Google Chrome's Emotional Ad
Google Chrome's ads have always been great, but this one is probably the only Google ad that could make you cry. It's a story about a father that emails his daughter photos and videos with her happy moments as she grows up. He uses Google services like Gmail, Picasa Web and YouTube, but the ad is not only about Chrome or Google: "the web is what you make of it".

Yep - I cried. As a father of two beautiful girls, 3.5yrs and 5mos, it's impossible not to. Well done, Google.
ReplyDeleteI feel you, anon. I personally fell short of tears. On the other hand, I confess I felt my heart strings tugged.
ReplyDeleteHomerun, Google and unknown ad agency. You knocked this one out of the park!

ReplyDeletePlease never write that again. Knowing that I already cried watching Google Search Stories, I knew this wasn't going to end well. I had tears in my eyes right off the bat.
how is it called an extension +1
ReplyDeletei did not find this emotional at all, i found it to be a good advert though, if anything this should help google attract new customers to services like google mail
ReplyDeleteExcept that chrome is not that old...
ReplyDelete@Hari. What are you talking about? Chrome is older than Atari . . .
ReplyDeleteNice Cute Baby. I really cried after seeing this ad
ReplyDeletei found it to be a good advert though,if anything this should help google attract new customers to services like google mail??
ReplyDeleteGreat ad google...very emotional...one of the few 'real' ads which is probably the best way to sell anything!!!
ReplyDeleteso how did he email his daughter? google has age restrictions on email account creation....
ReplyDeleteHow on earth was this emotional.
ReplyDeleteI also want to know how he emailed his daughter when you cannot get an email address from GMail for anyone younger than 13!!!! This makes a mockery of the whole ad. How can I email my daughter or son all the wonderful pictures and stories of them growing up when they can't have an email address. Ridiculous. G mail needs to find a way to provision for young people to email their grandparents and other family members with pictures and stories. My oldest is 6 and he can write so why can't he email ? Can he only use snail mail till he is 13?? Google...your ad is misleading at the least.
ReplyDelete13. It's the law. Google didn't make that up. :(
