It goes without saying that advertising is a commercial instrument that serves a business to sell its products or promote its image. Other times however, it is instead used in the social setting. Think for example of prevention campaigns, fundraising for rare diseases, those that raise awareness of public issues such as road security, or the fight against drugs.
In still other situations ads can have an informative and educative nature, for example inviting us not to waste energy or water. In these cases, generally, institutions take the responsibility to sponsor such causes and the collective wellbeing of the community benefits from these merely commercial aspects.
Often times, these forms of advertising are the ones that excite us most giving us goose bumps and stirring our thoughts and feelings. They are short films that in the end make us smile, cry, or reflect, and that certainly never leave us indifferent.
Familyandmedia has selected for you some of these recent spots, and we are sure that you too will be rapt with emotion. Enjoy!
