Thank you American Express for realizing and understanding the economic crisis many people are experiencing right now and for slapping us in the face with your little plastic card.
Starting on Thanksgiving, they’re going to start running their new ad campaign that has 4 celebrities talking about “transitional moments” in their lives and the part American Express played in it. Dave Matthews, Brian Grazer, Tina Turner, and (my personal favorite) Gwyneth Paltrow will tell you how great their lives are and how having their AmEx card completes them.
Brian Grazers spot:
| “As much as you believe in yourself, you need to have somebody believe in you,” said Brian Grazer. “I remember feeling that having my American Express Card was like having an ally, validating my hope and confidence.” |
If this were your average guy on the street, the quote would be something like this:
“As much as you believe in yourself, you need to have somebody believe in you,” said Joe Jones. “I remember feeling that having my American Express Card was like having an ally, as I used it to cut that coke one last time before I slit my wrists with the card before my bills came due and they took my house.”
Nice Timing!
