I’d like to talk about Adidas commercial featuring Lionel Messi, who is one of the most famous footballers in the world. The advertisement is mainly about sportswear and football boots. It also focus on Lionel Messi incredible skills and achievements. He is shown playing football, scoring goals and training extremely hard in the commercial. What makes the adverts particularly memorable is that it doesn’t just promote the product, it also tries to convey the message that hard work and determination can help you to take a long way. I first came across this advertisement on social media, then TV and YouTube. To be honest, it caught my eye straight away because Messi is one of my favorite footballer and someone almost everyone recognizes. This presence gives the advertisement a lot of credibility because people naturally exercise him with excellence, discipline and athleticism. I find it quite motivating because Messi didn’t become successful overnight. He had to put tremendous amount of effort and overcome various challenges through his career. So whenever I see the adverts I feel inspired. Overall I’d say it’s quite memorable and well crafted advertisement because it combines a human’s personality is an inspiring message, really done simply trying to sell a product.
