    Questioning the Growth Dogma: A Replication Study


    Ad of the Week

    Title: Heartstrings

    Advertiser Apple

    Agency: TWBA & Media Arts LabLink: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvnJhwIwqds

    Apple had introduced their annual Holiday advertisement for the 2024 season at the end of November, titled “Heartstrings”, and it’s an unusually moving commercial that focuses on hearing loss and the hearing aids feature of AirPods Pro 2 (which happen to be hugely discounted on Amazon right now, if you’re in the market).

    In the touching and family oriented commercial, a small family is gathered around a Christmas tree opening presents, and as the father reminiscences about his daughter growing up over the years, he gets a nudge from his wife to listen to his daughter singing a rendition of “Our House” by Crosby, Stills, and Nash, where he puts in his AirPods and is able to hear her clearly.
