Crown Macau TVC featuring 周潤發


Long time no see 周潤發 on TVC. Not too many brands or companies could afford him nowadays. When I saw the ad, I was wondering what he is advertising about. I thought it was another residential estate TVC as it does look like one. It only unveils Crown Macau at the end. 賭神 ! It's quite a fit. The overall execution is meant to convey class and style but somehow I find it too dark and gloomy. The hair style of Mr. Chow is a bit funny too. StarWorld uses 梁朝偉 and now Crown uses 周潤發. It seems that Casinos in Macau are competing on the celebrities they use. They actually remind me of the telecom ads in the past. Will other casinos use even bigger celebrities to compete ? Let's see.

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
