I'm pretty sure that the companies who spend billions on advertising
know more about what works than you do.


If they knew how to do it effectively, than why do they have to spend
so much money?

Uh, because it's expensive to do effectively?

Still waiting for that list of major companies who are so effective
they don't need to do endorsements.

not at least vaguely familiar with them?




Coke is the #1 brand in the world. Coca-cola has an enormous sales and
marketing budget (over $11 billion last year, on $29 billion revenue).
Do you really think that's just coincidence? Everyone is familiar with
Coke because they aggressively market themselves at every opportunity.

yeah... that's right. Just ignore me.

Dude, stop being mean. You're not as cool as you think.

EDIT: I seriously hope you don't have kids. Cause I'd feel REALLY sorry
for them.

You don't get to diss me just cause I might not be a brain-dead idiot
who buys whatever his or her television tells them to.
I wasn't dissing you.

I know you're not gonna apologize for being SO rude so I'm not even
gonna bother asking... you're parents didn't teach you much in the way
of manners.

Jackie talking about a persons kids is a real low blow. Unless you know
him in person and in his everyday life it is hard to say.

I think its more about getting people to think of your drink before
anyothers, not having to question themselves about all the soft-drinks
they know and could get. Companies want to be number one, the most
relevant and know, that way people automatically grab a coke, not a
pepsi.

Just cause Dan Heaton wear Columbia now, I'm not gonna start buying
their gear. It's still a silly, over-priced sportswear company to me.
I'm fine with my four year old windbreaker I got at Goodwill.




I think the companies realized this. Your probably not their target
audience, so of course it is not going to work for you. They are not
spending money to get people like you to buy their goods.


That said, I don't want unicycling to become super popular and sellout.
