Meaningless company slogans

[Foliage]

None of it means anything its just marketing.

All the 'green' credentials and any of that 'ethical' stuff is just marketing. Look deep into any company and you will find the real corporate culture/practices

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.

I've seen that one, I half expect them to rock up, open the doors and start unloading scooters, or bikes.


My bugbear, "people rule"
Yes and so what.

"Treating customers fairly"

• interpretation of fairly may vary.

From The Independent:

Belfast: The new Berlin

Leeds. Live it. Love it

Nottinghamshire: 'N'

Donegal: 'Up here it's different'

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

How about Turkey Solutions...?

There's a series of vans that I see around here that I keep thinking are a landscaping company like my firm. The van has a picture of a tree on it, and the slogan is something like "where people flourish". Ah here we are:





As far as I can tell they provide building maintenance services, but all their vans are covered in these daft slogans about how lovely they are to their staff, rather than offer any clue on what they actually do.

We have a bakery in Ireland called Brennans. Their slogan for some time now has been "Today's bread, today".

I'm bemused. I don't think most people want yesterday's.

I miss Brennan's bread.

Albeit not a company, Plymouth was branded "Spirit of Discovery" in 1996. This was widely adjusted on the signs by the locals to "Spirit of Disco" a possibly more apt tagline. For years visitors to the city were greeted with that announcement in large font as they approached on the A38. Since then there's been a great deal more pissing about: http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/Plymouth-rebranded... which just goes to show that the ability of local politicians to piss away citizens' hard earned taxes is the one of the few things that endure over time.

Different from what, exactly?

Bud Light in the US has the strapline when sponsoring sporting events "Bud Light, the perfect beer for whatever happens".

I think it's come in for some stick for;
a) being st and lazy
b) some believe it's promoting rape (not so sure how)

My best bet is that they are very involved in property maintenance for a Housing Association or similar.

A few people I know have started to take the p out of stupid job titles recently. They have decided to take on their own and now we have the following:-

Head of Values
Head of Better
Head of Diversity, Improvement, Collaboration and Kindness (work it out )
Head of Visions

We are working on a few others...

'Vorsprung durch Technik'

'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.

Must admit I've always thought it was an excellent slogan. 'Progress through technology' written in German - describes the brand perfectly.

Some of the others on here are classics though!

I obscured the company name so people can guess their function.

Go on then, what the hell is it?
