Versa's Holiday Favorites!

Holiday ads are at their best when they makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.  People pay special attention to ads at Christmas because everyone has a little spare time to look online for the perfect Christmas gift.

With the presidential race heating up, it’s only natural that ads are sure to follow; and we’re not just talking about campaign commercials! June has seen the presence of ads for two companies expressing some apparently polarizing political views.  Whether these brands and their marketing gurus meant to stir up some sentiment, both positive and negative, is unsure, but the result is still the same: people vowing to eat more Oreos or Denny’s and others calling for boycotts! This Monday, Oreo posted a very symbolic-looking cookie on...
