Cathay Pacific business class TVC



I taught a class in May and a group of students picked this TVC for their group assignment. They are supposed to make comments about the ad and suggest possible improvements to it. The fact is this ad is a home run in terms of execution and message delivery. The ad starts with minimal music to catch our attention. Then the music builds up with the visual up to a dramatic climax where this executive wants get away from the hecticness. The pay-off is the warm caring face of the hostess and the comfy flat bed seat. A simple execution but we can still see the production value of it. Bravo.

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
