"I understand the commercial compulsions/intent behind allowing companies to brand Metro Stations. If it helps raise money for the Metro it's worthwhile. But should even the route map inside the Metro include all the assorted brand names alongside the actual locations It seems like a severe branding overkill and makes the route map messy. And unintentionally funny of course. It almost looks like (all of) Andheri alone is being told that mutual funds are right ๐ And less said about that ' - ' the better ๐ Considering many other Indian cities have co-branded names for stations how are the"

"I had long forgotten about 'Feeding India' that I used to notice on Zomato. I remember it as an 'opt-out' feature in the final bill's line items and this caused quite a number of people to complain vocally on social media (rightly so - it should be opt-in not opt-out) sometime ago. Zomato explained it as being added once a user chooses it (opts for it) the first time. So subsequent bills will have this as opt-out with a small 'remove' link next to it (which I'd argue is a dark pattern). What would have been a considerably better method is to introduce the scale scope and impact of Feeding"

"This ACKO ad from yesterday's Economic Times is not bad by any stretch. It has a strategically coherent creative thought (rough summary: "Mixing protection with returns weakens protection") and a commercially sharp closure (100% Pure Life Insurance).

While it is easy to claim that Black Mirror has handled such narratives far better (particularly the episode 'Common People' from season 7) there's no doubt that Super Bowl's exposure and visibility far outweigh a TV show. Why do I find these ads ordinary The main reason is this: there is zero shock/suspense about ad-supported software"

"Oh good to know :) To be sure the ads were funny and entertaining in a Black Mirror'ish way. But my point was about how weak the strategy was particularly on a mass exposure like Super Bowl. Ad-supported software simply isnt shocking anymore. Netflix Spotify YouTube games news apps. people have already priced ads into the mental model of 'free'. So the betrayal the ads hinge on lands less like horror and more like mild annoyance. Thats a small emotional delta for a Super Bowl stage ('mass' again). Also they spend a full minute (on Super Bowl stage at that) telling me what a competitor might"

"Illuminating piece Sonys brand still signals "premium TV" (I bought a new Bravia three years ago after giving away the previous Bravia that we had for a decade) but the economic engine that once justified that perception (by owning core components controlling panels leading production) has shifted to China This isn't unique to Sony if you think about it. It's a recurring cycle in global manufacturing shifts. [--]. In the 1970s and 80s US brands like RCA dominated. But Japanese brands like Sony and Panasonic built superior reputations for quality/reliability and overtook via better manufacturing."

"Isn't the '$20/mo dissatisfied ChatGPT subscribers' a very narrow very online very product-literate cohort Vs. a Super Bowl-sized target that is Super Bowl media is the most expensive broad-reach hammer in advertising. You dont use it to target an already dissatisfied niche whos deep enough in the category to compare tone-of-voice nuances. Those people will discover Claude through product reviews Reddit word-of-mouth not a US $7m mass spot. Also the dissatisfaction youre describing (too agreeable half-assed conforming) is a product quality issue not a business-model issue. But the ads also"

"I understand the commercial compulsions/intent behind allowing companies to brand Metro Stations. If it helps raise money for the Metro it's worthwhile. But should even the route map inside the Metro include all the assorted brand names alongside the actual locations It seems like a severe branding overkill and makes the route map messy. And unintentionally funny of course. It almost looks like (all of) Andheri alone is being told that mutual funds are right ๐ And less said about that ' - ' the better ๐ Considering many other Indian cities have co-branded names for stations how are the"

"I had long forgotten about 'Feeding India' that I used to notice on Zomato. I remember it as an 'opt-out' feature in the final bill's line items and this caused quite a number of people to complain vocally on social media (rightly so - it should be opt-in not opt-out) sometime ago. Zomato explained it as being added once a user chooses it (opts for it) the first time. So subsequent bills will have this as opt-out with a small 'remove' link next to it (which I'd argue is a dark pattern). What would have been a considerably better method is to introduce the scale scope and impact of Feeding"

"This ACKO ad from yesterday's Economic Times is not bad by any stretch. It has a strategically coherent creative thought (rough summary: "Mixing protection with returns weakens protection") and a commercially sharp closure (100% Pure Life Insurance). But consider the copy itself. The use of 'rule of three'. The poetic repetitive mantra-like fragmented structure. The use of short declarative stacking.

"Oh good to know :) To be sure the ads were funny and entertaining in a Black Mirror'ish way. But my point was about how weak the strategy was particularly on a mass exposure like Super Bowl. Ad-supported software simply isnt shocking anymore. Netflix Spotify YouTube games news apps. people have already priced ads into the mental model of 'free'. So the betrayal the ads hinge on lands less like horror and more like mild annoyance. Thats a small emotional delta for a Super Bowl stage ('mass' again).

"Illuminating piece Sonys brand still signals "premium TV" (I bought a new Bravia three years ago after giving away the previous Bravia that we had for a decade) but the economic engine that once justified that perception (by owning core components controlling panels leading production) has shifted to China This isn't unique to Sony if you think about it.
