McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder TVC


If you compare this Double Quarter TVC with the Spicy Chicken Burger TVC from my yesterday's post, you will find the styles of communication are very different. Apparently MCD is applying one brand identity to all stores and a different one to the specific 24-hours stores. is this the right thing to do ? It somehow violates the rule of consistency in brand building. Ok, you may say it has been that inconsistent for ages, why does it remain the most powerful brand in HK ? Well, while a brand takes decades to build, the brand value built up also takes ages to erode. Also, the erosion is not obvious if there is no consistent competitor in the market. In the past there was no MOS, Triple-O and so on. Now even Burger King has re-entered HK. Each of them has an unique and consistent positioning. Time will tell what will happen to MCD.

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
