Pizza Hut is launching a new campaign featuring its employees. I guess they think that “It’s our people” hasn’t been done before. OK, so it’s not original. At least they’re backing it up with a lame slogan: “Your Favorites. Your Pizza Hut.” If that doesn’t make you hungry, what will?
When Dick Sittig named his highly successful ad agency “Kowloon Wholesale Seafood Co.,” he had all kinds of fun with people who mistook the shop for—who’d have thought—a seafood company. This became something of a problem when they were pitching the Porsche account. Eventually, Sitting changed the name to Secret Weapon.
Starbucks has added flavored coffee beans—caramel, vanilla, cinnamon—to its retail line-up (though not in its cafes). That Starbucks. They keep discovering customer wants and filling them—late. On the other hand, Starbucks coffee ice cream covers a multitude of sins.
