Worst idea ever - ier

Worst idea ever - ier

  •  

    The TMAG ads are pretty goofy in my opinion and adding -IER to all of their players bags is even worse.

    They come nowhere near the class of the FJ & Titleist ads.

    TT

  •  

    I could agree more TT.

  •  

    FOOTJOY,,,,,,,PLEASE DON'T HIRE ANYBODY FROM THEIR PR FIRM,,,,,,THEY HAVE GOT TO BE NUTS.

    ACUSHNET ADS ARE CLASS,,,,,,,AMEN.

  •  

    I thought the hats Sergioand Justin Rose were wearing today made exactly the wrong statement.  Neither one was "-ier."

  •  

    (IMHO)  When you compare their adverts to FJ, it is apparent that FJ is a more traditional (conservative) approach (which equates to Style and substance).

    -ICONs for All

    Way to gimmicky and what a waste of a nice bag by adding that -ier to the names

  •  

    It's just stupid in my opinion and makes them look even cheesier!

    Total gimmick and annoying.

    And yet here is an entire thread, soon to be populated by even more words of wisdom, discussing said ads.

    The purpose of an advertisement is to draw attention to ones self, hopefully in a positive way. Voices here are less than thrilled with it so far. BUt I have heard many who talk about the different players in the ads and their -ier lines with humor. The current leader at my club is Sean O'Hair, who after being told his -ier line states, "I'm not saying that."

    While a big chunk of the lines are a little whacky, I give props to the TM team for taking the ads in a direction that has a little whimsy and some fun to it. No over the top technology claims or terminology discussions only golfers get. TM is poking fun a bit at themselves and have taken this campaign all out. Good or bad, they have statred a conversation with the public and the public is responding.

    That's advertising....

    i didn't mind the add.  i thought it was humorous and got the point across.  but it got old quick.  and then putting that in their bags was just ridiculous.  it was a small amusing thought that they took WAY too far.

  •  

    Th, once again, you nailed it. Still, wouldn't you love it if O'hair would've said, "it makes me O'Hair-ier"? Add toi it, the campaign must be working - several of our members bought the R1.

    Speaking of advertising, those GolfNow ads are pretty memorable. Whenever my wife hears the commercial or someone just mentioning GolfNow, she blurts out a "GO PLAY". And she just watches the golf with me, she doesn't play. How can you not say "GO PLAY" when you hear that.  

  •  

    Absolutely agree, the comercial is too NOIS-IER for me and annoying-IER than most commercials, time for a break when I see this one come on.

    The TM ads have gone too far with a concept that was never more than mildly amusing.  Give me the 'Mark Of" anytime

    Do not think we ever have to worry about FootJoy--ier.  Class is as class does.
