Open Happiness (Coca-Cola Christmas add)

The Holidays are coming!

This 2010 Coca-Cola Christmas advert is called Snow Globes, even though is not the "classic" delivery-truck-with-lights commercial we used to see in the 90's, it still adds that concept -- which I love, since for me seeing those lighted vehicles go by is a simile of "let's start the Christmas season" (pop culture quote and pause here please).

So, you'll see how in a town (like this), inside a snow globe, its inhabitants experience the spectacular to the magic of Christmas Eve, by the means --of course-- of Father Christmas shaking the artifact, while drinking a Coke (and everyone noticing because of the "fizz"). Featuring Train's "Shake Up Christmas", this is an add that I pretty much won't get tired to watch...

Anyhow, enjoy the video... Most likely I'll post some more in the coming days (let me just surf a little for that).

Meanwhile: the Holidays are coming! ♫

2 Rules for Successful Presentations

Presentations go wrong for various reasons, but the most common is poor preparation. These two rules will make sure you're ready before you step in:

1- KNOW your audience.
Speeches are about the audience, not the presenter. Be sure to know who you're addressing; size, attitudes, and emotional state of your audience should affect the length, style, and content of your presentation.

2- Tell them ONE thing.
It's sad but, audience members remember very little of what they hear. Keep it simple: focus on one idea and eliminate everything that doesn't support that idea.
