Well, we graduated from UF (The University of Florida) in 2008 (most of us, at least). After leaving the halls (or atrium) of Weimer Hall, we're off to work in advertising, all across the country! What we're up to, and what we're in to - you'll find it here! Check often to find out about the Wizards of Weimer!
Saw this last night while watching Tampa Bay win. Honestly, I was let down a bit once I realized what this was for. I really wanted it to be a new themed airline. And hell, it looked really damn efficient. It could have at least been for a current shitty airline that was now more efficient. But no, just amusing creative with an excellent demo to showcase a product. What a letdown.
Anyone who really knows me knows that deep down I really want to be an astronaut. Seriously, people used to ask me what I studied in school, and I said advertising. And they asked what I wanted to be, and I said either a rock star or an astronaut. Well, we all know that one isn't really going to work out, but there's still a chance at being an astronaut, right?
WRONG!
That is, until space tourism came along!
I may not be leading a manned mission to Mars, but if I get enough dough, I'll be able to find my way into space! Don't know how willing I am to ride on SIR Richard Branson's new bundle of joy, but give it time and there will be plentyofcompetitors that the experience will be better, longer, and more worth the money. Hell, they should follow an example set awhile ago and cut down on costs by selling advertising!
Soon enough, I'm sure we'll be looking at space hotels and other fun things, maybe something straight out of 2001 or the Fifth Element.
(yeah, that says Hilton)
With this, undoubtedly, will come all new forms of media. Or at least new versions of old ones. Hell, they're advertising on tray tables on planes now!
Now, this isn't exactly a recent phenomenon. The Nazca Lines have been around forever, yet nobody knows who their target audience was (or still is). Maybe they were advertising certain aspects of life on Earth, like spiders and monkeys (there are otheranimalsas well. "Come visit Earth! We have a zoo!" One NASA astronaut has recently come forward saying we've made contact. Is that effective reach? We've also forayed into some new media with this too, instead of using some very traditional OOH, thanks to Doritos.
Honestly, I just can't wait to be taking a relaxing cruise around the Earth 1000 miles up and look out my window and see:
And hell, it looked really damn efficient. It could have at least been for a current shitty airline that was now more efficient. But no, just amusing creative with an excellent demo to showcase a product. What a letdown.
