The Apprentice - Episode 6

MagicMarker

Cadburys, yay.

Heroditas

Great example of how this is going downhill - a few years ago they had to create a new bar. This year they're designing a flyer and an ad.

Busi_Girl08

I can't wait for the Gorilla ad to be re-aired!

dolittle

dont they look great in their wellies

Busi_Girl08

So I'm guessing Caramello's sales have gone way down?

ibarelycare

Caremello, yummm!

BroomBurner

Oh man, I love Caramello.

Dammit TV3, and your Free Product Placement!

It's an acquired taste! It's a strange bar I've always thought. It doesn't really taste like and only vaguely looks like caramel. Plus Cadbury's have a proper Caramel bar, so I don't really get this one. But I still think it's yum!

God, Brian purchell is a moaning bastid.

Heroditas

Just how good is Christopher? He's just effin' brilliant at everything according to himself :rolleyes:

Busi_Girl08

Electric pink for a blue wrapper?

Electric pink = Turkish Delight, m'dear.

I think it's because they managed to have the caramel completely liquified, and the chocolate is a bit thinner. It's lovely straight from the fridge.


Caramel/brown colours = Galaxy

ibarelycare

Ah I haven't seen this in weeks and I'm struggling to keep up with who's on each team. Suppose I should put down my phone and stop posting

Can't believe Chris is still there, although it's good to have someone annoying. Who's been standing out? Is the young lad still there?

i`ll try one from the fridge so
always found the caramel harsh on the troath

Birdsong

just turned it on, who are the PMs

ibarelycare

Are both teams going for the same idea??

Busi_Girl08

Chocolate, pink and handbags. That pretty much sums up the Irish female market.

vitani

Jaysis, it's Toe Tapping Talents all over again.

Lord Trollington

Not a bad rack on Sandra.

BroomBurner

I always wonder what the graphic designers make of it all. And how they don't crack up with laughter.

Busi_Girl08

I'm sure using words like "ooze" will work wonders for the Caramello sales margin.

MagicMarker

Does these idiots not realise men eat chocolate too?

Busi_Girl08

Right. So one team has designed a wrapper for Galaxy, and the others have designed a Sex and the City poster.

They were told their target market were females.

Cadbury's told them the target market is women aged 16-35.


I think the first wrapper there looked good.

Didn't the brief state they had to promote specifically to women?

ibarelycare

Actually should they not be keeping some of Cadbury's trademark purple on the wrapper?

Yes but you don't want to completely alienate the other half of the market!

vitani

That pink is too like the Turkish Delight.

FetchTheGin

First one definately looks good.

They're all purple, if they're relaunching it, it should look different IMO.

Busi_Girl08

Maaaaaaajor goof there.

I'm expecting a good show tonight, I hope it's not being pumped up because of a major goof.

I dunno, all Cadbury's "8 square" (and the larger versions of them) have purple wrappers so Cadbury's mightn't want the Caramello to look completely different. I do think one of the wrapper's looks very good, but I can see them nitpicking at that.

Forgot to design both the wrapper for the small bar (the one that would be more commonly bought) and the display box.

ibarelycare

Yeah the large bar definitely looks like a Galaxy.

Team Zest's is a complete disaster!

Lord Trollington

Jesus Christ this gets better. No name visible

Is the caramello wrapper not more blue than purple though? Kind of navy or something. I've always felt it was the estranged and unwanted brother of the Cadbury family.

Real tasty though.

vitani

I wonder how many people are going to buy a Caramello tomorrow... I haven't had one in years.

MagicMarker

How did the graphic designer not notice the name at the very bottom?

Yeah I think you're right actually!

Heroditas

Good grief, Team Zest are absolutely fecked!
Only the large bar and you can't even read Caramello on it.
This is going to be spectacular.

EDIT: why the hell are they cold-calling to clothes shops? FFS!!!!
