Trending Commercials

A commercials success is judged by its ability to stick with the target market, simply put it has to be memorable. Commercials seem to be getting better and better these days. The other day my niece was watching TV in the living room. After the TV had been turned off she told her mom that she watched a fun cartoon about Lucky Charms. My niece didn’t even realize she was watching a commercial. So was this ad memorable to the target market? Yes.

Memorable ads can be funny, patriotic, or anything that connects with people. Recently a trending theme among viewers and advertisers is the celebration of motherhood. Having a mother is something every person has in common. Anytime we start talking about moms emotions run high. And because of those emotional connections, motherhood is a great commercial strategy. Here are some of the trending commercials from 2014 that celebrate moms and also connect with their target markets in incredible ways.
