I thought they made it at first I know this is old but I literally just saw this ad for the first time and oh my god this is like every bad "HEY KIDS SMOKING IS WHACK" presentation you were forced to watch in school. Also is beard man the guy who makes Epic Meal Time because the idea of someone who's livelihood is devouring bacon woven fast food Frankenstein creations lecturing about health is adorable.

For years, I feared the Grandpa Simpsons prophecy of "I used to be with it, until they changed what it was. Now what I am with isn't it and what is it seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to you!" Now that I've reached that phase in life, turns out I'm completely cool with it because if that's what It is, I don't want to have anything to do with It.

CapnAndy posted:What kills me is that the start of the ad is really, really good. Like, just show the girls on the bus playing Tinder, and they see the cute guy with the kitten, and then "...oh, wait, is that a cigarette? Hahahaha no" and they swipe left and then keep on going and the ad fades out? That's a really effective ad. This Is A Dealbreaker And Cute Girls Will Laugh At You would work. Yea just that bit is a good ad. Hey people tend to not like smokers in relationships, if you smoke some cute girl may be all 'nah I'm not gonna gently caress a dude that reeks like smoke' and that'd suck right?' Probably not that effective but it's not like Beard Man Who Eats Bacon For A Living Yelling LEFT SWIPE THAT is effective either.

On the new Pop Tart commercial, with the two grown-up Pop Tarts looking through the window at their baby, does anybody else here think the mom is going to say, "He so has your penis!" instead of "peanut butter"? I know I'm not the only one on the internet, because I Googled it to see if this is just a weird Freudian thing with me.

This one's been around for awhile, but the Diet Coke commercial with the song "You're so cute, I want to wear you like a suit, I think you'd look pretty good on me" repeating. That song is so creepy.

I honestly think that if Coke stopped advertising they wouldn't lose a single cent and in fact might make a lot of money from not having to advertise. They could take a year off anyway without it affecting their market share I think. Obviously the fine people at Coke know a lot better than me though.

There's three things in this country that do not need to advertise: Coke, McDonald's, and Jesus. Yet for some reason they must. Pretty sure everyone has heard of them and their product.

It sounds like what you would hear before Buffalo Bill tells you to put the lotion in the basket.

Timett posted:But did they go down $600m or whatever they spend in advertising in a year. Ever heard of Moxie soda? It was a soda so popular and ad campaign so ubiquitous that its name is an English word for daring and had presidents declaring it their favored drink and was #1 in the US for decades. In the 1930s they decided to heavily reduce advertising assuming everyone would still buy it in order to use those savings to expand their sugar reserves. Sales declined so sharply during that period that they fell behind Coke and Pepsi, by the 1960s it appearing as a background joke in Mad Magazine caused a 10% sales spike and by today you'd be hard pressed to find a bottle of it almost anywhere in the country.

Interesting. Fair enough. I want to reiterate that I did admit from the start that they probably knew a lot better than me on this one but it sure is hard to believe. Isn't the Coke logo one of the most recognizable images in the world or some poo poo

If you don't continuously update your image to be hip and with-it and keeping your target audience thinking about you as much as possible, then somebody else will and you'll be old news.

If they ever had, it's got to be super obscure. Coke has been obliterating Pepsi in sales for years, so there's not much point in it. Coke outsells Pepsi like 2 to 1. They're almost not even competing any more. Hell diet Coke outsells regular Pepsi.

I'm the director of marketing for an upscale independent hotel, and a nearby competitor just completed a massive remodeling and renovation last year. We also just re-did our lobby and restaurant, but the question I'm always asked by reporters is, "Did you do this in response to <Hotel XYZ>?" "No, the lobby and restaurant renovation was the culmination of a multi-year project that began in 2012 as part of our continued commitment to ensure that our facilities match our impeccable level of service. We wish our friends over there the very best." Timby fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Feb 23, 2015 |

The Fiji water ads annoy me for two reasons. One, that kid's voice. Two, this "bottled at the source / untouched by man" bullshit. This cannot be true and it just makes me curious what precise weaseling they're doing with those terms. Like at the very least, even if you get water from a spring, you have to do something to make sure it's free of anything hazardous. Like this could literally just mean that the employees at the bottling plant aren't dipping their hands in it. You still have to decontaminate.
