What's the intent behind the right vs. left Twix product marketing? I don't get the purpose of spending millions on product differentiation when the two bars are the same. It feels like a candy company inside joke. Only case I can imagine is that focus groups didn't want other varieties of Twix bars, but bars like Reese's and Snickers constantly put out different varieties that generate new interest in the product. Idk that still feels over the top. Does it make sense to you?

This costs virtually nothing to do, and provides light humor. Humor, by the way, makes advertisements significantly more memorable as compared to other messaging approaches/tones.

Is this post a Twix ad?

D1 saying what we are all thinking lol.

Do you really think it costs millions of dollars to do this?

PM - but that money would be spent on advertising anyway. Doubt the packaging change cost that much either in the grand scheme of things

That’s exactly it OP, there’s no difference so the whole campaign revolves around humor (fake rivalries, pretending to find differences, etc.)

But it gets you thinking about the brand and eventually wanting to go buy one

Purely a marketing campaign to get people to buy and talk about the product.

PM you overthought this way too hard. The whole point of the campaign is that there is no difference but making ppl just think about it for half a sec. Also, any campaign costs millions, they didn’t do anything on this that is more expensive than it would have been otherwise.

This is it. What is the difference between this and the animated M&Ms or the weird transformation Snickers ads, nothing.

Interested in hearing about anyone who has added a second full time staff person. Current setup is two main advisors (have a few licensed solicitors) and one main admin.

Thinking about adding another person but unsure that we need an additional full time staff person. Recently heard an employee per every 350-400k of GDC (advisors included) was a good guideline.
