Ad Critic
Written on September 8, 2010 – 5:18 pm | by capriciaalston
It was difficult for me to find a prominent critic in advertising, especially without choosing a specific category of advertising. There are several types of critics, and my search was too broad so I took a little different of an approach.
I searched for a site instead that informed as well as critiqued advertising as well as television and music videos. The 2 sites I found are http://creativity-online.com/, and https://advertisingcritic.wordpress.com/.
Creativity-online.com/ is extremely informative as well as up-to-date. It actually had the Cee-lo music video on there which happens to be banned or at least requiring a password on several other sites. It also provides a lot of sarcasm which I enjoy because many of the ads presented are ridiculous.
Advertisingcritic.wordpress.com/ is actually a specific person, asanchez39, who I believe has great insight on a lot of ads. This is still just a site and not only just a specific author but he/she critiques on commercials, articles, you name it. I love reading the honest truth about ads though whether sarcastic or just purely harsh, and this is exactly what asanchez39 provides.

Use the link function to create hyperlinks we don’t need to cut and paste. Seth Stevenson reviews advertising at Slate; so do critics at AdAge and other ad-related magazines. nice catch with advertisingcritic. 8/10.
Also, use tags on your blog posts. See other posts for examples.
