Review and Rating of "Lamar Advertising Company" Commercial

Ironically, my today’s commercial review is about a company that does advertising – Lamar Advertising Company. If you are not familiar with Lamar, this is a company that does outdoor advertising, especially using boards around highways. The specific commercial I am reviewing today is in fact displayed on an advertising board; and I saw it in Chicago. The board shows an elephant and a peanut (in its shell). At the bottom it reads: “Big results, costs peanuts.” This statement is then followed by the word Lamar using the company’s logo. What caught my eyes was that the peanut is shown much larger than the elephant. The commercial displayed on the board is very vivid and quickly sets in your mind. I knew about Lamar, but for a moment I could not remember what it was. It finally came to me what Lamar Advertising Company does. If you like simplicity, you will like this commercial. It is very creative. Even though, I believe, not too many people will recognize the company, for those involved in advertising, the commercial will relay a quick and clear message. Using the advertising board appears to be a very right medium for this commercial. Now here is my rating. Please remember that this blog is not indented to endorse any product – just rating commercials. This is my review #8.

Commercial theme: Pictures of an elephant and peanut displayed (small elephant, large peanut)
Product: Lamar Advertising
Type: Highway advertising board
My opinion: Very simple, sets quickly in mind.
Rating: This commercial gets a “JM” rating of 9.0 out of 10

  1. Without a Lamar outdoor, Yellowstone Nationwide Recreation area offers visitors a one-of-a-kind vacation experience during the winter season season time. Nowhere else on World will you find a scenery as unique, awe-inspiring, and strange as Yellowstone during the cold months season. Winter transport in most of the park is restricted to over-the-snow automobiles such as snowfall tracks and snowcoaches.
