Mirama Shopping Centre

Keep eyes open is headline. Definitely your eyes turn wide open when you see this ad of Mirama Shopping Centre. An eye-ball in the mouth. I always try to keep an open mind but this is just too scary. You may say it's a visual art and yes it's a visual art for selling a horror movie. Imagine what if we turn this visual into a poster and hang it over the shopping centre. We can turn the shopping centre into a house of horror. Halloween is still another ten months away !

but i think it is quite creative and at least not many shopping mall can allow to do this. So it maybe serve some kind of attention from the public to talk about and actually for me, at first i do not really know that the eye is in the mouth until you tell me...haha...quite interesting , can make some noise i think..

The argument is that creativity is a given in advertising. Yes, it grabs attention and it's creative. But advertising is also a communication vehicle where creativity should help to send a specific message. Creative for creative sake is just not good enough.

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
