Commercial of the Week Via "AdWeek's Top 10 Commercials of the Week"

This week in commercials were all great. They were bursting with creativity. I couldn't choose my favorite. But to pick one, I'll choose the Pepsi Max "Mirrors" featuring their new spokesmodel, Beyonce:


I absolutely love me some Beyonce, but the reason I picked this once isn't because I thought it was the best. Yes, it was a great commercial. The nostalgia of Beyonce's career was on point. But is this a commercial for Mrs. Carter's upcoming tour, or for Pepsi Max? It doesn't make me want to go buy a Pepsi Max, but it does inspire me to buy tickets for her concert.

Every few years Pepsi has a big name performer as the face of the brand. They shell out millions of dollars for their contract, but for what? They are still number 2, behind Coke. If you ask me, this does more for Beyonce's career then Pepsi's.
