Apple's new ad for the iPad Pro is blowing up for all the wrong reasons. #apple #ipad #BadAdvertising

@lzg Because it's #BadAdvertising as they don't convey "What is their product?" or "Why should I consider this?"

Like they don't show it at all or even provide a kind of tagline that makes one tangientially interested if in the target audience.

For example:

  • Any car company at least posts an image of their car they want to sell.
  • Even odoo and Shopify at least point out they are eCommerce platforms that aim towards small businesses that don't have IT staff nor people that got forcibly conscripted into being fluent in garbage bloatware like SAP!
  • The billboard company in my hometown at least tries to sell their vacant billboards with increasingly cringe and outdated slogans like "Because gandpa doesn't scroll!" which sound kinda insulting and belittleing...

Why am I getting Trent Water adverts when I live in a Yorkshire Water area? What are they expecting. Me to change the water coming out of my taps? #WaterCompanies #BadAdvertising

A performance so epic, your face might get chewed off.

Fancy being toasted? Currently in the UK and saw this. My immediate reaction was “move to Spain then” not get in a human toaster bringing on skin cancer. But I forgot, the B word. #BadAdvertising #sunlight #SunlitUplands
