Comment on Effective examples of startup commercials

Comments

I have to give the nod to Dollar Shave Club. It's hard to make a commercial that's actually funny without it feeling forced, and they pulled it off.

Did you see the bald guy with cream on his head is reading "The Lean Startup" at about 25s?

An amazing nod to the tech / HN / startup community.

Ha, no I did not. I'm sure Eric Ries would be proud.

DSC's was so successful when it came out it crashed their servers until the next morning.

I signed up shortly afterward and am on the wait-list until May. Talk about successful marketing!

Where did you see it, on TV? If not, how did they get people (like you) to watch it in the first place?

Yeah, by far the best and just hilarious from beginning to end.
