Maggi Sauce


I talked about this shrimp dumpling ad of Maggi Sauce before. The creative platform is very campaignable : "bringing out the soul of the food". Now that there is a new squid version. Which version is stronger ? I think the shrimp dumpling is stronger. Visually, you can't easily recognise it is a slice of squid that is held by the chopsticks and the smoke image of the squid is not quite "obvious" too. What's more, the shrimp dumpling version is a truer representation of the creative platform that generates imagination.

It's not easy after all. Even if we have a campaignable idea, it's always difficult to come up with versions that are of equal strengths.

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
