#competitiveadvertising at its brilliant best! Exciting and enriching times in terms of #marcom! And all happening with Apple ! Just some time back we had boAt Lifestyle take #apple head-on. To mixed reviews. Then there was the #brand Apple itself, getting crushed under its own #creativity! It got crushing...or was it cursing reviews...for a #adfilm for #ipadpro that was freudingly named as 'crush'! And surprisingly quickly, we have this Samsung Electronics direct pad-to-pad/tab-to-tab rebuttal so to say, that's an exceptional combination of being graceful and hard-hitting, at the same time. So much to appreciate and to learn. Note, how the same set/looks being used! Interesting, how the #communication / #messaging is less about the product and much more about human-spirit-cannot-be-crushed kind of emotional & human aspects. Indeed, 'Creativity Cannot be Crushed'! #marketingandadvertising #advertising #marketingcommunications #creativethinking

I feel people will view the Samsung ad as a stand alone ad and not really compare or connect with Apple. The connection is too subtle. The Apple ad is a strong idea led from the product offering. Samsung is clearly made to get smart with Apple. Doesn't work. By itself it's an ok ad. And let's be clear, an apple user is not going to consider a Samsung. So play to your strength, don't copy or get smart with someone else. Certainly not an Apple.
So here is the fun part. I checked with lot of people (non advertising and marketing). Guess what! They haven’t seen the Apple ad or now Samsung ad. So I guess these ads are pure self indulgence. Or made for each other. The people out there, they don’t give a ….
Sanjeev Shukla, there are two parts to it. In Boat's case, it is clearly the Kejriwal syndrome: just go after the biggest fish in the sea with the most low-life design language to find relevance and social media eyeballs. In Apple's case, it is foot-in-mouth. The agency and the brand team got too excited about an idea, which they did not rationalize to develop into a full concept before executing it. They have served it to Samsung on a silver platter.
This ad will keep reminding the viewer of Apple Sanjeev Shukla
