What else is someone with a marketing degree going to do as a profession? Go back to uni a get a real degree?

It's either this rubbish or work for 'Human Resource Management'.

.....Then again it has us talking about the companies so there's something there perhaps.

Doesn’t make sense either

I have a degree in watching all the episodes of Mad Men so I KNOW good advertising when I see it.

In my learned opinion. Ads like these are nothing but word salad.

Must be a poorly paid Asian marketing company using Google Translate...

Remember when Wallpaper ads were a thing- what goes up, must come down

A friend's mother used to comment when she wore a very short skirt that everyone could see possible, meaning her a$$ was on display. I think the Eir ad is actually very appropriate from that perspective ...

I'm using this topic to say they are the biggest pile of crap company to ever exist.

Make your home a Calor Gas home.

Potential-Monke · 06-08-2019 07:06PM

Yeah, some of these companies probably think they're right smart with their made up sayings. Pretty sure no one will ever beat the ad for the Squatty Potty though, that is advertising gold!

Calor Cosangas win

I believe they may have been inhaling the stuff.

Supervalu also have a stupid slogan - 'Real food, real people'.

As opposed to what, fake food and robots?

jack presley · 06-08-2019 10:52PM

Actually the use of the word 'real' must have been the buzz word in marketing circles a few years back as there was a coffee shop on the boardwalk years ago that's slogan was 'Real coffee for a real city". Again, what's a real city?

Ha.
Only after reading that aloud to myself, I properly got it and genuinely laughed out loud.

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

'SHAW'S - Almost Nationwide'.

Wot?

No they used to have about 5 across the South East at one stage. They have had to change their business model several times. They always had quality clothes and hardware but are now struggling like a lot of places with extortionary rates and online sales.

Who came up with that slogan? Aisling Thompson?

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

Rather like the (possibly contemporary) FF election slogan.
"A lot done, more to do".

Eir, to deal with them is impossible

You can privatise them, sex them up with snazzy slogans and a chopped down name, but it's still the old surly Telecom Eireann underneath all the window dressing.

Ironic given that my local Super Valu just installed about 20 self service machines

No, I don't accept that argument. Ever since 'chips curry', I haven't gone near McDonnell's curry sauce.

I'd prefer unreal coffee as I'm unreal kiiiiiid.

In fairness the FF one was referring to the people of Ireland and to their credit, by the time they left, they had done the lot of us!

Very refreshing thread.

Just to know others out there do not care for this. I sometimes feel alienated by the onslaught of newspeak and nonsense in commercial breaks on radio and television, and that the world appears to be moving somewhere else without me. After shaking my head in disbelief at the latest inauthentic, vacuous, torrid abuse of language and grammar, I make conscious note of what company has issued the ad and resolve to avoid ever choosing their product or service. How do they select VO artists with such ludicrous accents? I do the very opposite of what they had hoped I would do with their huge budget.

Now I know I am not alone. Possibly far from it.
