AFLAC
Recently, I was asked to write a paper on AFLAC and talk about the following questions. How some viewers don’t like the AFLAC ads and can an ad still accomplish its intended purposes if people find it annoying? The AFLAC campaign is more than four years old. In your opinion, will the campaign stay effective for the foreseeable future? And finally, what makes AFLAC ads so effective? Is it something more than their entertainment value? If so, what else contributes to their success? While I was working on the paper, I found it very interesting and yet amusing as to how this all came about.
