古董文案
David Abbott
大衛·阿伯特(David Abbott)曾給柯達寫過文案,給奧美廣告的前身美瑟暨克勞瑟廣告(Mather & Crowther which became Ogilvy & Mather)寫過文案,給恒美廣告(Doyle Dane Bernbach which became Doyle Dane Bernbach Needham)寫過文案,給已經掛掉了的FGD(French Gold Abbott)寫過文案,還給后來成了AMV·BBDO的AMV(Abbott Mead Vickers which became Abbott Mead Vickers·BBDO )寫過文案。
大衛在《The Copy Book》中戲謔地說,伺候過這么多公司后,他成了“老古董”。眾所周知,大衛最聲名遠播的作品,是他為經濟學人雜志創作的系列廣告。
(大衛的代表作)
今天,我們打算帶去見識見識他為《The Copy Book》自選的6幅得意之作——中的3幅。
01 大眾汽車廣告
如果他能做到,大眾也能
無意冒犯,費爾德曼先生。
但是沒人會把你錯認作格里高利·派克。你已經做到了極致。
論天資。
如果你制造了一輛汽車,外形和我們的相差無幾,那的確讓我們松了口氣。
大眾汽車并不好看,但是費爾德曼先生,它天賦異稟。
它配有風冷式發動機,讓它在炎炎夏日里不會熱氣沸騰。
或是在數九寒冬里封凍結冰。
就是那種引擎,你可以開著它前進、前進、再前進。
我們知道有個人開著它走了24萬8千英里。
還有,對于一輛小轎車而言,乘坐空間如此舒適,真是太有才了。
它的凈空高度超乎你的想象(從座椅到車頂超過37?英寸)
費爾德曼先生,即便你身高6英尺77英寸,你仍然不會撞到車頂。
因為發動機沒有前置,所以,在前排你有足夠的空間伸展雙腿。
在后排,我們甚至專門留出了空間,可以供你的寶寶睡上一覺。
在輕便嬰兒床里
所以如你所見,費爾德曼先生,顏值并不代表一切,不是嗎?
If he can make it, so can Volkswagen
No disrespect intended, Mr. Feldman.
But no-one would ever mistake you for Gregory Peck.Yet you’ve made it right to the top.
On talent.
And that’s kind of reassuring when you make a car that looks like ours.
The Volkswagen isn’t pretty, Mr. Feldman but it’s got talent.
It has an air-cooled engine that can’t boil over inthe summer.
Or freeze up in the winter.
It’s the kind of engine that can go on and on and on.
We know one person who went right on for 248,000 miles.
And for a little car it’s got a great talent for fitting people in.
There’s more headroom than you’d expect (over 37? from seat to roof.)
If you were 6’77’’ Mr. Feldman you still wouldn’t hitthe roof.
And because there’s no engine in the front, there’s room to stretch your legs in the front.
We’ve even got a space behind the back seat where you can sleep a baby.
In a carrycot.
So you see, Mr. Feldman, looks aren’t everything are they?
02 森寶利超市
猜猜Sainsbury’s全新罐裝葡萄柚味道如何?
我們小小的獨特改進,讓全新罐裝葡萄柚成為了一座了不起的里程碑。
它是真空包裝。(眾所周知,最早是在英國發售。)
這讓葡萄柚的口感帶了幾分神秘,嘗起來如同鮮果。
但是口感好絕不是它唯一的長處。有了真空包裝,我們可以將更多的葡萄柚放進罐子里。
相較于傳統工藝,平均每罐加量25%。
你可以購買我們全新“密封口味”葡萄柚,果汁純正,不加糖。
不管怎樣,你都能嘗到更美的滋味,吃到更多的水果。
Sainsbury’s物美價廉
Guess what Sainsbury’s new canned grapefruit tastelike?
In this own little way our new canned grapefruits is something of a milestone.
It’s vacuum-packed. (As faras we know, the first on sale in Britain.)
The outcome is grapefruit that tastes uncannily like the fresh fruit.
But taste isn’t the only advantage. With vacuum-packing, we’re able to put much more grapefruit into the can.
On average, 25% more fruit than with traditional canning methods.
You can buy our new “flavor seal” grapefruit, unsweetened in pure juice or in a syrup.
Either way you get more flavor and more fruit.
Good food costs less at Sainsbury’s
P.S.阿伯特認為,提問是一個吸引注意力的好方法!
03 皇家·芝華士
因為你,我已相識一生。
因為一輛紅色的Rudge自行車曾經讓我成為整條街上最幸福的男孩 。
因為你允許我在草坪上打板球。
因為你過去常常把抹布纏在腰間在廚房里跳舞。
因為有我,你的支票薄總是不得空閑。
因為我們的家總是充滿書香笑語。
因為在無數個星期六的早晨,你都會騰出時間來看一個小男孩踢橄欖球。
因為,你從不對我奢求太高亦或讓我放任自流。
因為無數個夜晚你伏在案頭工作,而我則躺在床上呼呼大睡。
因為你從不和我談論鳥類和蜜蜂,以免讓我難堪。
因為我知道你的皮夾里總是放著一張關于我獲得獎學金的已褪色的剪報。
因為你總是讓我把鞋跟擦得和鞋尖一樣锃亮。
因為你已經38次記住了我的生日,甚至更多。
因為我們見面時你依然會擁抱我。
因為你依然送花給媽媽。
因為你有著比同齡人更多的白發,而我知道是誰在推波助瀾。
因為你是一位了不起的爺爺。
因為你讓我的妻子感到她是這個家庭的一員。
因為我上一次請你吃飯時你還是想去麥當勞。
因為在我需要時,你總會在我的身邊。
因為你允許我犯錯,卻沒有一次責備說“我早說過會這樣”。
因為你依然假裝只有在閱讀時才需要戴眼鏡。
因為我本應言謝,卻澀于言表。
因為今天是父親節。
因為如果你都受之有愧,還有誰配得上皇家芝華士?
Because I’ve known you all my life.
Because a red Rudge bicycle once made me the happiest boy on the street.
Because you let me play cricket on the lawn.
Because you used to dance in the kitchen with a tea-towel round your waist.
Because your cheque book was always busy on my behalf.
Because our house was always full of books and laughter.
Because of countless Saturday mornings you gave up towatch a small boy play rugby.
Because you never expected too much of me or let me get away with too little.
Because of all the nights you sat working at your desk while I lay sleeping in my bed.
Because you never embarrassed me by talking about the birds and the bees.
Because I know there’s a faded newspaper clipping in your wallet about my scholarship.
Because you always made me polish the heels of my shoes as brightly as the toes.
Because you’ve remembered my birthday 38 times out of 38.
Because you still hug me when we meet.
Because you still buy my mother flowers.
Because you’ve more than your fair share of grey hairs and I know who helped put them there.
Because you’re a marvelous grandfather.
Because you made my wife feel one of the family.
Because you wanted to go to McDonalds the last time I bought you lunch.
Because you’ve always been there when I’ve needed you.
Because you let me make my own mistakes and never once said “I told you so.”
Because you still pretend you only need glasses for reading.
Because I don’t say thank you as often as I should.
Because it’s Father’s Day。
Because if you don’t deserve Chivas Regal, who does?
P.S.這則廣告沒有標題,因為作者自己都不知道該如何命題。如果有人想試試為它擬一個標題,就會更加理解這則廣告的用情之處。
大衛·阿伯特(David Abbott),一個廣告界的智者,寫過很多優秀的廣告文案。在廣告圈闖蕩一生之后,他對于如何寫文案總結出了5條經驗,與全球所有的廣告人共勉。
1、把自己放在作品里。用你的生活去活化你的文案,只有感動自己才能感動別人。
2、用視覺的想像思考。要某人描述一座螺旋梯,他多半會手口并用。有時最好的文案就是沒有文案。
3、如果你相信事實勝于雄辯,你最好學會寫明細,叫他讀起來不像明細。
4、坦白對靈魂有益,對文案亦然。
5、別讓人煩。
