IBM 307: HW 1 1. This campaign is extremely cute but that’s all that it is. The idea of getting the culprit to speak about his recipe of the best mud pie is similar to mothers reviling their best recipes. I enjoyed it but I believe there is something missing after the video ends. The first TVC with the boy with the blue shirt is adorable and his voice is cute but is hard to configure what he is trying to convey. It took a while for me to understand what he was trying to say but I kept watching the
