California Advertising!

After spending a summer there and travelling around the state for two weeks and seeing as this blog is for a social media module I of course checked out some of the advertising on Cali.

Needless to say the ads are exactly as you would picture California, showing its diversity, scenery, lifestyle and of course how beautiful the state and the people there are!


Here are some of the videos I came across!
                                     




Have to say that most of the stuff touched on in these videos really does give you a taste of what the place is like and we definitely experienced some of this on our trip!


And to finish off here is one of the most famous viral videos of last year. Filmed in Yosemite! 
The infamous double rainbow vid.... enjoy :)

  3. The contrast between those ads and the Irish tourism board's ones is comical! I know which I'd rather visit anyway!

    1. Haha, very true! No way would I pick Ireland over cali if i was making a decision on where to holiday...

      Although i will say that the irish tourism board is a bit better than the Norther Irish one, remember tat ad with the banging trance tune and all it did was show nightclubs... absolutely laughable!
