Getting Your Message Across

[Glassman]

Just needs the right and most effective message delivered in the right places by a good carrier, right?

You decide here

I'm very confused by that site. Is it yours?

I don't really get what that message is trying to say. Plus took me a couple of seconds to realise there was more than just that annoying flash message, that you could scroll down.

I closed the site as soon as the loud mouth started his rant. Sites like that not good in an office environment IMHO.

[Glassman]

No, not my site, but someone (yes, in marketing!) on a biz forum was banging on about it.

For me, it was more like a TV advert and although I watched it through, didn't really do it for me.

I looked at this shortly after you posted, but didn’t respond as I thought it may go away quietly.

This type of campaign is the kind of creative that agencies love and makes Marketing Directors (as clients – not the audience) feel important, not to mention some justification of their spend without any decent method of accountability.

IIRC from this morning, that was designed by JWT to Marketing Directors – double love – I think the hook was, big marketing types go for this sort of thing, you’re not, but want to be – let us make you feel small, and us important and we may pick up a few numpties with bigish budgets but no clue.

Or, it may be perfectly targeted to the audience; marketing types love this type of rubbish and often don’t understand why no one else does.

Maybe that’s why they’re only in position for 13-14 months as the advert says

• **ing awful.

If that is an example of their marketing work, I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.

IMHO that is the epitome of how not to market something. The irony is if that were a client's job they would have used every cliched over the top visual and wasted a good chunk of money on Alexei Sayle to say nothing, waste a minute of viewers lives, and finally loudly repeat very NSFW language in something which is obviously meant to be viewed in the workplace.

Awful...

I hated it. I only managed about 30 seconds though, maybe it got better?

Can't stand adverts that print every word on the screen. I'm not deaf.

I'd rather see My Sayle in person (but he'd charge more for presenting as opposed to VO, and captions are free)
