Every day the news brings us more information on the financial crisis, the relentless recession and government debt. The banks are still in trouble, the high streets are struggling and everyone has a new appreciation for the job they’ve got.
What that’s spawned in the following two ads is interesting. They’re reflecting people that are resourceful, living in the moment, coping with what their dealt and still enjoying their lives.
These ads aren’t about whether you can buy a new car or even get a phone right now. They embrace life, encourage our resolve and speak to our spirit.
Nokia gives us a great ad with the opening “Tomorrow the sun will rise and set, the rest is up for grabs.”
Chrysler brings us a noble and inspiring ad for battered Detroit and America’s struggling auto industry.

Love, love, love the Nokia ad. Every scene very clever. The hot guy swinging the baseball bat doesn’t hurt either.
Thanks for writing Kathy, you are definitely enjoying the moment! Thanks for writing.
