"The perfect clip for a truly horrible song.

Genesis"

I thought it was a Phil Collins solo effort

In the same way that I don't have to run faster than the lion, just faster than the guy next to me, ad agencies don't have to be smarter than the audience, just smarter than the client

The thing is...everyone is talking about this gorilla advert so it's obviously doing the trick...

"what's this crap advert with a gorilla in?"
"Ah, it's for Cadburys"

Bingo...

Someone shoot me down - that's the norm for PCG

I'm at work so I can't see any of these videos.

Do any of them feature twats with their jacket sleeves rolled up to their elbows?

The product is not mentioned, or shown.

Is this why marketing gurus can name their price?

The "brand" is shown right at the start "A Cadburys production", and the purple background also links in, but I would much prefer to see a lass gobbling a flake in a bath...

Brilliant. Anyone else seen this?

The only problem is, I can't remember what the advert is for.
