Analysis Apple’s Ad Campaign During London 2012

From this perspective, analyzing a topic like this should be valuable. Today, everyone have their own feels about TV commercials, whether it’s good or not, whether it attracts your attention, whether you want to get it or not after watching the ad.

Finally, I draw a conclusion that Apple should fix their campaign to keep leading in the US market.

So I put more evidences and discussions for each perspective category. This also solved the problem that I didn’t analyzed much like they said.
Additionally, some of them told us the 3rd paragraph is not necessary, relating this commercial to my major is not so effective. Then I decided to remove it in this revision of essay.
