The COVID-19 Blues

Hursty

vinnyt77 yeah definitely, for some reason I just remember that one as the experts were exceedingly professional and cut throat, no messing, just tore into them like knife through butter

That sounds like our Grant to a tee 👍️

Getting a civil servant to knock up a quick PowerPoint would have been lethal!

vinnyt77

Along_the_Wire Oh, you mean the jingle?

Along_the_Wire

vinnyt77 a jingle doesn’t exist in a number of key advertising formats.

bosstrabs

How about you stop ADVERTISING the fact that you’ve just quit work, Grant?

Millsy

Lol. Proper D Mob happy is our Grant. Giddy with it. The fucking cunt.

bosstrabs

Millsy Demob happy, short for demobilisation.

Taxi ‘on route’ for Millsy!

Cry me a fucking river lads!

Hursty covid advertising you say?

Someone pass me the sick bucket:

Along_the_Wire

hugopal advertising

That’s PR

hugopal

Along_the_Wire That’s PR

That’s the type of “who gives a shit” nitpicking response which you often berate me for.

Along_the_Wire

hugopal I didn’t need to go online and find out the lengthy facts and then post it. I used seven letters and it’s on a subject matter that I’m an expert on. As tedious a that fact is in itself.

hugopal

Along_the_Wire surely it’s still advertising the product though, even if it was done by a "PR Team’ rathan an “Advertising Team”?

If they put the exact same clip as a ‘sponsored ad’ before YouTube videos would it still be PR and not advertising?!

Along_the_Wire

hugopal PR is a separate and very distinct discipline. That’s why you have advertising agencies and PR agencies. You also have media agencies.

INTO THE WEEDS WE GO!

Sure, but that doesn’t address whether If they put the exact same clip as a ‘sponsored ad’ before YouTube videos if it would still be PR and not advertising?!

If the disciplines are “distinct” then what are the distinctions which mean it would still quite obviously be PR and not advertising?

Cankles-McJeggings

I can sense a Dr Spengermann essay denouncing that is already in the making.

Along_the_Wire

hugopal if it said sponsored ad, it would be advertising and it would be paid for. It’s PR, it’s from their own account and they be using the same messaging across other channels for free exposure (free other than the fees paid to the PR agency, the fella in the ad and other elements such as production etc). I’m bored shitless justifying this tedious position, move on you boring cunt.

hugopal

Along_the_Wire so the exact same video but just placed as an ad on youtube/spotify etc would no longer be PR but rather advertising? Got it.

Along_the_Wire this tedious position

It really is.
