Masterminds

This ad puzzles me as I don't know what it is trying to sell. Out of curiosity, I visited its website. Hosted by 甘國亮, it is a sharing platform for different 名嘴名人 in different areas of expertise. That's an interesting idea but the whole thing is like a self-promotion website of Mr. Kam projecting himself as the mastermind of the masterminds. Yuck! What also puzzles me is whether there is any commercial intention behind this thing. Samsung is the sponsor (although I don't know why). Other than that, I don't see any ad or product promotion in the website. How could it be financed ? Is it just a platform for good cause by Mr. Kam ? I wonder.

well.. I did find a TVC on that website, seems that Mr. Kam is the spokeperson of Samsung i718. but even in the TVC, I also didn't see any link btw Mr Kam's website and the phone.. it seems like an ad for the website and just weakly linked to the phone with a slogan "前進創意有機平台" which u can say it's descibing both the website and the phone, if u want to.. =P.. anyway.. i strongly agree with ur 'Yuck!' for Mr. Kam..

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

Image
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
