By now you’ve probably heard that RSA is holding a contest this month. It’s ridiculously easy to play and come June 30, you could walk away with $50 in your pocket. Interested? Yeah, we thought so. Read on for all the official rules/details, then head over to our Facebook page to enter.
For years we’ve been playing a little game we like to call Good Ad, Bad Ad. Each month we get together and look through a plethora of fantastic and horrible ads. Some make us laugh, some make us cry, some make us literally spit out our coffee. It’s a great time – and starting today, you can play along.
Just Like us on Facebook, then post a link to an ad or upload a photo/video you find great or terrible – and give us a quick reason why. The winner in each category (good ad/bad ad) at the end of the month will each receive a cool $50.
We know that ‘good’ and ‘bad’ are subjective. That’s why we’re asking you to tell us (briefly please) why it’s good or bad. Want examples? Take a peek.
Heinekin’s Men with Talent: This is a Good Ad. It’s memorable and there’s no question as to what/who the commercial is for. Oh yeah – did we mention it’s hilarious?
Car Dealership Billboard: This is a Bad Ad. Too much copy? Check. Too many fonts? Check. Egregious spelling errors? Check. Contradicting directions? Check!
Fun, right?
Read the rules – then head over to Facebook to post your ad!
