January 23, 2009 Leave a comment

mar roxas has a new tvc on air, this one on his effort for lower cost of medicine in the country.

piolo pascual in a Speed Babad ad that's not up to speed

piolo pascual in a Speed Babad ad that's not up to speed

what a waste of advertising money!
piolo pascual a top matinee idol commands 7 figure talent fees for ads. wellmade, makers of Speed Babad did not make good on their money in this tv spot of piolo that has nothing well-made about it.
if you look at that ad, piolo actually looks stupid in it. his role in the ad was well just a pretty face. it did not involve any acting, very few lines and no story to speak of. he did not do anything in that ad except show his face.

holistic dog food promo – fine example of tHe idiOts proMo

January 20, 2009 Leave a comment

here’s the marketing scenario : holistic dog food was out of stock from metro manila pet food stores for 3 to 4 months end last year. that means holistic’s market share plumeted to 0% market share and ill-will of buyers has increased to 1000%. all holisitc dog food buyers for sure have switched to other brands and are all angry at holistic.

holistic had a promo when they got back to re-supply the market with their dog food. this promos as we can assume with certainty is meant to get their market share up again and remove the 1000% ill-will they generated among holistic dog food buyers.

any sensible person expects a gang-bang promo, right? well, read here to find out for yourself what promo they had : http://the-wawam-file.blogspot.com/

red mobile’s launch strategy is not mobile

red-mobile

red mobile billboard at greenhills, san juan

red mobile launched last year on a best value strategy obviously going after sun cellular. sun is a far third among the big 3 mobile service providers which offer unlimited texting and calls to other sun subscribers.

we think red mobile’s brand strategy is a mess and not at all mobile to achieving its marketing goals. we think its a WAWAM!. the core thinking behind their brand strategy does not make sense. read about it here: http://the-wawam-file.blogspot.com/

launched in WAWAM! today, tHe idiOts proMo! read about it here: http://the-wawam-file.blogspot.com/

we have all encountered these consumer promotions launched by brands that when we get to know about it, we shake our head and think for ourselves – why the hell will i want to buy that product?

consumer promotions are supposed to entice consumers to buy the product. it’s supposed to increase sales. but there are just some consumer offers that it will take hell to freeze before you bite into it.

apple vs microsoft war part II : windows 7, the best windows ever

January 13, 2009 Leave a comment

battle lines have been drawn. microsoft ceo steve ballmer announced at CES that windows 7, the savior of the vista failure, will be microsoft’s best windows ever.

that can only mean apple will be ready to take windows to battle again in an advertising war. vista’s over-all and enduring failures have allowed apple to come up with a long lost of ads that resulted to the windows brand image tainted and macs selling much more than previous.

all the mac ads were fun to watch, like the one below.

it will not only be the launch of windows 7 that is highly anticipated, it will also be the launch of new ads from apple.

smart telco’s “wrong send” tv ad – the wrong ad for brand building

January 13, 2009 Leave a comment

smart has this funny tv ad, wrong send, where it shows people how it is very important to be careful in sending texts to people – they just might end up in someone else’s cellphone.

while it is an interesting ad, one wonders why do it at all and spend the time and money when it does not build brand equity nor does it build sales.
