OgilvyOne Manila : PR 101- lesson #1 in public relations

it’s a good idea to have your boss, the president of asia pacific to get press time. it gives exposure to the company and maybe get new accounts, build confidence of current clients and of course  build a closer relationship with your boss. the last one in particular is always a good thing.

the other part of it is – when you call a press conference featuring the president of asia pacific, your boss, you better make sure everything goes right. and making sure everything goes well begins with the most important and the first item in your to-do-list : CHOOSE THE TOPIC OR MESSAGE OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE VERY VERY WELL.

is gma7, philippine television network teaching filipino audience the wrong habit?

a tv station gets it’s revenues from tv advertising aired in it’s tv programs. and tv stations just like advertisers and advertising agencies like to have as many viewers possible. we want the audience to develop the habit of regurly watching tv programs and hopefully the tv ads we load into them. but with gma7’s commercial load, is this tv station teaching the tv audience the wrong habit? is the goose that’s laying the golden egg getting smothered to death?

who wants a sad face on Jollibee?

logos are very important to a brand, it’s the “face” of the brand  to consumers. we want them to remember how it looks like all the time and we don’t want them confused. also, the face of our brands, the logo, communicates our brand values. they stand for something and that something is the brand equity.

the jollibee logo has two parts – the name and the face of Jollibee. but who put a sad face to jollibee? and who wants a sad face on jollibee? read about it in WAWAM! http://the-wawam-file.blogspot.com/

condoms can be funny too

this is an interesting print ad for a condom. there’s also a funny condom tv commercial in WAWAM! check it out here –> http://the-wawam-file.blogspot.com/

i think it will be great to have a condom maker client. i agree that you need to inject humor into it, make it fun and light. you can’t talk blatantly about sex, but you know you need to imply it or touch on it ever so slightly and to do that, humor can be the panacea.

Tiger, The Impossible wins the 2008 US Open

was there even a doubt that Tiger, The Impossible will win the 2008 US Open?

true to the WAWAM! tagline for brand tiger woods, Tiger, The Impossible won in a way only he knows how – making the impossible shots possible. oh, did i mention he was having a problem with one of his legs and in constant pain for every step he took?

brand tiger woods’ tagline!

tiger woods is probably one of the most enduring, strongest brand name in all of sports history. and the beauty of it all is that he is just at his prime. he did it again today at the US Open and if he was a brand, i’d have the perfect tagline for brand tiger woods.

senator mar roxas – mr. palengke goes labandera

when elected senators appear in tv commercials of consumer products like tide detergent powder, is it an endorsement ad or is it a political ad?

the presidential election is 2 years away, in 2010 but we are already seeing a slew of tv ads for consumer products, some we use on a daily basis that feature elected senators like senator mar roxas.

in this tide detergent tv spot, mr. palengke goes labandera.

when you think of hooters, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? did hooters manila deliver?

why we hoot for the hooters girls

that’s not a trick question. it’s a legitimate marketing research question.

restaurants, even hooters have  brand equities, they have brand images. and it is that brand equity why we go to particular restaurants. we forever associate brand images to restaurants.

doughnuts – crispy creme. chicken – KFC. coffee – starbucks.

and hooters – ?

hooters = boobs!

what? boobs? is that food? well, boobs aren’t food (at least not edible) but let’s be honest here, when you say hooters, the first thing or first pair that comes to mind are female boobs. i don’t think anyone has ever said steak, ribs, soup or salad when you say the word hooters.

simply put, perhaps to annoy the feminists, big female boobs is what hooters is known for. and it is these pairs of reasons that hooter girls are famous for and most probably the most photographed waitresses in the whole world. just like the hooter girl on the picture, what she has in front of her, a pair that are proud and smart is what hooters is known for.

that’s really very hard to explain to my 10 year old son – “son, let’s have dinner at hooters, i want to look at some things.” but that’s a separate story all together.

don’t blame me, the hooters logo says the same thing, too. ok, so an owl hoots and that explains the image of the animal being there. sure, the eyes of owls are huge but the shape of the eyes and the two dots are conveniently placed in the middle of each eye and that tells us exactly what we are supposed to look at, well ok and to hoot at.
