Lenovo Laptop ad


Slimming houses over-use celebrities but at least the celebrities they use are associative with the services they provide. Slim pretty movie/TV stars are aspirational to customers who wants to look slim and pretty. In this case, Lenovo uses Ronaldinho to endorse its laptop. I would call it a misuse. Ronaldinho is good soccer player for sure but what does he have to do with laptop ? None. Is it relevant ? Who is the target audience ? In the ad, it looks like they are targeting at business users and an attempt is made to associate the speed and accuracy of Ronaldinho with the laptop in question. It's not really convincing at all. If not Ronaldinho and we want to associate with soccer/world cup with celebrity, who do we use for computer ? One suggestion is to use the coach of the team saying he uses the laptop to analyse data, make field decisions, blah, blah blah. You may argue the coach of Brazil team, Dunga, is not a well-known celebrity. I'm not a soccer fan, sorry....

Giordano's frog

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
