In my opinion, Google Chrome has some of the best television commercials on TV right now. For me, the commercials are always well planned and thoughtful. I am not embarrassed to say that the Dear Sophie commercial left me teary eyed! The ads are fairly simple when you think about them but maybe that’s what is remarkable. Some are just collection of images that we see every day: searching Google, watching a video on YouTube, comment sections, social media, etc.
Considering I am predisposed to like Chrome ads, I was pretty excited when I saw their latest one, Movember. (Movember is an excuse to for dudes to grow a mustache for the month of November.) For those of you who don’t know me, I’m also predisposed to like facial hair! While it started out as something silly to do, it’s actually become a platform to raise awareness and money for men’s health issues, like prostate cancer. Now men all over the world now grow their mustaches for a purpose.
For me this whole concept is fantastic! Sometimes it seems the push for cancer awareness and prevention tends to be dominated by women. While men participate, it never seems to be the main target of most campaigns. With the Movember campaign taking a more male-centered approach, it has a real chance of making a big impact. I mean seriously, men seem to really enjoy having any reason to grow a mustache!
I love Movember and I love Google Chrome for spreading the word for such a good cause. And if I could grow a mustache (thank the lord, I can’t!), I would be sporting a handlebar one right now to support the cause!
