Top Telecommunication Ad This Xmas Season

So we are in the festive season and by now you have already heard Christmas songs playing, well if you have not you have probably heard some new ads on the radio on seen some fantastic stuff on the TV. Well today we are counting down the top ads by the 4 main telecom. providers in Jamaica…are you ready? Lets GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

 

Number 4

Lime Jamaica…ok they have used some of the biggest name in the entertainment business who have produced some great music over the years but seriously the music for this ad was far from big. We are talking about Cecile, Elephant Man, Movado and yes Beenie Man… and trust me the ad was an epic fail. The promotion is top of the line don’t get me wrong but a lot of money went down the drain producing the song for this ad. They should have invested in a song writer…Tami Chynn or Vybz Kartel anyone?

Here is a preview.

 

Number 3

Just go with the Flow…that’s right Flow Jamaica is at number 3. Being the first ad and promotion I heard this season they have everybody going with the flow. They have certainly created a catchy jingle for the xmas season but how many people will be going with the flow….I definitely need one of those wireless head set though…

 

Number 2

 

From flowing to being Clororofic that's right Claro is number two. So if you can back track last year Claro over did it with the kids and that song that played every single minute on the radio,  well this season its no different. They did a great job remixing one of the biggest summer hits and made it in a xmas vibe! When this ad is on you cant help but sing!

Clarorific!

 

Number 1

PING PING PON MI NEW BB…that’s right Digicel is at number one. With some of the hottest and most trend setting people in the industry Digicel went all out on this ad. and the promotion too. We are talking bout the lights of Tifa, Ding Dong, I-Octane, and ZJ Bambino Digicel have the air waves pumping. This ad on a whole just seem like a single of an album that’s why it is number one!

Cold Case Love

Celebs are becoming more active with the law than they are setting good examples for us to follow. Recently in the United States Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton have been to court on drug related charges, while here on the local front Bounty is making sure he's not left out of the light. Now if you have been following the news lately Bounty had been arrested again for similar charges he was arrested for the last time! If you don't know, he allegedly beat this woman with a hammer, his chain and also a mosquito zapper. The same woman he was accused of assaulting the last time!
         Why don't they learn? Every time a so call celeb is arrested it is for the same accusations (whether it be drugs, alcohol or in this case woman bashing). Now what I don't get is why haven’t any of the social advocates or groups lashed out against his unlawful act? He has done it more than once and all we hear is he is arrested then freed, now arrested and freed again. Come on! When Rihanna was bashed by Christ Brown tons of groups lashed out! Don't we have similar groups here? Do we stand for woman bashing? Or are we simply afraid of the "war lord"? We think such acts of domestic violence must be highlighted and put on the forefronts for our children to make better choices about role models and future daters.  But we cannot simply blame the 'war lord' because his girlfriend is the one who chooses to be in that situation as she refuses to press charges and allowed him to get out of jail on $500000ja  (that’s a lot ) bail. Now is it fear or is it just a case of cold love that keeps him and his girlfriend together.

#buju a Twitter Top Ten

We all know what Buju is famous for apart for his jail time right, his music of course. Well its time he added a new accomplishment to his resume, taking his place among the top ten trends in the twitterverse; after rumours of the iconic artist  release yesterday broke into the attentive mass of jamaican citizen. Media houses, artist and regular twitters blew up the  microblog/social site making the Banton a number 7 hit on the charts. However his new found fame fizzled out today when he was no where to be seen on the charts well at least we know his supports are ready and waiting again when the actual verdict is revealed.
We'll be waiting too fingers crossed.

For the Good of Movado!

Movado, Jamaica's most controversial singjay is now the new face of telecommunication giant LIME (really GIANT?). Reports are that the 'Starlight' singer signed the deal one month ago after being approached by officials of LIME. Movado will be featured in ads, billboards, and appearances for the company.
Our view: for lime this is merely a plan to increase their consumer base, but then again that's the aim of every business. However, Movado is not necessarily the most universal face available to the company as most scholar consider his earlier messages to be demeaning to  the standards of respectable human behaviour, this move however will revoke any such thought as we are sure with his appearances in ads, commercial and billboards for the company  there will me no emphasis on the gully empire. Movado stands to gain even more exposure, which is always good, and even more in his bank account. However his positive work should not be swept aside as he is currently building a center for youths in cassava piece. We can only sit back therefore and watch if lime with actually surpass its competitors with the use of such a controversial but accomplished artist as there foreman.
We think its too early to call a stands on this one
