What is Russia? Light solutions ad?


Nice advertising for a light solutions company. The goal was obviously to create a buzz. I think they have done a good job in making Russia incomprehensible enough, and maybe a little too much. But the idea with the Matrioshka Russian symbol and all the clichés make this ad very funny and attractive. One point, nevertheless: I did not catch company main business, for me it was a consultancy for foreign business implementation in Russia... Maybe I'm not the right audience?..

    Nice video. They created a buzz definitely, I even shared it and posted it on my blog on Russia (among other things): http://tiny.cc/aaynb
    I fully agree with you: impossible to fathom the real nature of their business, except if your read "lighting solutions". But at the end, you come up with remembering the video, not the brand, so I think it's not that good

    Many marketers around the world make this mistake too often - making ads enterteining and funny, but this will not generate any sales, especially if the ad has little relation to the brand

    P.S. I thought they're a consulting company that helps foreign brands enter the russian market
