I was going to say the same thing.
Nice to see that they are at least taking advantage of the buzz in the most shrill way possible but no one is going to confuse the iPhone 6S with 6S Marketing.
Got a tip for us?

I can't believe some people are taking this seriously. By now we all know that if they had a serious claim they would have appealed to Taylor Swift to write a heartfelt letter. THAT is how you get Apple to listen! (If we weren't all tired of the Taylor Swift jokes by now, I think I've ensured we are now!).
lol this is jus dumb....
Its called 6S Marketing....I don't get it, there are million other things that have 6S in their name / tag / title etc etc
what pathetic companies would do for little bit of attention. I would personally never use them if I had a business just for that reason...trying to ride on someone else's wave of success. Oddly enough I have also never heard of them before until now.

We're talking about them, but would you hire them to do your marketing?
And Darth Vader used the 4S.
(Sounds like 'force', get it?)
(More cheap jokes incoming? XD)

That's a bit presumptuous and arrogant to assume most other people exactly the same opinion as you. I don't think they are lame at all. I think they would have been utterly stupid NOT to have done this. I don't see anything wrong with it myself. Good for them for taking this opportunity.
No it's not. the message itself is negative. I wouldn't want to associate my product or company with this negative message. if the message was " 6s iPhone calls for 6s marketing", maybe unoriginal but at least that's positive.
I did my internship on the strategic dept. of a Marketing company.

Ah there ya go, I thought that too
Message is too whiny and negative, don't want to associate my product or company with that kinda vibe.
They don't have a slightest hope, Apple would indeed rename it. It is just a win-win marketing move for both companies to profit from.
You're reading it wrong.Ah there ya go, I thought that too
Meanwhile Huawei steals Apple's 'Force Touch' marketing term. How much more pathetic can you get?
More pathetic: The last two "sentences" of that description are run-on sentences. "The future is limitless." Lol, what does that even mean? (I'm sure Apple is guilty of using the same type of vanity phrases).
Dang Apple should have introduced Force Touch with the iPhone 4S that would have been awesome.
Who do they think they are? Nobody probably knows about them anyway.
Iphone 7 is for the 2016 release, when the Iphone finally becomes SIM card free.

I think they know who they are, hence the #weare6s. Guess what, now you know who they are too. That's what marketing is all about. The amount of irk that people are displaying in this thread is both funny and sad at the same time. This company has capitalized on a rare opportunity in a creative, fun, and cheeky way. The outrage from some folks is just silly.
Their point is, they're doing lazy marketing. Makes their marketing firm look like they are too lazy to come up with something original to promote themselves. People will quite naturally ask what patented name Apple is infringing on with the 6s, and it'll be none, if they even get the reference.
This marketing effort is as confusing as it is lazy. It makes them look like the losing team on "The Apprentice".
I've working in the advertising business for 30+ years at some major ad firms and a Fortune 100 company as a Creative Director. If we did this campaign our clients and competitors would have looked at us as rank amateurs. I'd have been embarrassed to be associated with such a poor campaign. The people on this forum get it, but trust me most people would just go…huh?
It's lame.
