Colossal U Ad Campaign


A very interesting ad indeed, in my opinion I don't think it's a great thing to have everyone from that university turning out the same because it doesn't really bring out what that particular individual has to offer before. But the truth is Colossal U is not real (Thank Goodness it isn't) it's part of a campaign made by the university of Algoma, a university which is located in Sault Ste Marie. What Algoma University is trying to do is to get people looking at the made up Colossal U ad and say wow is there such thing as a University that makes you the same, others will think it's not possible, some may think they might be interested, but for those who want to look further into the ad simply because of interest they will be disappointed, they will only find out that there is a link to the Algoma University site, where they tell you it's completely different to Colossal U, and listen in to what they have to say.
My questions towards the Colossal U, what standards do you really have, since you say everyone will turn out the same like a cookie cutter cuts the dough, but for every cookie cutter there has to be a cutter base or in the human case, a main model in which students will look apron and see this is how they will look like after you finish courses in Colossal U. What exact standards do these teachers have at Colossal U? This ad was just basically a brain/ psychological game that makes you feel like you want to learn more about this interesting yet weird university. My final and personal thoughts about this advertisement is it was very successful on getting people talking about it and having people noticing it, how successful? well it was successful enough to be used as a blog topic, the ad creator must be proud to get grade 10's already talking about it.
