I see a lot of "providing solutions" which should be reserved for chemical companies.
Oh god, this. anything that has the word solutions in the slogan or company name. Just awful meaningless dribble.

Unless, as above, it is a purveyor of dilute chemicals in solvent.
Could be worse - the could provide 'turnkey solutions'.

Please fk off over there and when you get there, fk off a bit more!

..and I'm in marketing! It's my life long aim to cut out all this bks.

Many, many years ago the marketing team came up with a corporate strapline of: The Image of the Future.

It didn't take long for a picture of one of the genus Fuchsia with a suitably modified tagline underneath to appear on the notice board. smile

Nor for said picture to be removed by Management. hehe

I can't recall the haulier, but there is one round here with the strapline "Delivering Transportation Solutions".

I would have that having Hauliers in the name would have covered that.

Cat-Size - See their light.

From the Apprentice.

Still running with his Cat-Size brand, Glenn comes up with the slogan “Cat-Size. See their light.” It’s a play on words, innit? Light as in the light reflecting off cat’s eyes. Light as in what the cats will be after losing weight eating their product.

Just to show that this isn't a new phenomenon, let's not forget the old Horse & Hound strap-line;

"I freely admit that the best of my fun, I owe it to the Horse & Hound"

I always used to like the signs that read: Lancashire, the place where everyone matters". They're replaced it with some st about careful driving now.

It probably meant something in the nineties. To me it now means make the interior of the car nice to touch, but fk the oily bits.

There's a bar in Hong Kong with a strap line under the sign of:

The premier destination with an upscale vibe.

Whatever the fk that means.

Why would a public service need a strap line!?!
Ridiculous isn't it.

Of course many public services need to emphasise their position and create good PR. In the case of the police it may actually reduce crime if PR is successful. But a strapline isn't needed to achieve this.

'Advancement through technology', Id say this is one of the best out there, They have also stuck with it for a lot longer than most rather than keep changing there slogan.
