I can't see the link between Hillary and Bill Clinton and Dave Grohl and Kurt Cobain...

I like it!

Really tired of word jokes.

I don't get it, what's the point on the sun block?

anybody can tell me what this all about?

Dave Grohl will hate this

What has EMERGE got to do with sunblock protection?

Come out from behind the shadow. Didn't think that was too hard to get.

i think grohl actually did come out from cobains shadow, but you're showing him as if he didn't. same thing happens with hillary. i like the message though

It is likeable enough to send intelligent adsoftheworld.com viewers (but only the intelligent ones) in search of DM9JaymeSyfu’s Web site.

it's a nice little journey this takes you on but the destination is lacking. using characters as enigmatic as these, the payoff (brand) doesn't really live add to them or what they stand for.... in other words...
awesome idea, but just not right
cheers,
dlue

I think this is not showing any benefit of the product.

Decent idea, but where are they sunbathing? The surface of the moon? Or an indoor concrete floor? They should have thought that out to make the overall execution better.

Who is the target market for these ads? Americans? I know that the Philippines is heavily influenced by western culture but this is just too much. It wouldn't hurt to add a local celebrity into the mix.

Who is the target of this campaign? Clueless Cannes Jury members that's who. But I doubt it will pass, this is a metaphor that missed the sun protection boat completely.

It appears some people miss going to Cannes again and want to jack up their salaries. Maybe to buy a new Mini.
This campaign might be good for the creatives who might reap awards and recognition, but I'm certain Coppertone will lose shares to Nivea, Beach Hut, and Banana Boat. "Cute" and incorrect use of a metaphor, which has absolutely no relevance to sun protection. Besides, the examples are about achievement, about "coming out of the shadow" of another person who is more accomplished. And though that IS the point, it's totally divorced from any connection to sun protection. Yes, I know you should "come out of the shadows" but that talks about showing your hidden potential or outdoing your mentors or peers, which Coppertone or any other sunblock does not do. Where is the benefit here? If the product was a professional school or something like John Robert Powers, fine. But sunblock? Tsk tsk tsk.
The idea is contrived and smacks of desperation. If it fools the jury at Cannes, good for them.
Not so good for the client and people who know how metaphors should be used. It confuses me as to why DM9 is always so desperate to constantly demonstrate their intelligence when they've already succeeded so many times in the past.
Why screw up now?
And again, no, I'm not being literal, just using common sense, which is clearly not so common.
Great for their portfolios, great to present to regional offices, not great for their clients.
Brand managers of Coppertone's competitors will surely silently thank DM9, I surmise.
