"The ultimate phone is here" – follow up thoughts

Dear me – where did that last month go?! Anyway – it was my intention that after posting the original article to follow it up quite quickly with my thoughts on it as a marketing piece, then I looked around and it was Mid August. For anyone who can’t be bothered to click through to that original post here’s the video: Matt commented: “I’m all for a bit of stealth marketing and this is certainly entertaining but I really don’t think it pulls it off. A phone that has everything and Nova Scotia…..I can’t really see any kind of link that would make the humour and the surprise reveal resonate in an effective way ” And I agree – it’s indeed a clever and entertaining piece, and I agree that if you look deep there’s no perceptible resonance between what’s being sold and the execution.
