BC vs Ontario vs Quebec - The great Olympic ad battle
2/18/2010 at 5:24 PM
Anyone watching the Olympics will have seen commercials from each of these three provinces running in fairly heavy rotation.. in particular BC and Ontario.
BC is running an ad that uses star power of a number of local people to highlight some of their stronger points.
Ontario's ad has a little more musical integration, while trying to sell us on the idea of good times and sightseeing in their province (sidenote.. I think that's Brandon's Luke McMaster singing for much of the ad?)
Quebec I haven't seen quite as often, but are also running an ad aimed at improving their tourism prospects. With Quebec being one of only two province I haven't been to, there are some shots they show of their province that really open my eyes to what they have.
In your opinion, which province comes out on top in their advertising? (Please try to compare on commercials only.. you could argue that Vancouver hosting the olympics is an ad for BC in itself)
