michael.b Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 (edited) Where?: MSN.com/Hotmail Who: http://www.assessment.com/ I just love how the company promises to find "motivation" in customers' life... Personally, I just don't seek how I can be apt to want to click on the ad or be interested in the service when it seems to me MAPP needs a bit of personal motivation themselves in their development of public ad campaigns. :whistle: Edited December 3, 2003 by varekai2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malechai Veteran Posted December 3, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 3, 2003 so no one has done a silhouette of a person on a coloured background before? or is it just that once apple does it, no one else is allowed to ever again? at least thats what i'm getting out of this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just saying... I am getting into marketing for a living, and let's just say I'd get no where if I'd make that one of my mock advertisment schemes... just due to the recent iPod ads and their popularity. Let's just say one would be tagged with the crime of plagerism in the marketing world. Even if you came out with it first... if yours doesn't gain popularity... I would pull it, just to not be labed with this conformist persona... especially coming from a company that promises motivation. But whatever... I just posed it for giggles... but everyone takes everything with a burn, always. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael.b Posted December 3, 2003 Author Share Posted December 3, 2003 I didn't. I just thought it was a silly comparison. I am so sorry for causing trouble... I just got a good laugh when I first viewed the advertisement and I saw the guy holding the iPod in my mind. BUT that was me. It was worth a giggle... and only wanted to share it with everyone. I added my banther about the motivational deal... because it just seemed ironic as to how parallel it was to the current successful iPod ads. I say successful, cause if my Polish mother responds positivly to a rock song... the advertising must be doing it's job. AND that's all it was, I suppose... IRONY... and sometimes irony is comical, as it was meant to be in this case. Sorry, again. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
