My letter to Google


To whom it may concern,
I am writing this letter because I wanted to share how impressed I am with the quality of your commercials. I realize that the main objective for you is to make money, but the way you do it is noble and inspirational. As a Brigham Young University student, I have learned a lot about the negative effects that advertising can have on individuals and families including things like increased materialism and decreased body satisfaction for men and women. Even with my husband as an advertising major, it is sometimes hard for me to appreciate the intentions of the companies selling their products in seemingly manipulative ways. It is commercials like Parisian Love and Dear Sophie that eliminate the stigma that the advertising industry has created in my mind and allow me to see the power that advertising can have to inspire and to change for good. I also notice and appreciate the diversity you include in your advertisements that support a better view of reality.
The creativity demonstrated in these commercials and other advertising campaigns I’ve seen from Google is superior to most other media campaigns I have witnessed. I think it is the lack of creativity that brings about the inappropriate and morally degrading advertisements that are all too common in today’s world. It takes courage and dignity to rise above what is easy and to go after something difficult that can really make an impact.
I really appreciate the dedication that Google shows to promoting things that are wholesome and good. I hope that feedback such as this can prove to your company that you have the right idea of how to capture a loyal fan base while still reaching your own goals of making a profit. 
With appreciation and hope for the future,
Michelle Kemp
