These high scores draw clarity that their audience was able to understand the message. The portrayal of Will Ferrel as the lead and usage of the hit song also impacted the high scores of their ad. Although, with Attention (14.68) and Percentage seen (12.69) hitting the low margin, the ad serves to minor shortcomings. The ad's low Attention and Percentage Seen scores suggest that it may not be visually engaging enough to capture and retain viewers' interest.
Pacing: The ad's pacing might be a bit slow in some parts, potentially losing viewer interest. This could be avoided by trimming down certain parts of the ad or speeding up the cuts to enhance the viewer’s interest.
