Obama Commercial 2008 Presidential Campaign


I find very interesting how many celebrities participated in this video. We have to keep in mind that in 2008 Barack Obama used social media to the fullest to reach out to younger demographics. I can't imagine anyone  under the age of 30 that didn't know at least one celebrity in the video. The way this video was produced is incredible, the use of black and white and the speech of Barack Obama on top of the celebrities' voices is very appealing. This add was not like anything he had seen before, it is so inspiring and visually pleasing that is almost hard not be attached or persuaded to vote for him.

  1. And yet it does not address any real issues. Does that matter? Should it matter? How about the images that are used here? You could have done more with this rich material.
