Before long he's playing for Barcelona, modelling on billboards and in need of family grounding. He buys a street, gives you a mansion..."<br /><br />Can anyone guess what it was selling?<br /><br />(Answer in the P.S. below)<br /><br />Steve<br /><br />P.S. The copy goes on to say...<br /><br />"He buys a street, gives you a mansion and you never have to worry about money again.<br /><br />But just in case...<br /><br />... maybe your pension plans need a reality check<br /><br />Visit: getarealitycheck.co.uk"<br /><br />The advertiser is Standard Life.<br /><br />I happened to work for their marketing department very briefly and a very long time ago. <br /><br />Those were simpler days and good advice about direct marketing was far harder to find. So, I'd assumed they would have upped their game considerably over the last 15 years.<br /><br />Clearly not. Maybe their head of marketing needs a "reality check".Steve Gibsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421913838337434.post-30572538283920290522010-03-09T15:55:06.882+00:002010-03-09T15:55:06.882+00:00Nice one, Todd.

You wouldn't go to a house party and walk up to a person you haven't met yet and say - "The TRUMP network is changing lives. The revolution has begun!" So why do it on twitter!?<br /><br />But if you interact, share and provide value (just like you would at a house party) - it's amazing what you can create.<br /><br />Great stuff Drayton!Todd Hermanhttp://www.facebook.com/toddherman1noreply@blogger.com
