How to Write Great Reviews

Be Specific

Provide detailed examples and explain your ratings. Instead of 'bad ad', explain what didn't work.

Stay Balanced

Mention both positives and negatives. Even great ads can improve, and weak ads may have redeeming qualities.

Be Respectful

Critique the advertisement, not the people. Keep your tone professional and constructive.

Add Context

Include relevant media when possible. Screenshots or links help others understand your perspective.

Example of a Quality Review

Nike "Just Do It" Campaign Review

What Worked:

The emotional storytelling really resonated with me. Seeing everyday athletes overcome challenges made the brand feel accessible and inspiring. The cinematography was excellent, especially the slow-motion sequences that highlighted determination.

What Could Improve:

While the message was powerful, I felt the 30-second format was too short to fully develop the narrative. A longer format might have allowed for deeper emotional connection. Also, the product placement felt slightly forced in the final scene.

Overall Impact:

This ad successfully motivated me to consider Nike products for my fitness goals. The inclusive casting and universal message of perseverance align well with current social values. Rating: 4/5
