> check under the sink. >> note. hey -- you tricked me into doing chores. that is, the everyone can enjoy. >> youoth enjoy this . why is it effective? >> first, it was co-funded. what is thatat about having soone help y pay for an ad? >> and cro funded. this was a way off saying, we do not have a $4.5 million budget so we argoing to do it with a couple of our friends. people chipped in to help y. i thinthey also won the p.r. r. they really came outut ahehead, in tes of the advanced buzz. in terms of being a spf on every ad out there. isis that how they did it? >> they took advantage of what they h had done last year, which

was a way to get on the super bowl without being on the super bowl. this year, how do you top that? it ikindnd of in a lge to smalall businesses, a way for -- it is kind of an homage to small businees, a y r them toome togegeth. >> this is aittle-known blue company that bet the farm. basement their advertising budget for the year on this one spot. take a look. ♪ ♪ >> ♪ type in your fanny p pack you cahelp a l ♪

>> no superstars, no celebrities, no britney sprs.. just a lot of brandiding for a compmpany that is not a big name.. does i it rk? >> a absolutely. they are up against gorilla glue , which has a hugege advertisising budget. thisis is smart, unique, memorable. it will be remembered. >> it is a small l company. you are root for the l little guy. you are e in advertising. would you forget radio adsds all year long to buy one super bowl ad? >> in th case, it is a national brand. you think about the numbers of people they are reaching out on. it is brilliant. it is a brliant agency. on top of ththat, the ad is not that exciting, but it is literalllly 30 seconds. >> there are some companies that

come up with great ads, but at the end o of it, you cannot think who the company is. it is shurous, but ere is no branding. iis the most t creative agency in america. >> what woulthey he done that we would have heard of? >> they did cadillac for years. >> eds, herding cats. >> it is the strategy on that. it is not a hail mary. you think of the numbers of people they need to reach in one hit. the memedia budget is so small that if they spread it out, no one sees it. it is notven a product you look for. it is kind of f a secondary product. it is brilliliant. >> we give so much free media to super bowl ads. we get even more after they release them in advance. the super bowl has not even air yet, and we are e dissecting the best and worst ads. the bmw ad -- i worked with brian gumbel and katatie couric. bryant is the most lovabable know

what all you will ever work wi. for brian gumbel toe willing to rele days when he looks pretty ignorant, looking back -- it worked for me. what didou like about it? >> i went t to high scol with katie. she was great. >> willing to make fun of herself. make fun of her hair. >> that was alws her magic on the todaday show. that is at is great. >> and it giveseople permission to consider a new vehicle that hasas new tecechnology. the self-deprecating hum certainly works. itives the rest of us not o only a la and a c ackckle and a bit of nostalglgia, but perssion to explore a w vehicle in a dierent way. >> w we definitelyly want to talk about t e ad that did t work in terms of public applause, but maybe did in terms of strategy. we will see. it is halftime. more branding lessons from the team, right after the break.

>> we are back with more of a breakdn from what you can learn out the ser bowl vertising juggerut, wiwith cary hch andnd matt smith, our am every yeaear. we areble to talabout the ads in advance.

we usually do this a week after the super bowl. now, thehave all beeeen discusd. we usually like to eithelaugh or cry but in a heartfelt, sentimental od cry way. one e of the ads you picked as st eective thiss yr is unsettttling. it is a psa that the nfl produced. take a lk. [phone rings] >> 911. opoperator. where is the emergency? >> 127. >> what is going on? >> i w want to order a pizza for delilivery. >> this is an emergency line. >> half pepperoni. halflf mushrooms. >> you c called 911. is it an emergency? is everything ok over there? you have an emergency or not? >> yes. >> and you are unable to talk because? >> right. >> is therere someone in the room with you?

say yes or no. >> yes. >> it looks like i have an officer about a mile from your location. are there any weapons inin your housuse? >> no. >> can you stay on the phone with me? >> know. thanyou. >> you know w i give my charity time to chilabuse. unsettling to watch during one kind o of game. why does this work? >> it has a huge audience. the nfl is in a position now to talkbouthis sue. the need to talk about this. they have had their own challenges. raray rice and a number of others. my uerstanding is that the whole e campaiaign h been effective, but i think this will really bring it homeme for a lot of people. don hudson has done a great job the new chf marketing officer. made a meaningngful differce to their messaging. i think all of usus feel empored to do something now, anand th is an important step area >> th

is based on an actual incide an actuaual phone call to 911. it is unsettling durining the super bowl. does it work? >> it works, and it is desned for e super bowl, because she is calling for a pizza, which as we know, everybody orders pizza dung the super bowl. you are kind of sucked in,n, just like the 911 opeperator was. then, tak the turn. it is powerful, because you fefeel like there arere people doing things like this. i know when we shared it around i s like, this is probably the most powerful ad in the super bo. not a big budget. brliantly executed on a shoestring budget. >> we talklk about child abuse. we do not talk about this issue enough. this is effective. >> if you doot have a big media budget, this is an opportunity to hava sharper nail. >> if you do not have a bigger hammer, you have to have a sharper il. thisis message is poignant emotional, and real.

>> it does not let the e nfl of the book f everything, butt is a good move. this has the mosbuzz and is not going to air tonight. the go daddy puppy out. ta a look. ♪ ♪ >> it is buddydy! i am so glad you made it home. because i just s sold you on this new website i built withth daddy. ship them out. you are expecting a ce budweiser stimental moment. you get politically incorrect huhumor, so muchch so that go dadd pull the ad because people were offended that it was promoting a puppy mill. goaddy said this was not a deliliberate ploy to get attention. do you buy that? >> i i am a little cynical.

>> of course it was planned. it takes time for the nfl to approve an end tgo on network. you know what it iss like to get an ad on the super bo. the amount of approval process it went through? this is like reality programming where the c camera is inside and it pretends ones there. total set up.. >> i talked to one of the other top ad execs in town, and she does not buy it either. what i think go daddy is asking us to believe is, if they did not know i it was going to offend some people, they have no finger on the pulse. they have always had effecve advertising. of course they knew it was going to offend people. but as cynics ask, is that effective? look at all the free media go daddy has gotten from ththis ad. does it still serve their purpose? quickly social marketing game is ov. they won it. >> in bad way. can an absolute bad way. >> but they won it. >> i don't think people likto

get played. >> it depends on the punch line. say the dog was bought by danica. millions of dollars donated. >> we id we were going to be talking about this. bill said, this is a funny ad. everybody lighten up. get over it. it is an edgy cpany that is supposed to appeal to younger tech savvy users. there is a lotf inappropate humor. are we fududdy-duddies? >> iandle a client in the dog worl and i am all over facebook saying, when we croross the line? at what point does awareness equal -- this is one of those things that crossed the line. i do believe they did not expect the reaction. you don't mess wh dogs. >> even if it was deliberate, it was a mis-play

>> it was a mis-play. courts we will see who plays t best game. thank you for breakingown the best advertising. thank you all. be surto let us know what you thought of today's show. on facebook, comment on the ads, and you u can follow us on twitter. you can watch any our interviews at wjla.com. have a great week.
