For me it has to the awesomeness that was the Sony Bravia bouncy balls advert because like the paint explosion video they did its just the sheer scale of the video that is impressive and the fact they usually only have one take to get it right. its not very often you see adverts like this. I wouldn't want to be the person to tidy that all up afterwards though lol

The "Children of the 90s" ad by Microsoft is my pick. In fact, I'm a millennial and a Microsoft Explorer (now rebranded to Edge) user.

The ad builds around iconic items from 90s childhood, creating high nostalgia pressure while featuring the strong motto, "You grew up, so did we." This strategic blend of nostalgia and cost-effective production highlights clever marketing at its best. It's engaging and shareable, and I think it's a great example of viral low-budget marketing, which could be used as a sample for marketing classes.

On of my all time favorite Tech adverts for a few reasons is the Sony Bravia Color Like No Other TV ad from the 00's!

Now when this was launched it was just wow as they literally covered these buildings in paint, for real, this is not CGI! Think a firework display with paint bombs and you have the right idea!

Also this is in my homeland of Scotland so it was very cool that they used these residential tower blocks which were due for demolition and covered them in paint for this advert! There is also some making off / behind the scenes videos which I will link if i can find any as they are worth a watch also!

But yeah the advert on Sony's New Bravia TV's would really pop as I remember they used to have this and also another one with loads of bouncy balls in San Francisco on repeat in Currys / PC World when I would go in and look at their TV's back in the day lol

Anyways enjoy!

Here is a behind the scenes making of video too -

Really Spectacular advert, and incredible the amount of work that went into this TV ad!

Although it's recent, I loved seeing this SuperCell advert and still can't get over all the star cameos! Supercell is a mobile game developer and the advert was made to promote their latest title, Squad Busters. The advert was commissioned to be made by a creative studio called Uncommon and featured loads of celebs such as Ken Jeong, Chris Hemsworth, Christina Ricci, Will Arnett and Bella Poarch to name a few. Having this mix of Hollywood stars and internet talent made the ad be more memorable and enticing so in turn it captivated both gaming and pop culture audiences.

My pick is "Alexa Loses Her Voice," which premiered during Super Bowl LII in 2018. Sources indicate that a 30-second ad slot during the Super Bowl cost around $5.24 million in 2018, meaning this 90-second ad featuring a star-studded cast, including Gordon Ramsay, Rebel Wilson, Cardi B, and Anthony Hopkins, directed by Wayne McClammy, likely cost Amazon a fortune.

However, the investment paid off as the ad became one of the most talked-about commercials of the year, highlighting Alexa’s irreplaceable value. Even six years later, we are still discussing it here.

Personally, I don't use a voice assistant for my smart home, but the ad was a hot topic among my friends and colleagues.
