honestly if advertisements just played really old public domain jazz tunes downloaded off the internet archive and put whatever they were advertising on the screen the entire time i'd probably be more inclined to buy it than i am with the tactics they're currently using lmao
give me something i like
and stick your logo on it
like really how hard is that
“but kibi if our ads are about what YOU like then when do we get to talk about how smart WE are?”
this is like 95% apple's fault by the way they started it
here's my secret advertising tip: the best advertising solution is to just give people what they want. if you see an ad which doesn't just give people what they want, it throws into question whether anyone wants what it is advertising lol. also this is 99% of tech ads.
tech is good and useful sometimes but i get the sense watching tech ads that the people who make the tech kinda aren't sure how it's useful and just made it just cos. and then the people figured out how to make it useful later in spite of that and they're still not sure what it all means but hey the emoji talk now so that's cool
hey you can communicate with anyone anywhere and there are thousands of people sending hearts to their loved ones right this second but let's talk about how SKINNY it is instead that's more interesting let's talk about how it has GOOGLE
@kibi Probably because there's thousands of new phone models out there every year and they *all* do the communication thing. So they try to stand out and, figures, try exactly the same thing as everyone else by talking about the skinny and googles.
@polychrome i agree that's what they're doing but i think it's misguided. the company that focuses on what people actually want is the company that wins over the people imo.
but it's of course more complicated than that, and it's not just the people they're trying to win over, but the press, and the investors
