  • Generational differences are on Andrew and Genevieve’s mind this week as Zillow tries to attract young, broke adults into the housing market and Taco Bell uses a hot new DJ to sell a dream. Plus, Andrew is really impressed with a new ad campaign from AirBNB, and fast food companies can’t stop talking about how much their food sucks?

    Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week’s show:

  • A nostalgia-soaked campaign by Miller Lite and a pepped-up approach by Sonic Drive-In both seem bent on lifting the national mood, through drunkenness and/or french fries. Plus, a medical referral service makes a rash decision.

    Here are links to the ads and articles we talked about in this week’s show:

  • After Vieves introduced actor and beloved zaddy Christopher Meloni into evidence last week, Andrew makes good on his threat to produce a “Meloni or Bologna” show that leaves very little of Meloni’s bologna to the imagination. Plus, the Queen of Soul shills for hotdogs, and Jennifer Garner is no Tom Hanks.

    Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week’s show:

  • Vieves takes over with a slate of “in the wild” ads she’s been seeing with a weirdly high concentration of English accents. Plus, Taco Bell tries to change their rep, and Andrew is NOT having it. And an Ad Councilor does their own admonishing and adcollating.
