Wow an AD guy who is hunting for business disses apple to get a job from them; He's either very stupid or is getting kickbacks from samsung.
No, what's stupid is that people don't even understand that this 'AD guy' is the founder of the world famous Apple's 'Think Different' campaign. He's not searching for business, he's already done working if he choses so. He's also not getting kickbacks from Samsumg, a suggestion which can only be rated in the category paranoia and highly suggestive or, as others call it, an Apple fanboy reaction.
He's not criticizing Apple for the fun of it or to get attention but because he knows where he's talking about. So would you IF you had done your homework.
It's unfortunate that apple is seen as a big bad company that is expensive and more of a closed system, it's PR has been dreadful etc etc.
Well, Apple = a big company but 'bad' is in the eye of the beholder. Anyway, you're drifting away from the subject. This 'AD guy' is not stating that Apple is a bad company, he's stating that the advertising of Apple should change in order to regain the more 'cool factor' Apple once had. And like it or not, Apple has been drifting away from making cool commercials to less commercials and is dealing more with it's patent wars instead of coming with new exiting stuff.
But I disagree the Adverts apple make are always right on the money these days and bad when this guy had the contract they actually make bigger mistakes.
Samsung Ads are dreadful and make me hate them even more,
Hate? You're using strong words. Is samsung so bad and Apple so good? Sounds like Apple fanboy talk to me. What's wrong with some competition? I love apple products but that doesn't mean that there is no room for some criticism, especially when those are provide by people who know the business, and the "AD guy" clearly knows where he's talking about, he's even responsible for one of Apple biggest name dropping campaign ever.
they use borrowed AD lingo, music and aesthetics that aren't their own and it all seems disingenuous! I mean come on the only people who are sucked in by the ads are uneducated children who don't have a clue about tech and the history behind apple.
Well, since you're so educated you should know that Apple has copied lot's of stuff themselves. Apple made some great inventions, actually, some Apple workers did (no, not Steven himself). But to suggest that Apple is original all the way clearly shows lack of knowing the real history about Apple. I've worked and still working with Apple products way before Steve was even well known to the whole world. I've seen the ups and downs and the bad decisions Apple made trough the years. Now they are on the top and ironically found themselves on the big screen where they protested against in a time where they made the 1984 campaign ad referring to George Orwell's 1984. I'm sure you know where I'm talking about since you are so educated
Samsung are a copycat company that started right out of using stolen designs and has never created any product on par with the genius from apple.
Apple fanboy talk. Again, Apple stole a lot as well. Besides that, I'm all for copy other ideas when trying to make it even better. Competition is good for everybody and especially for the tech market. There is nothing (!) wrong or bad about copying something and making it better. And you can't state a simple square with round solid corners is been patented by your company and cant be used as a form.
What's next? Start a patent war because someone is also making a square that you claimed to have patented? It's hilarious.
For samsung to even suggest apple isn't cool is beyond me.
That's because you see things i.m.h.o. a bit to simplistic. Apple good Samsung is bad. Why bother buying a color monitor in the first place when you see the world that black and white?
Samsung can only win on value not quality. That was PC vs Mac from back in the beginning.
We're not again in a david (apple) and goliath (Samsung) race but with the so called 'post PC era'... iOS vs Android. In the long term apple's innovation will be eaten up by successive copycat design of samsung but those of us who know better will stick with the company throughout knowning products deserve to be designed and created with care.
No amount of nasty samsung ADs will change my mind based on what they class as cool or the in thing.
This is all Apple Fanboy talk. As a Apple fan myself it's kinda silly to see how far some people go with adoring a company that much. But then again, everybody is entitled to have his or her opinion. But you're missing the point totally when writing about this 'AD guy'....
