Write about an advertisement that you have enjoyed or that has persuaded you to buy the product. What
do you think makes it memorable: humor, originality, the use of famous actors or personality, endless
repetition, nudity or other elements?

With the rapid emergence of industries nowadays, there is a variety of advertisement that we see not only
on TV but also on social media, posters or through radio, magazines. Some of them are very boring,
banal and irritating while others are creative, informative and fascinating. One such advertisement that I
really liked a long time ago was called “Dream Crazy” of Nike which is a shoe brand. “ Dream Crazy”
focuses on a collection of stories of many athletes. In this film, I have a chance to meet incredible athletes:
a 29-year-old basketball phenomenon and wheelchair athlete, a teenage girl who was born without legs ,
and the additional appearance of world champions and other great athletes. I was attracted by the
appearance of a great number of athletes from normal people to celebrity ones. However, the most
memorable thing that the advertisement gave me is the meaningful lesson that taught not only me but
also everyone else watching it already. “Dream Crazy” provides encouragement to everyone who has
crazy dreams and goals that may seem unsurmountable. What makes this advertisement great is the
powerful quote: “Believe in something even if it means sacrificing everything”. Every word, every moment
in the ad contain profound lesson and they all left a deep impression on me. No matter how many times I
watched this commercial, it still got me shivering. I still wonder how an advertisement can be so related to
a person’s journey and give much more value than just a shoe. I admire and respect Nike because they
can create such an incredible advertisement. In my opinion, it is not just a commercial, it is an inspiring
life lesson that everyone should know about it and learn it.
