ABSOLUT AFRICA!


About those Absolut vodka ads…the culture jammers. So, culture jamming generally is a form of disruption that plays on the emotions of viewers and bystanders. Jammers want to disrupt the unconscious thought process that takes place when most consumers view a popular advertising and bring about a dĂ©tournement. Activists that utilize this tactic are counting on their meme to pull on the emotional strings of people and evoke some type of reaction. (you could look it up for further understanding)

The most effective form of jamming is to use an already widely recognizable meme to transmit the message. Once viewers are forced to take a second look at the mimicked popular meme they are forced out of their comfort zone. Viewers are presented with another way to view the meme and forced to think about the implications presented by the jammer. looking at this you sort of get the drill..The Absolut Aspen 




So the topic caught my eye..and I later looked it up…absolut paris,absolutAmsterdam, absolut Bangkok..etc.Absolut Africa?...Absolut Africa?..no results.okkkkaay…it not a bad thing not to advertise alcohol in africa but hey…we were left out..so on impulse,I came up with this roughly 5mins…and I have put it up.If I find time I could work on something thought about for longer but for now this one works just fine ..hopefully Absolut Africa will pop up on google. :/ LOL
