Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[I KNOW IT]

.....but I do have time, Hell, I've MADE time, to remind everyone of the cultural highlight of 2016 which takes place tomorrow morning on Radio 2.

On the Chris Evans Breakfast Show, the Special Guest - & I do mean Special with an upper case S - is none other than Robbie Williams.

Wireless does not get better than that.

 

I know it's hard to fathom considering my dislike of Robbie but Evans ranks lower on my scale, he makes me do that fingers down the throat puke thing.

Do you know that Evans is banned for life from taking part in the most prestigous pro/am on the calendar, The Dunhill Links Championship, such is his standing in golfing esteem.

I have always quite liked Chris Evans , why is he banned from the Pro
am ?

The story given to the public was that his handicap of 10 was blatantly phoney judging by the standard of his play.(he and Nick Dougherty won with ~-40)

I can't help thinking that there must have been more to it that we weren't told as the field is liberally sprinkled with "bandits" every year.

Read a great little article today (and its a clever, subtle advert too). His dislike of exclamation marks reminded me of you.

Oh God, Jim, don't start me off, I was nice  & calm, relaxed & chilled until I read that.

This tickled me though.....


"More broadly, it’s been argued by smarter people than me, that an adult’s sanity is inversely proportional to the number of exclamation marks they use when writing on the Internet"


More seriously, this hits the spot exactly;

That kind of gushy enthusiasm is off-putting at best and patronising at worse.

And that is probably what upsets me most when I see bangs & shrieks galore in corporate comms, because it assumes we, the reader or Customer is a dumbschmuck, or reads magazines aimed at adolescent females such as "Jackie, or "16!".

It is grossly patronising, condescending & insulting to any balanced grown up.

I got these 2 Texts last week;

(Upper case is as received).

"ANTHONY, HERE IS THE TEXT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!"

"LOOK OUT FOR YOUR CUSTOMER CODE TOMORROW!!"

Who the hell wrote that - a salesman's 3 year old daughter?

And guess who sent me it. The producers of Pokeman Go? An ice cream lolly maker? A publisher of comics?  Essex Cultural Society?

No, no, no, & no.

Sytner BMW.

Now a BMW is no longer a prestige car, it's a mass produced middle of the range motor car, albeit they are very nice & well made.

I'd say, however, we can reasonably assume that BMW drivers are aged 18 or over. So they don't need to be patronised with that shite.

I'm not actually sure if this GIF represents those who write that garbage, or me.

Talking of corporate Comms, what salary would you want to be the Marketing or Corporate Comms Director of Samsung today?

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/12/business/international/samsung-galaxy-note7-terminated.html?_r=0


Good grief, this is going to be a whopper of a story, it really is.

The cost - in Sales, Product Replacement, & most of all, reputational - to Samsung is incalculable.

If the text didn't have "regards" at the end you can rule out at least one person?

Regards is not with Sytner these days, he's with Jaguar Land Rover I think.

I'm guessing you are not a fan of Sytner, right?

Have to say, they have looked after me wonderfully for 10 or 12 years now, no complaints at all. Well, UNTIL I RECEIVED THAT TEXT.

I mean, for crying out loud, since when do grown ups use all upper case? Obviously, we expect it from Yorkshire folk, they know no better, but Sytner are a class act.
