MasterCard TVC

There are some things money can't buy. For everything else there's MasterCard. This platform has got a good emotional appeal but just that the tagline is a bit too long. "MasterCard can buy you the priceless joy and experience", that's what it' trying to say. So it makes perfect sense to tie it with travel spending and launch a sub-brand card tailored specifically for travel - World MasterCard. Yet I find this ad is not relevant to everyone indeed. It's not for everyone. Just count the spending in the 3 scenarios... HK$1 million is spent in just 30 seconds, LOL ... yes, yes, ad should aspire... but isn't it too far-fetched ?

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
