New brands for 2020

Brands come and go.

Tree hugging millennial and Z generation is brand fickle so the rotation of brands is more likely to speed up.  Here are some well thought brainy ideas for the our marketers to consider as we enter 2020.
  • Luxe SUV for the insider stock selling elite called 'Ghosn Escape' from Infiniti 
    • a less luxe and smaller version released in Mexico will be called 'Car los lux' from Nissan
  • Recyclable underwear made from polymers that does not need washing - 'Undyniable'
  • Lowest glycemic index sweetener derived from recycled plastics -  'Poly C-wrap' (rhymes with syrup) - only available in 2 liter recyclable bottles at Costco
  • Psychologist services for ADD clientele branded as 'Shrink wrap' (sold in 1 hour sessions - subscription for a years worth at a discount if paid in full)
  • Newest beverage with multi colored bubbles, bobas and caffeine -  'Bobble heads'
  • Quite unique and unlimited audio channel subscription - headsets free - where user only hears silence branded as 'Quiet'.
  • Age reversing cycle that you pedal backwards with an abacus on its handlebars sold as 'Beads of sweat'.  Actual cycle is delivered in parts as a daily delivery and the user has an added challenge to put it together.  Payments in installments commensurate with parts delivered.  The cycle only operates if the user is able to crack a code on the abacus (beads arrive one at a time).
The last item purchased with an instalment plan from a Vietnamese fintech brand called 'Unsung', will also earn unlimited eastbound rides on Amtrak.

Amtrak service to be named 'Crack of Don' (rhymes with Dawn) for one person, one scooter and one pet and a free joint rolled up fresh as you depart.  West, North and South bound rides as well as helmets and doggie bags will incur extra charge.

This plan has been put in place by the governors of America to allow for population balancing and is part of the new Pan Pacific alliance to make America move again.  It appears that the west coast has gotten too heavy with most of the public squatting going on here.

You are welcome very much (for this free advice) Americas marketers for running with this.

Of Jims and Johns

Here is another essay on the subject of first names. As in birth names. Or names provided to an offspring at birth. While the developed world tends to shy away from the exotic like Refrigerator or Coca Cola for their new production there is a plethora of Jims and Johns and Bobs or Robs. Speaking of which I do not think there is a categoric decision point at the time of birth if a child will be hereafter called as Bob. I mean have not yet met a toddler called Bob or Rob for that matter. At some point though the parental instinct to mouth out multiple syllables runs out and they switch from calling the crawler Robert to simply Robbie to Rob. Now speaking of - it is strange that the name sounds like something you would not want Rob to do - i.e. Rob anyone. Then why call someone that? After all Rob Peter to Pay Paul is not exactly a maxim to live a young life? Is it? Perhaps Peter or Paul might want to have a say in it? Then there is this matter of going to the John. Why degrad...

You are important to us

Followed by piano music.   Followed by 'we are experiencing heavier than usual call volume'.  Sounds macabre like bleeding during menstruation or after a ghastly attack with a weapon on a hemophiliac.  Sorry Mrs. Johnson but it appears little Gertrude here has been bleeding heavier than usual what with her night time activities competing with the woodchucks in your neighborhood. Some services even go as far as to pick a random day to say - 'if you were to call us during the Chinese lunar month when the moon is axiomatically hugging the polar star with Jupiter intravenous when call volume is light'.  Well I will be damned.  I thought  I had checked with my astrologer before I placed this well focused call but  I guess this is what you get for listening to a quack. Umph! I am not sure which marketing genius came up with this personal touch concept of informing the caller that you are really a jackass for actually calling the customer serv...

Presumptive Society

Today's world is hyper connected.  I am not so sure what it means but you hear it a lot.  It is probably hyper but not sure how connected it is.  Sugar (fermented or not) is available in many ways than before and so getting hyper is easy.  It is probably more a threat than cocaine since it is sold legally. And what is this connected stuff?  Most people I encounter seem disconnected from reality.  So going back to this assumption that we are connected there are subtle and no so subtle instances of how brands and companies and middle men try to portray someone - A linkedin profile for somebody working for X years at a place advertises to the connected network that so and so is CELEBRATING X years @ Such and Such Inc. Do we know if (s)he is celebrating or cringing?  Perhaps a better way to portray will be - So and So LASTED X years @ such & such inc. Then it exhorts the readership to go ahead and congratulate them for this lasting effe...
