Should we argue? I don't think so. I'm just saying that since I'm not familiar with Pomegranate, I didn't notice those things at all. I happen to know it WAS filmed there, but didn't seem like advertising to me. You are probably very familiar with the store.
Most out of towners aren't. |
I'm not trying to argue, I just want to make one last point -- in a world where advertising "real-estate" on a spot on race-car driver's uniform practically the size of a postage stamp gets sold to corporate sponsors for huge amounts of money, I guess I'm jaded to believe that any opportunity to promote your brand is a deliberate attempt.
And I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I'm just saying I'm assuming it's deliberate.
I said it felt a bit like a commercial.
Seeing swing dancers in Gap khakis doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the music and dancing, but I'm still aware that they're increasing brand awareness (even if not actively trying to sell me something).
Call me a cynic.

I love the way they dance, I guess I'm a fan of jive, but I hate khakis

I think they were trying to point out the cultural differences in food, actually. The gefilte fish vs. the spicy salads, etc.

I agree with Zahava. I live in Israel and have never steped foot into Pomegranate. I have only seen their ads in Mishpacha. I had no idea that this was filmed there and I did not notice one of the items mentioned above. The message I got from the song and video was all about cultural diversity! And I didn't recognize one worker. This was very different from the Gap commercial. (which I loved btw)

For someone (like myself) who never heard of this store (not in a magazine or in real life or anything else) I never even noticed any names on anything the whole video.
So, its only a "commercial" for those that know what it is.
I thought it was cute.

Which one is your son?
I got a kick out of this video, not exactly sure what the words mean but it is funny and entertaining.

And I'm loving the dancing. If we women can't get out there, I'm glad to see some good work done by the guys! Great video, catchy tune, and it might just be my next purchase

Ya know, I didn't get that, but now that you mention it, it totally makes sense! Thanks!
