I am just finishing my marketing degree and this ad gives lots of hope.
If copywriting is really as easy as finding a word that relates to your product, and has a double meaning - regardless of the relevance of either of the meanings to your message - then I'm in the right business!!
Sure glad I didn't get suckered into that law degree.
I get it! Speaks volumes, and it's a, uh, loud phone! Loud phones are good, right? Right? Hmm. Guess I don't get it.
I think it also says:
1. I'm eurotrash
2. i'm hung like a horse
3. i fly first class
4. i drink belvedere
If it drank belvedere though, how could it speak volumes? It would have no lips.
My battery is dead?
"i'm super gay."
I think that the main function of cellphones in general is to enable people to speak volumes about a LOT of private and vaguely inappropriate things in public. this one is no different. (for example: on my way to work today i heard a girl on her phone saying "i like him, but he just can't make me come." yikes. like anyone really needs to know that.) speaking volumes, indeed.
I could totally make her come. I just have to set my enormous cell phone on vibrate mode, and hope someone calls me while I'm holding it up against her.
i like balls!
this ad has got an absolutely massive picture of the product in it, and that's all that matters, right?
