Stuck in the Bottle.
Love how this is directed,
it's hard to hold attention when talking about drink,
this makes it worth sticking with.

How Cravendale use twitter.
Recently i noticed Cravendale are on twitter. I like the Cravendale ad's so decided to follow them and see what they had to offer. What i've found so far is uninteresting and unsuprising.
After seeing their TV ad's you'd think they would have a bit of a quirky personality, maybe use the characters they've established in the ads? Include some humour? Atleast talk in the same tone of voice?
Perhaps it's just me but this seems self-indulgent, off the point and frankly pretty boring. It feels like an ad, it feels like they're trying to sell you. Trying to convince you of something. When in actual fact, if you're reading their tweets, It means you went online, searched for Cravendale and then actually spent time following them or atleast looking at their profile. So you have given them that much attention already, now you've done that you need to be rewarded. Unfortunetly it doesn't really feel like their doing that.
Feels like a missed opportunity. I'm not talking about doing things to 'Dell' proportions or the success that Ford have found by using twitter, milk is a low interest catagory after all. But adding something that makes you feel good about them is all they need, rather than feeling like you took a punt on something and didn't get much back in return.
Because next time i see a bottle in the supermarket this is what i'll remember.

Beanz Meanz Branstonz
Heinz Beanz came out 5th favourite after a shock taste survey among supermarket shoppers, conducted my Which?.
The standings are;
1. Branston
2. Aldi
3. Asda.
4. Morrisons
5. Heinz
I always buy Heinz because it's what i've always had. I've tried Branston but i never switched. Maybe the recession has caused the public to rethink their bean buying.
(p.s I don't know why this writing is orange!)

Ad Truths.
So it seems everyone hated this Warburton's ad last year, with the guy seeing Warburtons everywhere.

@music
0-10 This sound makes me go bouncy and I can shout it.
10-13 This music is good for dancing and singing and it reminds me of telly.
13-15 What music do my friends like? I must like the same music.
15-17 If I like the right music then girls will like me.
17-25 Nothing is more important in the world than [insert band] and only I and Paul Morley understand their significance. I don't care that girls don't like me.
25-30 What is it with [insert band]? They are ridiculous, strutting sell-outs. Music is just a rip-off man.
30-35 There's more to music than pop you know. This jazz stuff is fascinating, and there's music from round the world and have you heard some of those blues guys and John Cage and everything.
35-40 I'm still very much aware of today's music, there are a lot of incredible bands out there, even these days. I'll never get caught in some retro trap.
40-45 I only really listen to the music I liked when I was 17.
