Transcript excerpt

Like every iconic brand has had a singular moment or a creative swing that just propelled them into the stratosphere. Apple ran this ad during the Super Bowl in 1984 with a subtle nod to Orwell's 1984. And in it, they painted IBM as the monolith while painting access to Apple's personal computer as an act of individual freedom. Old Spice was your grandfather's deodorant until Wieden Kennedy made this ad in 2010 where they unlocked the fantasy of what using their product gets you. And Levi's watched their sales plummet year over year until they filmed a commercial in tier where British model Nick Cameron strips to his boxers and throws his jeans in the laundromat. Every brand wants to be top of mind, but only a few are willing to invest in the moments and the messaging required to get them there visually, which is why I love what Mountain is doing. It lets you run TV ads across all the big platforms. You can use their website to rank performances in real time to targeted audiences all at a fraction of the cost. Any brand can compete for the same attention and eyeballs as long as the creative is good. If you're a brand that wants to invest more in TV ads, check out what Mountain does
