By far the best one yet.

The white streaks and number coming out from behind the car and the double helix popping up is just not realistic. No way that happens in real life.**

** Cecil Rhodes was a racist. This commercial makes us no better than OM.

Good production quality. Like having field brown in it but overall a snoozefest. Who would take any interest in ms state after watching that?

Thats great we win the econcar challenge but thats not somwthing that makes people say "damn let me google msstate and see what its about". Maybe i dont understand the point of these commercials.

I agree 8. Stock video with some effects don't do much for me.

Auburn did two versions this year. To me, one of them is SIGNIFICANTLY better than the other one. You choose.

I'd rather not lie and avoid using phrases like "one of the greatest academic institutions in the country" when it's not true in our commercials. First auburn commercial was second rate quality (like msu not so long ago) and the second was simiar to the current msu ad but with a giant fabrication at the end. The goal was to express the academic side of the school and they did that. Good production value is always a plus. Otherwise, there is no need to over analyze them.

Its boring. Seems to me the whole point should be to not be boring. Easily done without lying. But again i may not understand the point.

It's good and emphasizes positives and education. However, it just doesn't grab you. Need to have one memorable second out of those thirty. One thing is that world hunger and flu epidemics are not at the forefront of our thoughts. We're more interested in salaries, grocery prices, and whether the local health clinic takes our sorry insurance.

Doesn't do much for me.

 

[The Usual Suspect]

They should do a commercial on why to come to MSU based on the attached chart...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...-and-least-likely-to-lead-to-underemployment/.

In my opinion, the facts shown in this article demonstrate why MSU is not poor ole MSU anymore. Also, please note that many of the majors that are known for underemployment currently are generally things the neighbors up north would go for.

I think a way to show exactly what you mean is various shot of student a in class then student a at work in a job. Same with student b, student c, etc but all in varying jobs or accomplishments that show the various places an MSU education can take you

The first one to me is same old boring stock footage. The second one was at minimum an attempt to capitalize on something that people with at least a mild interest in Auburn would find interesting and exciting. And if you expand the comparison group large enough, then Auburn and State are easily some of the top institutions in the world. There are plenty of better one, sure, but there are a lot who would trade places with us.

If I were Auburn, I'd have Apple CEO Tim Cook in there somewhere. How can you not brag on your star alum?

But, using the "one second" theme is a great touch. Just because it will irritate the crap out of the Bama fans for 12 weeks this fall.
