Megaman TVC


This Megaman TVC has been nominated in the TVB Most Popular TVC Awards. It's a brilliant TVC, straightforward, easy to understand and humourous. What if I tell you it is a very similar to an old Tuborg beer ad from Denmark ? Take a look at the TVC below. The creative idea is exactly the same. But I still do think the Megaman TVC is a brilliant one. One one hand, as marketers, we need to watch more and see more to get more inspirations and also avoid "idea twins" that could be presented to us by the agency. On the other, we should keep an open-mind. After all, any idea that hasn't been exposed or seen by our audience could be of potential to be a great creative idea. If you were the marketing director of Megaman and had seen the Tuborg TVC before, would you approve the storyboard ? I would.

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
