HSBC Campaign


No one would miss the latest campaigns or campaign platform that has been used by HSBC for building corporate image and communicating various products and services. It's rather philosophical. Some "half full, half empty" kind of philosophy telling us there can be two different points of view on the same thing. This platform is quite campaignable, I have to say but it much depends who we are talking to. For average consumers, it could be too hard to comprehend. Of course for those highly educated, intelligent consumers, it's not an issue. The problem is that they use the platform for literally everything in an unsegmented way.

I think i appeals to the engineering ppl cuz they can related better to the so called "variants" linked to what HSBC say haha. But on a serious note, I think this campaign is rather boring, neutral yet so what damaging to a certain extend cuz it looks rather uncorporate thus not so professional result in a insurance brand image. I personally dun think a insurance image is good for a global major bank.

Giordano's frog

Image
One student asked me why Giordano re-uses its frog logo from ages ago. I said I know don't know. Really ! Giordano is a value-for-money brand. If it prints its logo onto the T-shirts and jeans, be it the frog or anything that says "Giordano", will sales increase ? Probably not. Giordano is a brand you wear but you don't want to admit. It's not a brand like Nike or LV that can uplift your image after all. So if it puts the frog back onto its product, there may be adverse effect on its sales. I haven't visited its store at the time of writing but according to its website, it hasn't added back the frog to its products. I wouldn't do that either. So what is the point of having the frog back in its print and advertising materials ? To remind us of its good old days ?

Support the 2012 constitutional package !

Will you be more inclined to support the 2012 constitutional package after watching this ad ? It just provokes more criticisms. Advocacy advertising is an two-edge sword and it's not easy to handle. When done badly, it would only work against you. Advertising is considered not so credible and using advertising to advocate an issue would easily attract more rejections and cynicism. Our government should learn more from the political advertising in countries like the US and the UK . They have one common characteristic, that is, emotional appeal.

HKET fan page

Image
Ask yourself as a FB user or a user of any social media : under what circumstances would you share a page, a video or any news ? Either you find it useful or funny for others to enjoy. So in this case, if you don't find the HKET page useful, you just won't share it. Would such lucky draw boost the number of people sharing the page ? Some people may be attracted but I suspect most of us won't really bother. Try paying people to become a fan of your page ? You will need to pay more. LOL
