How about some "I'm an iPhone," "I'm a Galaxy" ads? 1smile.gif

They'd probably end up on court for that.

However, a bit more generic "I'm an iPhone", "I'm Android" ad... could be just fine.

I have no problem with your opinion. The question is: who comes up with ad ideas? TBWA\Chiat\Day or Apple? Whose fault is it that these ads are bland?

It's hard to believe these ads present the Samsung products in a favorable light to anyone other than a few urban hipsters. Most people will find these characters odious.

Most people found Justin Long's "Mac guy" odious. Yet adds were considered highly successful. I'd say because it is about drawing attention to products rather than offering likeable characters.

Personally, I like Samsung adds. Even if I don't really like Samsung as a brand.

2. Spur unplanned purchases (somehow, we always end up at McDonald's after my daughter hears an McD commercial on the radio)
3. Remind people that you're still #1.
4. Tell customers about new products or services
There are other reasons, but that's sufficient to show that you need to advertise even if you're #1.

That said, Apple DOES advertise (as does Coca-Cola, of course). Whether they advertise enough is an open question.
I agree. The first time I saw the ad about the girl pretending that the sales figures were hers, I couldn't believe it. I get more disgusted each time I see it.

I don't think it's just urban hipsters that they appeal to. There's a significant audience that thinks that the ends justify the means - and particularly when it comes down to stealing from a big, bad company. Everything about Samsung (from their advertising to their 'product development' to their corporate bribery practices says 'sleaze'.

1. When is Coke ever out of sight? It's prominently displayed in just about every store.

2. One can only get McD's at McD's but one can buy Coke there too.

3. Last I heard they were #1 and #2.

4. With this one I agree.

He did well in the ads, I find him odious because he's banging Drew Barrymore.

The main problem at Apple is that they've changed their user base. In the past it was mainly driven by intellectual and/or creative users, so the "think different" motto fitted nicely.

Now the user base is people who don't need computers. iOS, according to Steve Jobs, is designed for people who never used a computer.

In other words, the main user base now (ie, the one that produces more revenue) aren't people which Apple helps to "think different", but people driven to "not think at all" from the latest Apple policies.

The current Apple policies can only be explained if they believe they make more money if people don't think, just like Microsoft did in their golden days.

Samsung is catching this scenario very well. Most of their ads are smart, brilliant and fun. Apple cannot make such ads any longer, because their current business is based on non-thinking customers.

Considering myself a "think different" user, I boo at Apple, and applaud the current Samsung way of thinking (although I don't use Android, since I prefer Linux and OSX over Android and iOS respectively)

Like most of these non-Apple ads, the product and features are hidden. But if you drop a load in front of an ad person, their best response is to make a commercial that JQ Public will find amusing, and then throw up the logo and tagline at the end.

While the "rap battle" approach might get the Apple-haters excited, it doesn't work. All you need to do is look at the MS campaigns from the last 10 years. But in all fairness, when you can't say anything about your product is better, slagging off the other guy is really all you're left to... well, that, and the "hey, we're cheaper."

By the way... I don't think there is a company on the planet who believes that they can stop advertising and remain on top or anywhere near it. [read jragosta above]

For every 10 mediocre ads presented by Samsung, Apple needs only one really good ad imho. As it is, I think that Apple is at the 10 to 4 ratio right now.

Apple's "good" is better than most companies' "best". Apple would be foolish not to advertise, but they shouldn't drown us in commercials. Every time you see an iPhone used to record interviews or take pictures on the news/tv, is free advertising.

Keep thinking that "good enough" is the way to go. It's so easy to be forgotten by a fickle public.

Actually, I thought those ads worked because Justin Long was just the straight man and John Hodgman's "PC guy" had all the funny lines.  You'd think Mac vs. PC ads would be mean-spirited, but Hodgman's character was kind of a lovable boob, so Apple made its point without seeming mean.

Correct. John Hodgman made those ads work. Although you only needed to cast a perfect foil for PC guy, and that was Justin.

No... you make it sound like "Good Enough" is all that is necessary.

 

... and when Coke no longer has the money to pay...  do you really believe that a company would last that long if it didn't advertise... really.

Don't hold your breath for the day Coke no longer has money. I don't think even monkey boy Ballmer can derail that train.

I've been following the thread, like I said they're #1 and #2. No amount of advertising by Pepsi can change that, just like no amount of advertising by Samsung will stop people from buying iPhones.

Samsung is clearly going after a sleaze niche. You want to call that a certain type of cachet, or cool, ok. Who cares about ethics anyway, right?

It will be interesting to see what Segall comes up with later this week when he talks about their ads specifically.

You can't have it both ways. Either Apple is cool or they didn't have to "apologize" to Samsung and should be financially compensated by the court for the damage done to Apple.

One of the earlier posts talked about "consumers with buying power"....  Good point!

I just don't like companies that push their product by portraying buyers (or fans) of other competing products as stupid (standing in line), dumb ("they don't see that the next big thing is already here") and now in their latest "campaign" being old, out-of-touch and being mocked by "hip" tween employees. These "older" or "dumb" people are all potential buyers of other Samsung products now or in the future. Products of other divisions like TVs, computers, appliances. 

If I would be the head of any of these other Samsung 'silos', I'd pick up the phone and call my counterpart in "Mobile": "What the heck are you doing? You pissing off my potential customers. You want me (us) to loose a $2,500 TV or Fridge deal just so you might sell more S III ! ?"   

Back to 'buying power': Call me sensitive but Samsung lost me.

Now - what TV should I get...? Typical First World problem....

Ignorance doesn't equate dumb. In no way do I think Samsung portrays the people that wait on line as being dumb. Does it seem like the guy holding a spot for his parents think that they're dumb? Does the guy belittle those on line? Not at all. I think Samsung's message is "hey, we know that you guys like the iPhone but we have a device that is already out and might interest you"

Get a Panasonic plasma.

The day that Coke stops advertising but Pepsi continues to advertise is the day that Coke heads down the ladder and Pepsi goes to the top.

I don't agree with what I'm about to write (poor logic), but how about this:

 

"Hey, I 'may' be old and out-of-touch, but if I buy this Samsung fridge, I will become cool and hip.  That's what the ads say."

That's not as crazy as you think. There was a case a year or two ago where a young adult sued a deodorant maker because it didn't attract women like their ads suggested that it would.

I beg to differ. How many products do you buy that you've never seen a ad for? Yet you still buy it when you shop. There are a few products that are ingrained into people's minds and are there to stay. Coca-Cola is one of them. No amount of advertising by Pepsi will unseat Coke from the #1 spot.

You're right. Companies spend billions of dollars every year for nothing. 1rolleyes.gif

 

Remain uneducated if you will.

 

Coca Cola was by far the King of the soft drink world until the 50s. Nothing even close.

 

In the late 40s and early 50s Pepsi made everything else equal: infrastructure & distribution. Coca Cola began to have a real contender. Then Pepsi started firing on all cylinders with a few of its ad campaigns. Coke and Pepsi almost bankrupted themselves during the Cola Wars of the 60s, 70s and early 80s.

 

Once the business ends were similar it's advertising that made the difference. Coke will never stop advertising as Jaragosta stated because Pepsi would roll over them like a 300 mph train.

I think the moves Coca-Cola made is what put them at #1, and not advertising, like making their soft drinks the choice in most fast food places and restaurants. Do you really think people will start drinking Rum and Pepsi or Jack and Pepsi all of a sudden?

Since most people drink soda, and most people aren't brain damaged, I don't see how the evidence supports your conclusion.

I'd be quite happy if it was illegal to put HFCS in foods. For a few years now, I've not imbibed anything with HFCS in it, and that limits me to water, milk, 100% juice, and specialized sodas. I'd say it's less than 10% of the total "drinks" market. And I'm fine with that. Stop wasting sugar on ethanol and use the corn instead.

 

But there's no evidence supporting either of your claims.

The majority is always sane. Damage stops being damage if everyone has it. 1wink.gif

Come on you're going to argue with me about soda? Lol dude look do some research on soda. Yes most people are brain damaged. They just don't realize it. For real man look up the shit they put it in. Then after you list the ingredients. Look up ingredients & maybe you can share the knowledge & save someones life from self destruction. #idiocracy
