Salad

Last week, ads started getting funny again. This week they got even funnier. And smarter.

And just when we needed it most, ads are getting funny again. This week the Salad boys discuss a powerful spot detailing the effect that workouts can have on PTSD and then jump into two humorous ads about quarantine.

Another episode of Salad for your ears as you listen safely from home (we hope). This week the boys discuss new quarantine ads and continue to analyze how the market is shifting week by week.

The gang's not all back together yet, but Trent rejoins from his time away and opens the show with an update on what's to come for Salad during these hard times - don't worry though, we're not going anywhere! In this week's Bite-Sized Takes, Trent and Cole serve up their thoughts on two starkly different COVID-19 response ads from Facebook and MassMutual. As they discuss on the show, creating an ad is no longer about the friends you make along the way... it's about the Why. All this and more, streaming now. Hope you enjoyed this week's dish!

Another week, another salad folks and it's been a doozy of a week! Just when we thought we were safe to take a break, Peloton had to go and break the internet with a top candidate for worst ad of the year. And yes we're saying that just two weeks after South Dakota literally said "Meth. We're on it." While Peloton's busy holding South Dakota's beer, we also dive into Oscar the Grouch's artistic ability and how a timeless classic was remade to promote Instagram Shopping.
