I saw it and thought it’s a great example of when the strategy is showing.

They’re a brand that is about personal achievement powered by social connection and being part of a group of people wealthy enough to afford it. The ‘nation’ thing says ‘we’re in it together; we help each other go further (but with some friendly competition.’)

That being said, it kind of makes me barf. I’ve seen too many right wing politicians use identical or similar slogans. In addition to Fox News and Trump there’s also a 🇨🇦 Premier who successfully united his base under the slogan ‘Ford nation’ (his last name.) At one point the signage they used ripped off the Ford Motor company logo and they got a cease and desist.

When you’re proud to have purchased this product, and using it gives you joy — you tell people about it. In doing so, you find other people that feel the same way about it (given the interconnected-ness of the world we live in) and the “nation” sort of creates itself. So it’s not something marketing can accomplish, and it’s more common for products/experiences/ideas that are consumed collectively vs solitarily

Is anyone familiar with filial responsibility laws? I have major doubts that my in-laws have enough saved for retirement / it seems they are planning to rely on SS despite currently living a pretty lavish lifestyle (brand new house, luxury cars, routine spa appointments, expensive dinners, etc.). I’ve heard of cases in PA (luckily we don’t live there), but what about other states? Also, I’m assuming if things go south at the end they can rely on Medicaid for long term care?

Hi creatives! I need your help here. A quick background:

Junior copywriter based in Toronto here. Came to Canada about a year ago and did an internship at Klick Health.

Once it ended in late August, they didn't take on ANY intern full time. Been job searching for the past 3 months. Would really appreciate any leads/insight on some entry level gig or internship that might be available in this city. I know it's year end and it's hard, but I am still hopeful as I have seen people still get hired.
