So….I keep hearing people talk about McDonald’s and their advertisements featuring black people. I don’t have cable….so I don’t see them. Word on the street is that McDonald’s advertisements are not very favorable of black people.

Safelite Auto Glass Commercial
Here’s another commercial, this time advertising SafeLite Auto Glass. It’s refreshing to continue to see commercials with natural hair actors/models that aren’t just advertising hair products. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj0DbvjaChs&w=560&h=345]

Why ads for blacks backfire?
Here’s an interesting (and thought-provoking) article published on Theroot.com on advertising to black consumers. I couldn’t say it any better, so I’m re-posting it. “A roll of the eyes. A shake of the head. A sigh of disgust: Whatever your reaction may have been to Summer’s Eve’s latest viral advertisements, you certainly had one. As part of the personal-hygiene brand’s Hail …Read more »

Staples – That was easy
It’s been a minute since my last post. But I’m back, and found a Staples advertisement just in time for back to school. I found this on a random website about soccer. The relevance of natural hair continues to increase!

Walmart Advertisement
So…you knew this was coming. I’m surprised this is the first advertisement I’ve seen featuring a woman with natural hair from this retail giant. As you can see, there’s a lot going on with this advertisement (I found it in the July 2011 issue of Essence). It’s promoting controlling diabetes, Walmart, and the Essence Music Festival. All at the same …Read more »

Kit Kat City Steps Commercial
Here’s another commercial from Kit Kat. This time, model Briana Colete has a big (and beautiful) twist-out. Learn more about Briana Colete here. What’s similar to their other commercial?

Carfax Advertisement
Show me the Carfax, says the little girl in this commercial. Although her mom is the actor with natural hair in this commercial, this little girl is too grown and cute for me! [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwRYr-WUETI&w=560&h=345]
