Art of Commercials



Just watched 3 shows of Art of Commercials at the Arts Centre last weekend. Here is a Coke ad in the show I like so much. This year I find The UK ads are not as good as they used to be somehow. Kind of disappointing. Thai ads are very entertaining and Japanese ads always have an unique culture. Some of the ads are big productions and obviously they are the global brands we all know. The Addidas campaign is particularly impressive. It features a few sports stars including David Bechkham who tell their encounters and struggles before becoming sports stars. They are asked to do drawings and art pieces to express their stories bringing out the theme - Impossible is nothing. Too bad I can't find it from YouTube. So here is the last chance to see it. The show is ending this weekend :

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
