The latest ING TVC


無厘頭 in advertising is back ! This TVC reminds me of the Sunday TVCs in the past. The kind that you either hate it or love it. Yes, it's creative for creative sake but undoubtedly it's catchy and interesting to watch. "吓, 咁都得 ?" is the usual response. I'm aware that it creates quite a bit of talkabouts on the net and it's a success already. There aren't too many ads worth talking about and remembered anyway. Putting aside the wacky execution, I wonder why it uses 無敵鐵金剛 as the creative entry point. This drama series was from the 80's (?). Only the old guys like me would find it funny but the new generations may not be able to associate.

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.

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
