What do we think of the new Swans ad?

[shayne]

I thought it was okay. Not focused at a person that is already a Swans fan but, more designed to get a teenage to early 20's demographic which is what the club needs to focus on to keep memeberships coming in.

[Dosser]

I thought it was very NRL

[R-1]

I am not the target.

[Primmy]

Swans new add.

Opinions>?

I thought it was wet - wanting to boost membership and all its really concentrating on is chatting up a girl in a pub if given the chance.

Whilst it wasnt a good add - at least it isnt as annoying as the Collingwood army one - that add made me detest the pies even more!

I just wish the rest of the footy world was given warning of when the Pies next do filming for one of their ads... lots of pies fans together in a group = good opportunity to get rid a decent amount of collingwood scum in one go

I worked in Hospitality and Entertainment for too many years to mention and I have a very technical word for it 'Crap'. It isn't going to convert anyone and if it is aiming for the young teen to thirties it misses the mark. If you want to sell something sell the product! This didn't do that at all. If the spectacular game shots had have been shown to best advantage it would have been better. The stuff around the Tele page three meat was terrible and Sydney 30 years ago. The so called fans were in Corporate Boxes? Stuffed leather or Vynal seats? Never seen them. Again the unnecessary bit of fluff and another chance for the Advertising idiots to again demean women. Why can't a girl be sitting there in the first place barracking like mad like normally happens

Didn't work for me. I don't think it really captured what's great about our game and this club.

I think you've hit the nail on the head.

I wouldn't mind knowing what brief was given to the advertising agency.

I reckon the Collingwood ad is sensational!

[MandyMae]

They chopped off my head but I'm definitely in there too...was fun being a part of that and meeting Mickey O. I'm loving the ad!

[Gezball]

... it's like an ad for a dating site skewed at "aussie blokes" ... the bikini girls - bit 1980's... the ad misses the mark

Plays up the social side of going to the football.

I know the old farts here look down of that (people talking to their friends during the game?? OUTRAGE!!) but for a lot of people it's a vital part of going and an integral part of getting new people to come.

They also cunningly play up the fact that Swans crowd it high on the tottie factor, something I always look forward to.

[Cant turn right]

To me it's like a Lynx ad or a beer without the tongue in cheek, so actually ends up being old school.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

I half expected the Life. Be in it. ad to come on right after.
