When Marketing Turns Disaster Into Gold: Apple’s Morally Ambiguous BSOD Campaign

Apple’s latest “Underdogs” film transforms the CrowdStrike outage into marketing gold, but using humanitarian crisis as entertainment reveals everything wrong with modern tech marketing. The campaign’s cynical self-awareness—possibly referencing Trevor Noah and Samsung through character names—makes disaster opportunism even more troubling for enterprise buyers.

What Coca-Cola’s ‘Har Meal Aaaah’ Campaign Gets Right—and Spectacularly Wrong

Leave a Comment / Blogs

The campaign isn’t revolutionary. It’s evolutionary—and that’s both its greatest strength and most glaring weakness. Coca-Cola’s decision to weaponise its signature “aaaah” sound demonstrates sophisticated understanding of sonic branding principles, transforming an existing brand asset into a linguistic virus designed to infect everyday conversation. When college students naturally say “pizzaaaah” or “bhaturaaaah” in canteens, the brand achieves organic cultural adoption without media spend. However, execution gaps undermine strategic intelligence, with measurement frameworks anchored in traditional advertising models rather than cultural campaign realities.

Beyond the Hashtag: When Artificial Intelligence Meets Morning Ambitions

Leave a Comment / Blogs

OpenAI’s latest marketing campaign positions ChatGPT as intimate assistant across three ordinary moments—fitness, romance, travel. Yet this seductive trilogy raises profound questions: do we need AI to solve problems humans have managed for millennia? When artificial intelligence embeds itself in our most personal decisions, what essentially human capacities might we optimise away?

Deepika Padukone in Nykaa ad mirrored by Aneet Padda in Mia by Tanishq ad

Mirror, Mirror: When Self-Love Marketing Gets a Reality Check

Leave a Comment / Blogs

Two Indian brands launched identical self-love campaigns within a fortnight. Nykaa’s celebrity-driven approach with Deepika Padukone managed just 37K views in 22 hours, while Mia by Tanishq’s authentic storytelling racked up 2.7M views in four days. As someone who understands both makeup rituals and jewellery selection, I can tell you exactly why one feels like Miss Havisham’s theatrical performance while the other captures genuine self-celebration. The difference isn’t in the mirror—it’s in what we’re really looking for when we look into it.

NVIDIA’s September Showcase: A Multi-Perspective Reality Check

Leave a Comment / Blogs

NVIDIA’s September splashdown certainly made waves—but like most tsunamis, the aftermath reveals both exhilarating possibilities and sobering realities. Their ambitious quartet of announcements deserves scrutiny across the digital ecosystem, from the DGX Spark’s democratisation promises to the UK’s £11 billion AI infrastructure commitment. Through a multi-perspective lens examining digital marketing strategy, UX writing execution, AI evangelism potential, and end-user practicalities, this analysis reveals a company with extraordinary strategic vision hampered by persistent tactical execution problems. Whilst NVIDIA’s ecosystem thinking is genuinely impressive—spanning personal supercomputers, national infrastructure, open-source development tools, and venture capital acceleration—the messaging fragmentation, pricing opacity, and availability management issues suggest an organisation struggling to scale its customer experience capabilities as rapidly as its technical achievements.

Leave a Comment / Blogs

Google’s “Nano Banana” campaign represents a masterclass in AI product positioning—transforming complex image generation technology into an accessible cultural phenomenon. Whilst the playful branding and viral mechanics drove over 200 million image edits within weeks, the execution reveals critical blind spots in user guidance, brand safety protocols, and professional integration pathways that Google must address to sustain long-term adoption beyond the initial novelty factor.

Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Marketing: A Critical Campaign Analysis

Leave a Comment / Blogs

Apple’s ‘Come Rain Or Come Shine’ campaign for the iPhone 17 Pro elevates device durability to centre stage, promising cinematic grit and premium resilience in a single swipe. With epic visuals, dramatic test scenarios and a nod to classic pop, the ad has all the makings of a blockbuster—yet beneath the aluminium unibody and Ceramic Shield 2, the marketing glitz reveals some cracks. Apple’s pitch blends technical jargon and theatrical bravado, but skips over meaningful advances in AI and real-world user empowerment. While the campaign dazzles with its urban confidence and beautiful chaos, it risks missing the mark for users craving both intelligence and authenticity. Is the ultimate Pro truly built for the future, or simply made for a moment in prime time?
