Classified Post TVC


Technology has the power to change consumer behaviour. Internet breeds new brands that provide better solution to our lives. Classified Post was the market leader in premium job advertising. 米報, we call it. I suspect jobsdb.com is now the leader in job advertising. Providing various helpful functions for employers and job-seekers, it wins with technologies. The battlefield is Internet but funny that Classified Post is still advertising about the "hard copy". As for the ad itself, playing on superstition is not a compelling idea. Yet the whole execution is a flop. I bet it intends to save a bit of money. It's a 15-second ad and it's just to short to build the drama. The production looks too cheap to target premium job seekers. And worse still, the idiotic act of the leading actor is alienating premium job-seekers.

I agree. It is so low-end that I associate the ad with Recruit immediately. A bad ad for Classified Post.

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
