Is anyone else getting tired of the Microsoft commercials airing lately?
Apple has been giving Microsoft a swift pounding for quite some time now regarding television advertising. The long awaited rebuttle from Microsoft has been anything but good. I’ve seen some of the current, “I’m a PC” commercials and I can’t do anything except cringe. The idea that sub par webcam quality video snippets from PC users with terrible fashion taste spewing random lines of nothing will produce a homerun comeback for the much embarrassed computer giant does nothing but make the company look that much worse. It just gleams of I’m a dork and my commercials are dorky too. As my mother-in-law would say…”Diva No!”
The interesting perspective on this Mac/PC battle for the user is that the Apple ads portray PC in a more lovable role. I spoke with some of my peers and they love the PC character in the Apple ads. They can’t remember a line from the PC ads, but they can turn around and quote an entire Apple commercial….and they’re PC users!
Message to Microsoft: Hire the same marketing agency that works for Apple…your stuff sucks.
