I am not really materialistic so I don’t actually focus on advertisements or products for that matter. However there is this one particular advertisement that I can recall not because of the content but because of the background music. It had a catchy tune and I remember almost everyone humming that tune during that days. This advertisement was to promote a SIM card called Vodafone which is still prevalent but not prominent. The advertisement had helped the company to promote its product significantly as it was one of the most renowned and distinguished advertisements at the time. Also instead of using actors the video, the ad used animated characters which made it all the more entertaining. It was almost like watching an animated short rather than watching an advertisement for a product so that element of entertainment made it more tolerable compared to other ads as someone who actually despise advertisement as I find them completely irrelevant and unuseful. This was an exception.
