味千烏賊拉麵 TV ad


When I saw the 味千烏賊拉麵 TV ad featuring 吳卓羲, funny dance and Hip Hop music , I thought it was another "3" Muse music phone TV ad . At least in the first 25", I didn't know it was about 拉麵 at all. The execution styles is very similar to the "3" TV ad too. I wonder whether the two companies used the same agency or same director. The strangest thing is that they spent the costs of 吳卓羲, TV production and TV media to promote a bowl of 拉麵 that is priced at HK$36 only. How do they justify that ? Ok we can argue the investment was to build image and create excitement. Then the investment might have gone down to the drain because of the similarity with "3".

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 ?

HKET fan page

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
