Apple May Part Ways With Ad Agency TBWA, Plans to Tap Beats' Jimmy Iovine for Marketing Revamp

If I'm not mistaken, the Chicken Fat ad was an internal Apple production.
I actually liked it, myself. It played on a tv at a bar I was at and everyone oddly quieted down and watched it, which was very odd to see.
Looks like somebody's getting ready to force a dumb ass narrative unrelated to the OP
As I was saying, for example, I'm now in Spain and they were airing an Apple ad while I was writing the last post.
The part I saw was about a black woman running, in california I suppose surrounded by asian people and so on.
There are quite not black or asian people at all in my country in comparison, the scenario and the way of living it shows has nothing to do with what I can see daily. It's like airing japanese shampoo commercials directly here, I don't understand how can they use that, it's impossible to empathize!

I was going to post the same thing. And yes it was Phil.
Phil should have dumped them exactly after receiving their monumentality moronic email response.
It might have been like when people watch a train wreck? I stared at it like, "I just cannot believe that Apple thought this was a good idea".
Of course, I cannot stand Samsung ads at all, so good for Apple for not becoming nasty like them. At least they have taken the high road. And no, those Samsung ads are nothing like the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" ads. My favorite character in those was PC. He was so lovable, yet pitiable.
Actually they still do, they usually update them yearly just like the iPhone and they just updated the Mac Pro and MacBook Air slightly a few months ago. there should even be more updates this fall. The Mac mini is a little behind but it should get a refresh soon. Apple says it all the time, The Mac is a big part of the company.
Heh. Better check Samsung earnings before you commit to that.
That's what they said about Apple when the PC vs. Mac ads where running....
Exactly, I suppose that's what happens, the same I was saying before, I can't get the american ads apple airs in europe.
Exactly... and this is the genius of Beats - they convinced a whole generation that huge ass headphones are cool to wear at any time - you see folks bopping in the subway without a worry on how they look.
You and I watched different ads. The one I saw was compelling. Excellent soundtrack, with the cadence of Spartans going to war. Flashes of the culture from the participating countries. Visuals showed the passion that fans have for the World Cup participants and the passion of the Brazilian people. Can I assume you aren't a sports fan, because that conversation is the exact type of motivation fathers/coaches give sons in just about every sport imaginable. The mix of celebrity and everyman was a nice touch as well.
They may have been ticking boxes to get that result, but they ticked the right ones for their demographic. May not have been your cup of tea, as you said, you prefer Apple's more subtle ads. Nothing wrong with that. To each his own.
They are on again.... Though this time is samsung taking the piss out of Apple
Except Apple's ads were actually good.
Why are there images of so poor people and poor surroundings? are these just 'atmospheric'?
why does this take so long?
what is the point of this ad!?
they totally disconnect the feeling or experience from the product. It's just a professional with headphones, the sum is not more then the parts.

Really? Apple will ditch their multi-million dollar ad agency for a music producer's advertising knowledge?? Hahahahaha
There has been some pretty silly reporting going on around here these past few months.
So you're not part of the target market. I havent been a part of the targeted market for most advertising since I was a kid, but thats not to say the ads werent working just fine. And if Beats sales number are anywhere near accurate, their market is enormous.
