Thoughts on new Crows tv commercial.

[chazwazza]

Looks really good, I don't go for much football advertising, most of it is cringeworthy but this is great.

Port power fans already whining about it so we must've struck a chord

Was about to post the same thing!

Nice work ripping off the top Facebook comment

And that too!

 

[Deaneus!]

Before plagiarism accusations get thrown around, it's actually possible for two people to think of the same thing at the same time.

They've done well this time. I really like the emphasis on the crow, it was well done without being over the top. I've been critical in the past of this stuff, but I'm happy with this.

 

[Jbudds]

It's ok, but it lacks a bit of crescendo IMO.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Even a dumbass caller to 5AA.

You talking about the "Crows fan"?

Even Cornes didn't like it. Another stamp of approval for me.

 

[treeman]

Yeah Rucci and Cornes just said they don't like it.

It is definitely impressive that's for sure.

What? You mean that fans will now have to ring in and increase ratings? Incredible!!!

 

[Archie87]

Port trolls like Rucci and grumpy, old has-beens who barely understand technology such as Cornes aren't our target market with this promo ad.

If they don't like it, that's a good thing.

Is this thread serious who gives a toss about a TV commercial, did you think it will convert some supporters from other teams as ports TV commercial what will it achieve, membership is pretty much saturated the only way for either club to take it to the next level is to be successful which attracts flip flop members

I like it. The imagery is quite nice and ties well into the club identity that has developed since last year. I particularly like how they haven't gone down the normal advertising route of being as loud as possible, for example: loud sound effects, music, announcers, even loud colours. Instead they've gone with something quiet and as a result it stands out from the crowd, and what stands out from the crowd draws more attention.

I hope this doesn't turn into another Doedee thread.

The one that supported Rucci vs Crows.

The envy is tangible.

Wants someone from here to make a rev up video! They're always the ones to watch. Something to do with the pain of losing Danger, Walsh etc and being able to win through adversity (Dogs game). That would give me chills. Unfortunately I am not adept at making movies really.

 

[Brentmeister]

The envy is tangible.

They're desperately trying to create some more "witty" hashtags so they can trend on bigfooty and pat each other on the back. They're a tragic lot.

 

[Wright Away]

The tears are real over on the Poort board. Maybe they can steal another slogan or pregame ritual and put that in an ad.

That's a good question. You're right, success is the best way up, but that's measured in premierships and even runners up in a grand final are considered failures. A flag is enormously difficult to get and on average occurs every few decades for most teams.

An advertising campaign is much cheaper and easier to do and get right but with lower return. It consolidates current supporters and maybe attracts waverers and kids for not much effort.

 

[baldandbroke]

Well done ad. Definitely shareable which is important now-a-days.

The only bit of animation I didn't like was the final one with the four people jumping like in a toyota ad Pity, as it could have been a real exclamation mark on a very professional video.

 

[kirky]

The messages are subliminal but effective.

You gives a rats toss bag what others think - our mascot is tangible not a frickin power cord!

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Why do people keep going to the Port board? Who gives a flying **** about Port? I'm sick of hearing about what's going down on their board.

 

[jackster83]

I'm just glad we didn't let Smart anywhere near this one. Keep straightening those picture frames Nigel.

I know, Right?

I mean it won't generate the SANFL extra cash via increased attendance at AO so who cares.

How would you know?

 

[Cleric]

Maybe Im the odd one out.
I love the murder of Crows theme, but it was pretty uninspiring. Seems very slow paced and played down.
A bit more tempo and energy to it would have been great.
