Memo to Paul Coble

2010-10-20 - byGary Pearce

I don’t care for Paul Coble’s politics, but I like him personally. So I’m giving him some advice about his TV ads: lose the rich furnishings.

I regret I don’t have a link to the ads. Couldn’t find it anywhere.

The ads are short – maybe 10 or 15 seconds. Paul is talking to camera in what looks like his den or living room.

Unfortunately, the furniture, paintings, etc. fairly scream: “I’m a rich guy!” They all have an old-money feel to them.

Great setting for a Ralph Lauren commercial. Not so good for today’s political climate.
