Personally, I loved that Aussie ad campaign but in places where ordering a Bloody Mary raises eyebrows the cheeky ad understandably may not have gone down so well. Humourless Singapore, for example, simply used <i>“So where are you?”</i> (i.e. Deletion)Novel Nameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926542938056252580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206152742331306447.post-39300216979547831232010-03-31T22:22:15.316+08:002010-03-31T22:22:15.316+08:00These sorts of weird ideas are very common for tou...These sorts of weird ideas are very common for tourism and national branding campaigns. Perhaps it has something to do with the bureaucratic or political influence? Just google "where the bloody hell are you?" for a great example of a campaign which made sense to us but ran into all sots of problems overseas.
