There's a lot of people knocking around saying they are experts on marketing, who wouldn't know how to sell water to a man on fire.Sell!

It was lame, like, er, almost every other cereal character that already exists.<br /><br />Their insight, that the cereal look like treasure, is weak. Which kid is going to be fooled by that? They'd open the box and be more disappointed than Tiny Tim discovering someone nicked his walking stick.<br /><br />Their pants idea worked with the name of their brand, wake up call. This cereal wakes you up and gets you focused so you don't put your pants on outside. Now, it was a mistake to make him a superhero (he should've been just a dumb guy) but still, I remember the ad, I remember the brand.<br /><br />Yeah sure Alan Sugar doesn't like it but he's a boring conservative client. His views on advertising are pretty well known.<br /><br />Whatever like, everyone's got an opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169807398234019196.post-34828475375685609312009-04-23T16:12:00.000+01:002009-04-23T16:12:00.000+01:00It was very funny - a classic case of all talk and...It was very funny - a classic case of all talk and no action!Delicious Industrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13244915640640934316noreply@blogger.com
