desertrat77 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Qwazse, thank you for sharing...powerful! I also concur with your title. You could give National a year and an unlimited budget, and they could never produce anything as professional as what we just watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pargolf44067 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 That was very well done. Can't imagine ever seeing that here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_in_CA Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I agree, very well done. I also agree we probably wouldn't see anything like that here. Some marketing pinhead would probably argue that it's "too challenging" for "American audiences" (no background music? How are they supposed to know how too feel? People will be confused by the switch from child to adult. etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBam Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 That's a great video. A nice message without a lot of hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blw2 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 does the BSA even do TV adds? or even radio spots for that matter? don't believe I've ever seen/heard one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NealOnWheels Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Sure they have TV and radio ads. But it generally is up to each council to run these ads. The ad spots would come out of the council's budget. I have seen a few over the years but they tend to be at less popular times and channels.

qwazse Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 I don't know if it aired on TV anywhere. I found it on a Facebook link to Buzz-feed or some such sight. The friend who shared it was not a scout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as good as the South African one, but not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blw2 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 yep, agreed. but very different feel I think they might appeal to cub scouts aged kids and a bit to the parents maybe The South African one was more adult focused I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwazse Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 ... The South African one was more adult focused I thinkAdult focused?I'm pretty sure 11-year-old me would think "I wanna be that guy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blw2 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Adult focused? I'm pretty sure 11-year-old me would think "I wanna be that guy." yeah, maybe so.... but at 11 did you want to give mouth-to-mouth to a GIRL? older boys, yeah well ok well maybe so and I don't think most young boys can relate to the tug on the heart strings of saving your child that this add does so well... that was my line of thinking anyway about it be targeted to adults Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
