Advertisement for Merriott Hotels
« on: October 28, 2024, 16:58:15 »
I recently stayed at a Merriott Hotel and the big screen TV that was in the lobby was showing Merriott Bonvoy Hotels around the world and the life style of staying at one. It played the ad over and over. The ad showed a Pagoda cabolet, top down, driving up to one of its hotels.  Guess they wanted to show the good life to own a Pagoda and to stay at a Merriott hotel l, driving with your top down and a long haired blonde sitting next to you.

Posting just for some advertising fun reading
 
Many years ago, when there were "cameras" my car was used for a Casio Camera ad/video  They wanted a "red" car to match the new model.  It was  a very interesting day on how it was done, using a green screen, and superimposing a background pix.

Notice how all the M-B logos were camouflaged.  M-B must have strict criteria
