The Escalator

This funny escalator commercial is a classic, and has been used as an example in some marketing courses. I was reminded of this video by Baekdal.com's article of 7 Viral Marketing Tricks. The list included several other classics I have featured on this site including the Smirnoff Raw Tea and the Dove Evolution advertisements that I have highlighted in the past.

I love seeing advertisements from different parts of the world. This Camlin marker commercial does a good job of supporting the tagline with its concept.
