Eir Let's Make Possible

pappyodaniel · 05-08-2019 08:39PM #1

The slogan in the Eir ads is doing my head in.
"Lets Make Possible"

What does this even mean?

There's a spate of these type of ads lately. Same goes for the Bank of Ireland ad "Millions of begins, no two the same".

Begins? Millions of begins? I bet these two ads were produced by the same advertising company.

Eir, to deal with them is impossible

The same one that did "We're Backing Brave" and "Smart Flies Aer Lingus" :mad::mad:

Same company as Irish Rail's slogan "We're not there yet, but we're getting there..."

Adidas. Impossible is nothing.

More meaningless tripe.

At least that makes some sort of sense. And is grammatically correct.

It's crap.
It's effectively saying that "we're sh1t but maybe sometime in the future we won't be".
But they still are!

There is actually a complex science behind these marketing slogans,

Here is how it works

Gwynplaine · 05-08-2019 08:55PM

"Fordy gigs of dayda"

Porklife · 05-08-2019 09:01PM

When I read your thread title it made my eye twitch. I'm so glad that it grinds your gears as much as mine.

Good threads.... let's make possible...*eye twitch*...urge to kill riISSing....

They have the worst customer care in Ireland. A while back it took an average of an hour to get through to them. If your an eir employee and bring in your own cereal they charge you for the milk

You would lose that bet. Let's Make Possible was made by Rothco, the other one was TWBA.

Every Little Helps.

Must be in use by Tesco 10 years or more.

sligojoek · 05-08-2019 09:52PM

"Experience Amazing"

Fanny Wank · 05-08-2019 09:55PM

Me fail English? That's unpossible

It's like one of those satires of ads that don't tell you anything.

Future!
Synergy!
Possible!

sabat · 05-08-2019 10:15PM

It's infuriating.

Always find this very bizarre when watching The Handmaids Tale. Someone has just been shot, hung or ritually raped and then bright white and red, Tesco's 'every little helps' pops up on the screen.

I like that one. Recognition about how crap they are is the first step. I don't share their optimism on the second half of the sentence though

BuboBubo · 05-08-2019 10:38PM

The one for the bank (AIB I think?) "We're backing brave".

Always annoyed the hell out of me for some reason.

It's newspeak.

Beeyatch sounds like she's about to cry saying that line, that's why.

An ad that really annoys me lately is the Vodafone one - Team of Us. Its irritating as fcuk with various people turning to the camera and declaring "I'm in." In what exactly?

sligojoek · 05-08-2019 10:54PM

"Camogie Made Me Ready for the Real World"

Scott Tenorman · 05-08-2019 10:57PM

Wood wood wood wood Fleetwood.

What??

FrancieBrady · 05-08-2019 10:58PM

Always loved the one for Shaws. I think they had 3 shops at the time.

'SHAW'S - Almost Nationwide'.

Wot?

boombang · 05-08-2019 11:06PM

There's one which is/was one from one of the big banks something like "supporting clubs, supporting communities" which I thought was fantastic hypocricy given that the bank was one of the businesses that fuelled the boom with reckless lending, leaving many young people to leave for Canada and Oz.

I think it was "Fleetwood would, would Fleetwood" which is still irritating!
