廣告快訊



廣告101‧Be Always Convinced!

Logo有罪?
每天同學都會看很多不同的廣告,記得的有多少個?記得是哪個品牌的又有多少個?

好的廣告,第一步肯定是要吸引到觀眾的注意,連這點也做不到,什麼也不用說了。所以廣告要有創意,要有好的execution。要做到這點,可以千方百計,娛樂性強的、音樂特別吸引的、有知名人士出現的、有很爭議性的對白的、有很可愛的畫面的、有很型格的、有很感人的... 很多教科書提到的音樂、小孩、公仔等,都是熱門的創作方式。

於是乎,看廣告的人開始對廣告有了期望。而很多「平霸」式的hardsell廣告,會被評為無taste、核突、甚至是「破壞」了廣告。同時間,廣告客戶(或其老闆)又總會要求logo放大D,花100萬拍片、500萬落media,如果觀眾連廣告賣的什麼品牌都不知道,怎麼行?

難道廣告有大logo就有罪?

一位在日本做了近20年廣告的朋友透露,日本的廣告客戶都很喜歡大product和大logo,估計平均有七成廣告會出現很大的logo、很大的product和很大的代言人visual。大家到日本,可能也發現這個現象。

那麼日本的廣告都走錯了路嗎?這也未必。大家如果有留意,在日本那些大brand的廣告背後,都是很悅目的execution,這其實也是廣告吸引觀眾的手法之一。所以普遍日本的廣告都很花時間和資源在製作上,否則便會很容易被比下去。

至於沒有大logo可行嗎?當然也可行。但這也許有一些限制,brand awareness和brand favorability就是很關鍵的因素。知名度高的品牌都擁有很多品牌聯想,就算TVC一直無講明品牌或無出logo,又或是TVC有頭到尾都一直出logo,
也不一定壞事。

但也有不少知名品牌,也不會為此而將品牌「有型地」縮在一旁,因為廣告的目的最終都是為品牌服務,只要「有品味地」好好的放置logo,其實才是廣告人和marketing人最考功夫的地方。看看下面的幾個例子,大家認為logo放置如何?

至於什麼是「有品味」?這就是好廣告的關鍵所在了!




超大置中logo





台徽式logo





開場大logo




[ad@jp] 80年代的電視廣告
80年代是日本經濟的興盛期,電視廣告媒體非常重要及效果顯著。

大家重溫30多年前的日本廣告可以發現,原來當時的電視廣告已經有無窮無盡的伎倆...

初八啟市之迷
不如初四有事,初五詐病,那就可以初八啟市了,這樣就能配合「好日」開工。

近日太古坊最熱門的話題,都應該離不開各大agency的啟市通告。已有大行公布初八啟市,於是乎行內的各位小員工,都盼望公司皇恩大赦。

不過,小員工最好望的,還是客戶能高抬貴手。客戶一方無論大機構還是小機構,初八啟市的機率相對比agency低。而agency是否初八啟市,某程度又會考慮客戶在初四和初五的工作量。

而更實際的是,假如agency真的休假兩天,但客戶還是堅持output又或shooting,甚至開一些無厘啦間的重要會議,那負責的同事就要可憐地搶先啟市。這份情感的打擊,分分鐘比全公司無花紅派更差。

曾幾何時,agency在開市日都會出現「逗利是」的人龍,一眾放縱不羈的廣告人都甚少早婚,那就不理好羞,一起拉龍湊熱鬧,向一眾admin、finance、IT、management等同事送上熱烈的祝福。隨著近年經濟未見起色,很多已婚同事都喜愛避年,利是龍的情景,俱往已。

與其這樣,初八啟市就有了很充份的誘因了。然而,在agency的彈性上下班時間及廣告人靈活性相配合下,即使初四、初五開工,也會自得其樂。不過,在公司仍未判定開工吉日之前,在facebook及各大場合製造民情及輿論,就得加點熱情和技巧了。而這幾天,似乎有越來越多agency公布開市日期的好消息呢!

祝各位收爐大吉,開市如願!

久違的心思小物
香港的marketing,有一點千篇一律的現象。可能是marketing人太忙,也可能是媒體造就了這種單一性,也可能是小市場單一空間造就的「偽mass market」迫使marketing人向mass media傾倒。

再加上一直被人批的官商鉤結,小商戶整天怕了加租,怕了供應商不供貨,怕了大財團施壓,反正都沒有時間去做marketing了。

以下這個心思小物,沒有什麼驚天動地的創意,也不需要很大budget,更沒有牽涉什麼新科技,就是香港比較少見這些心思小物。

香港的marketing人,請加油!







[ad@jp] 小學生也懂什麼是4色黑
今天的電視新聞有一則故事,講述香港科學館的展品太少更新和太多損壞。當很多小朋友還在享受一個悠長的農曆新年假期,科學館這類地方其實不只是他們的好去處,也是教育新一代的重要窗口,更反映了一個地方的廣告水平。這方面,日本的科學館可能給予我們一點啟示...

C+M+Y=K。可能很多在職廣告人連單黑和4色黑都分不清楚,人家連小學生也知道在說什麼呢!

Apple 魔法回顧
這個題可能讓大家失望了。

幾年前談Apple,必家會叫大家留意Steve Jobs的keynote speech,如何將一樣新的產品有drama地演譯出來,將產品的賣點在一個演講上放大,讓一眾支持者在網上發酵,也讓媒體有報導的角度。

但新產品不能每季都有,自iPod、iPhone、iPad、macbook air後,大部分的「新」產品就只停留在版本的更新,用家的experience也沒有多大改變。

於是乎,Apple的魔法似乎失去了,所以便需要像其他marketing人一樣,走回「平凡」的marketing路。

所以,Apple在香港也要在媒體上推出TVC和print ads,而且與retail「合作」,以保持曝光率。大家看電視和報刊,都是不同電訊商為iPhone出的廣告,有時更會在同一份報刊有兩個不同電訊商logo但一樣內容的廣告。然而,在Android和Window Phone的強攻下,似乎又不能不保持一定程度的曝光,這是幾年前Apple不會做的事情。

此外,在沒有新產品的日子,Apple也得不斷製造marketing topics。大家看看下列的edm題材,與大部分marketing人的做法相似,例如打開「送禮」市場、推出節日優惠、拉闊產品應用層面等。在沒有魔法的庇蔭下,Apple也得盡力而為。

希望在後Steve Jobs時代,如果新產品的本體優勢真的被追近時,Apple能將從前發揮在產品開發的創意和能量,投入marketing和廣告範疇,讓一眾蘋果迷和marketing人,繼續能欣賞Apple的銷售魔法。

祝大家新年快樂!

















[ad@jp] 日本広告與日本漫畫
為回應「廣告101」早前有關哪個國家的廣告讀者較感興趣的調查,本blog的各位作者會合力撰寫一些有關日本廣告的趣怪短文。為防與其他作者的題材重覆,筆者特意選一個另類角度,分享一些得意過癮的日本昭和時期舊廣告,希望各位喜歡。

昭和期間至今日本出現大量品牌與漫畫的Cross Over廣告...

[ad@jp] 新年多福
新年最好的活動,除了是拜年,就是全城撲福!

這股風氣,在日本的marketing長時期鼓動下,儼如成為日本民眾每年春節的指定活動。

大家可能都聽過「福袋」了,「福袋」在日本並非一個隨便的宣傳語句,而是真的提供「堅揪」折扣的賀年禮包,商戶都會很誠實,不會借「福袋」過橋搏大霧。因此,大家還會偶爾在新聞見到日本人在街頭排隊買福袋的熱鬧情況。

日本新年慶祝的是西曆1月1日,但氣氛卻有如香港慶祝農曆新年一樣。很多日本民眾還會為親友寄上「年賀狀」,以示祝福。

「廣告101」早前做了個小調查,發現很多朋友都有興趣了解更多有關日本的廣告資訊,所以龍年開始這裡會出現多些有關日本廣告的文章。

祝各位新年進步,渾身是福!




折扣有保證的福袋,設計也千變萬化。




小店也會以福袋,應節吸引顧客。





大品牌也會參與這項「撲福」盛事。





有些香港商店會以這樣的包裝作gimmick,將一些舊貨以小小折扣推出,這種情況在日本很少見。

欲迎還拒的Head Hunter
做廣告沒什麼好,好在各大公司經常都唔夠人,跳槽甚易。

入行一年後,收到head hunter的電話,也不算什麼身份象徵,沒有收到head hunter或廣告公司的電話,反而有事。事實上,只要不是太摺,稍有露面的人,無論有料無料,醒定唔醒,在這行裡都很容易「被討論」,然後被傳開。

廣告公司搵人,第一步大多數問業內友好,也有問相熟客戶,最後還會找head hunter代勞。在利錢誘因下,當然head hunter會最主動。行內有幾家head hunter是較熟悉廣告市場的,當中也有些人曾經在廣告公司工作,所以有一定人脈。

Head hunter也會向客戶收風,還有各個與廣告製作有關的單位。在市道超旺的時代,有些head hunter甚至會有廣告公司的internal phone list,分分鐘唔識都會打去問下。然而,今年似乎並不好景,所以過年後想走的得快走了。

好了,收到電話又怎樣?如果廣告公司打來的,當然唔買都睇下。既可以看看行情,也可以秤秤自己的身價。是否轉會,不用那麼快做決定。相信稍有年資的廣告人,都有不少這類「試水」經驗了。

至於head hunter,比較煩。因為head hunter來電,不時先問長問短,甚至要先上去見面,才看看會否轉介到廣告公司interview。除非去意堅決,否則大多是浪費時間,於是就可免則免。

還要小心的是,head hunter的工作,除了搵人,很多時其實是在搵料。以借請人之名,做情報工作為實。很多年少無知的廣告人(以至客戶),以為有人看得起,便什麼都如實回答。

「套料」問題也有深淺,資料性的如個team有幾多人,做什麼project,handle幾多錢的account,故之然會問。有時候還會很「深入」的考驗閣下的能力,問見解,問策略,問往績,當中可能已經成功套料了。

不要誤會,head hunter可不是洪水猛獸,「套料」也只是部分人的惡行。事實上,不少客戶和廣告公司都是透過head hunter搵人,由低至極高層都是,所以在跳槽頻繁的行業裡,也得學會三兩式見工和應付head hunter的招數。
