Season launch

[siv]

Yes Toddy is someone who quick to accept glory

But if there is a issue its someone elses problem - not mine

 

[Life's Good]

Everyone knows who the fans really want.

WTF were they thinking.

 

[some11]

Out now. Won't work on tv, too long.

This is an uber ad.

Where's the NRL launch ad.

 

[OzDragon]

Out now. Won't work on tv, too long.

It’s an ad for football with any actual football footage.

What a bunch of idiots.

 

[some11]

I'm also glad they didn't go with the usual 'Play a whole lot of the biggest hits/ best tries of the past 2 seasons with the commentators losing their shit interspersed with shots of the fans' formula.

Why not? you would think these brooding 'behind the scenes' type ads accompany an ad that highlights the actual product you are selling rather than being the sole focus.

Unfortunately the advertising budget for the NRL probably doesn't allow for this, which wouldn't matter in any case because they can't time these things for shit. Yeah we won't care in a weeks time but it's about professionalism.

Coloured immigrant?

[OzDragon]

You know what really aggravazes me? Is dem immigants. They want all the benefits of livin' in Springfield, but they ain't even bother to learn themselves the language.

Omg. Are people that dense that they need to see football action to know it’s a football ad?

Thank god the people that made the ad don’t thunk in such a simplistic way

Well silly old me expecting an ad containing the actual product it’s advertising.

Newsflash buddy, NRL, and sport in general, is simple. They just needed to show the sport at its most exciting points. There was plenty over last season they could have used.

Agree. By not showing the superior product, being the NRL on field action, these marketing"gurus" have minimalised the reach and attractiveness of a great and envied sports product.

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

hope to god you guys aren’t in marketing roles

 

[Perth Red]

Problem I see is they only do one ad, this would be a great fanbase ad but we also need a couple of others, like one targeting kids, one targeting women and one with the best of the action for non current nrl fans to get them interested. Nrl has a number of targets for marketing and one ad, no matter how good, isn’t going to reach the different target audiences.

 

[Game_Breaker]

A very forgettable ad, combined with a season launch Midweek the week before the season starts.
Sort of sums up the NRL.
Bring back the ads along the line of those used for the Winfield Cup.

I always wondered why they called it the Winfield Cup when there was no cup

Head marketing coordinator. And I’m quite successful at my job.

Yep the ad will sink without trace in a fortnight.

Me and my son where at the shooting of that commercial 2-3 weeks ago at moore park. There is a glimpe of my son at the end of the commercial.

 

[Life's Good]

I can’t understand why people are criticised for wanting a bit of league in a league commercial.
After all, isn’t the aim to appeal to casual fans by showcasing the product in the hope they become a fan.
Last time I checked Toyota had cars in their commercials. They must be a pack of morons to think a car in their ads would sell cars going by some of the comments here.

Some turd in white shoes in surry hills thought that up
