I understand the brand awareness and to talk about them is to do some of the job, but with brand value being so important too much damaging talk is not good for the brand
As an existing t-mobile customer it grates me when I see the collective karoake style flash mob ads
I think anything that tries to advertise the shared experience - be part of this brand experience idea... I think LG are so far off the mark with their free spirit concept ads at the mo - it's a TV, not an alternative life and I need a pretty ordinary life bringing in money to afford the LG product
Love Apple - nothing to do with their advertising and everything to do with my perception/experience of the product I use every since 97
Whereas Audi is an odd one to like given I've never owned a car - that brand awareness has captured me
Knowing I'm susceptible doesnt make me anymore immune... Condor vs Raliegh.... could be spec for spec the same bike but I'd choose Condor... and that's brand power

Reminded me, the Advert where all the crowd are singing in Trafalgar square, and SURPRISE ! Pink is in the crowd and starts singing. Also hate the big tall fella singing Bonnie Tyler. Irrational hatred but it's there.

What annoys me is that as a t-mobile customer I'm meant to be represented by this and feel nothing but irrational hatred towards the brains behind this muck

Think a fair few people seem to think by default that some of these adverts work just cos 'people talk about them' and all the subliminal stuff is a dark art that's being carefully exercised upon us... I don't buy that at all for the bulk of TV advertising.
In the same way that some people write 'music by numbers' for effect, I mean, take a band like Coldplay or Keane, they both seem to try to write emotive music which is close in flavour to some of the music I like but I have an allergic reaction to both of those bands for their 'by numbers' approach to it. Loads of people in advertising are unoriginal and the test as to whether it sells is not so easy to prove as it is will something simple like record sales.
Same with advertising, there's original stuff that's 'out there', styled stuff such as Apple which sort of does everything quite well IMO which seems to work well for its target market but a lot of stuff is simply churned out rubbish, stuff that thinks its funny but it isn't, and whether we remember it or not then its not the be all and end all. Adverts do get some people's backs up enough for them to not want anything to do with the products or services on offer, maybe its a few of us but it does work like that as well.

If you don't believe the 'subliminal stuff' then have a read of 'Buyology: Truth and Lies About Why We Buy' by Martin Lindstrom

Nope... and you might have read me wrong or maybe I explained a little badly, I know subliminal stuff works but that is not how a lot of adverts are created. They're driven by varying 'creative ideas' ...if you had a list of effects you wanted to have on people you wouldn't sit round a table, study it as a science and then think... what we need then is a fat opera singer singing a really overly catchy but annoying song...
What's the demographic for car insurance? anyone that drives a car yeah? and what's the %% that likes that advert or thinks that company is serious or any better than any other at saving them money? Yes, I remember their name but I also instantly remember a few others. That's all.
(Maybe more importantly I knew their name BEFORE they did the advert that now makes me not want anything to do with them)

+1. I hate the idea that we should live our lives through brands. We will end up a nation full of personality-less goldfish people.
A few months ago House of Fraser were handing out leaflets in my town publicising their "brand event" i.e. sale. Call me old fashioned but I would call concerts, exhibitions, contests an event, not a f**king sale.

Think thats a warning info thing about buying drugs online or something... as in you might think you know what you're getting but they might have rat poison in them.
Either that or it was a McDonalds advert. |
Class  You've reminded me of another one I hate in the process - the MD's advert with the stupid poem, that goes off on my TV straight away!

Do They really think that people are so suggestable? Sadly the answer must be yes. |
The answer IS yes
Whether you're all thinking that you're being rational about advertising - research suggests that you haven't got any control over it. |
That must be the same research that says 8 out of 10 cats prefer Whiskers and that the pro retamin B4 means Pantene makes my hair nice and shiny. Obviously completely fabricated........Oh b***ocks!

Sorry - my attempt at sarcasm!  I don't doubt for a minute that it works. Thanks to those blokes in 70's running gear and droopy moustaches there's only one directory enquiry service I can ever remember when I need an urgent phone number (local takeaway in a far away town etc.)

Any advert with a crap over-dramatic animation. Listerine with its whirlwind blasting away inside your mouth. The heartburn/indigestion relief stuff with the pink NY-style fireman in your stomach. This lady needs our help and fast... what a feeling! SHUT UP!
And any expensive fragrance adverts. Why do they always just consist of saying its name twice in a patronising manner.
