Predictably, Elon’s antics are running Twitter into the ground. Advertisers are down 42%. This was always a terrible move, but I think him making himself CEO and spokesperson was even worse. He could have brought in a competent person with social media experience who wasn’t controversial. If this trajectory does not change Elon will be forced to sell, or a competitor will emerge and eclipse Twitter.

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.
Have you seen Mars advertising budget? 😂 These campaigns, in aggregate, cost hundreds of millions.
It’s a political joke. Whether or not you consume content from the Left or the Right, it’s still poison for your brain

Plot Twist: D2’s take on politics isn’t wrong
Is this post a Twix ad?
This fishbowl ad cost millions of dollars
Well you’re thinking about this now. I guess marketing goal achieved 😊
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

Because left Twix is way better..
I actually prefer Andrew Yang’s “not Left Twix, not Right Twix, but Forward Twix”
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.
They were all the just the winning pitch by some ad agency for the multi-million dollar campaign. It will be a different ad campaign next year.

Stupid marketing campaign. First time I’ve ever heard someone discuss Twix in casual conversation.
Chief
I am less inclined to purchase their product because of this thread 🫡
This is such a right Twix eater question
I wasn't expecting so many right Twix stans in this bowl 😅
Left right Twix makes me want more Twix for some reason
😘

Left Twix is better. Period.

Jokes on you, they aren’t the same.
It a trivial amount of money to have two packaging variation and timely with the election and cultural hysteria surrounding the left vs. right sides of politics.

It’s like that year round and has nothing to do with politics… speaking of those being hysterical
They are different. One has more caramel and one has more crunchy
Crash course in marketing: this money was spend entirely to get YOU to post this picture on fishbowl
I’m not making this up. Your post is the example that all marketing agencies strive for
Left Twix supremacy ftw 🙌🏽
Chief
Right Twix for life
I literally didn’t know this was a thing till you brought it up OP so thanks for contributing to their marketing campaign

Bro it's a joke. Not that deep
