the other day i lost my little pet hamster, he is small and orange in colour and a little fluffy.. He answers to the name Rambo, pkease can you find him for me?
When I first saw the ad, I thought the guy was LOOKING for his DOG ... and when I saw the woman go "That's my dog" and cry and hug him I was like, "OMG that's so heartwarming!"
The ad is beautifull but very offensive, this is exploitation of Christianity and the Bibel to se sell products and worse it is a direct quote of words Jesus said. Seems like FNB thinks they ar God/Jesus we all know they will never help you find your dog or do anything besides banking business> The sad thing is that the ad would have been off the air if Muslims complained like the ad with the pigs a few years back, I will close my FNB account as soon as possible.
Actually a cynical add by a Bank that doesn't practise what it preaches - and yes I am one of your "customers" The add itself is good but would be put to better use by a church maybe?
Brilliant ad, this is such a good concept and well filmed! Not a big fan of the kind of voice they went for with the narration though. Anyone know where I can get the piece of music that plays in the background???
I think this ad is AWFUL! I could perhaps understand if it was an ad for the SPCA or Wetnose... but for FNB? You just have to have a look at a website like "Hello Peter" to see that FNB are feeding the public a load of hogwash. Stooping to a new low using cute animals or children to sell your product. I am also very uncomfortable with the "8 Beatitudes of Jesus Christ" crib. Not original. Not clever.
You know what breaks the emotional connection of this ad, the lame FNB jingle at the end!! POOR!!!! #stupid. Lost all that emotional connection they worked so hard to create over the 1min25sec before the logo swiped in - which also sucked!
This is probably THE greatest ad that SA has made in a long time. I saw it for the first time this morning whilst watching Weekend Live. Very Emotional and Powerful. Well done FNB and the creators of this ad.
Lol. I live in the place the ad was made. and so it makes me even more "feel-good" than normal since its the kind of things people living in the area where the ad was made actually do. they actually do things like that. its an amazing ad, and an amazing concept that was done 110%. Thats why i bank there. . .
I do not like this ad. Thought, initially it was for some dog protection charity. NOT related to banking at all - If FNB want to be considered blessed, then they can bless us by lowering their bank charges, which are ridiculous for direct debits and cheque deposits. NO WAY - this ad tugs at peoples emotions but is NOT RELEVANT to the big corporate banks AT ALL!
i know...the dog ran into the night in search of a pair of levi's(go forth) so he could wear them to a bowling alley, like an after hours athlete(puma) and call his rescuer on his Nokia(fairy tale) cell phone. Weirdly enough I don't mind the shameless use of an animal to win its viewers harts but its the pretentious, highly referenced, try -hard treatment that hammers the tone into a very desperate, soulless place, the very thing it needed. Lots of back slapping I'm sure.
I wish you would upload the popular old ad with a sheep herding a lot of Border Collies (Who Let the Dogs Out?.) Please please please upload it!
