I'm a big Mischief fanboy but their new NPR campaign feels soft. Especially given our current news environment. 🤷‍♂️

Soft sounds like an appropriate adjective for NPR

so it’s a good idea then?

Feels like this weeks’s news makes the bar higher for a news org. Not their fault but the context is begging for something more provocative.

This makes no sense lol at least IHOB or whatever it was did

maybe the only staying visual capital the brand has, used in a new way, I’m in. but with only three characters, I wanna say “what, where…” And that’s what falls flat, for me. But eyes-wise it’s pretty tasty thinking. OK 7.5/10

good looks! and then we’d all be glued to WHx though, which (to me) reduces the signal strength to the brand even more, again why it falls flat. It’s clever but not enough meat on the bones to says it’s got legs.

maybe used a rotation of emojis on the N (🤯PR, 😂PR, 🫨PR…), “emotional public radio” would hit a wider audience than “curious people who ask one-word questions.” 🤷‍♂️

It just feels a little too transparently like they’re trying to replicate what the NYT did with Trump’s first campaign. But NPR isn’t nearly as bold or essential (wtf is a ‘right to be curious’) and even if the brand had the cojones to make a bigger statement, trying to gain relevance from the current state of the country feels pretty Terri Gross to me.

Why

Weak idea. And pro-bono, so a pretty blatant award grab.

Whatever. Next…

Additional Posts in Advertising

A few years in and I’m finding that the people who have made their entire persona “advertising creative” are secretly the most miserable. I’m taking it as a lesson to treat this as a job and not a calling because it’s ultimately pretty empty.

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
