Ad campaigns

Ads are SO annoying. That's part of what's great about not watching cable TV. Or at least having a DVR so you can record everything and then fast forward through all the commercials. It's also what I love about Sirius XM radio. NO ads! 

All of that being said, there have been some pretty great ad campaigns. How about, What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. That was brilliant! Budweiser has had some awesome ad campaigns too. Remember those frogs?! Or Spud McKenzie?! And who can forget the GEICO caveman ads!

Many years ago, I started hearing these radio ads about Michigan. They're FANTASTIC! Seriously. They make me want to go to Michigan. They made/make me smile every single time I hear one. If you've never heard one, pick a couple of these and listen to them. You won't be sorry.

Now for the funny part...I suck at voices, picking them out. I'm also no good at knowing who sings the songs I love. I never pay attention to that. So last year I heard a new Michigan radio ad and decided I just had to know who the voice behind those ads is. If you've heard them, you probably already know...I'm so dense sometimes. But if you don't know, you would be completely surprised!

I'll tell you in the comments  :-)
