Bank of China Olympic themed corporate advertising




The Olympics is round the corner and it's the hype for different advertisers to try to share a slice of association with it. Official sponsors make use of it to enhance their corporate image with corporate advertising. Non-sponsors also leverage on it with sports themes of some kind to do promotions and advertise. At the end, the name of the game is creativity and money if you really want to cut through the clutter. Back to this Olympic themed corporate TVC of BOC, the idea is simple : tying the milestones of the Olympics with those of the company. Isn't it a familiar idea ? For an ad like this, you'd better put enough money behind it for achieving cut-through.

I think this BOCHK TVC is just a localized version for HK only. It should be for BOC in China. And the localization only involves turning simplified Chinese into traditional Chinese and BOCHK logo as well.The corporate identity at the last second is really odd.

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
