Roosters Marketing Department Stealing from Larry David

[Guest]

Ok just a lighthearted thread for you. I think over the past few years the efforts of the club's marketing department could generally be described as pathetic. I imagine many of you might agree. I'm willing to cut them some slack this year. Hey, everything has changed so why not them as well.

Anyway check out this new vid promoting the Easts/Souths season opener;

Seem familiar? Any of you who have enjoyed Curb Your Enthusiasm would notice that this is the Chat and Cut. Mind you it is something you would expect from a South Sydney supporter but geez wouldn't you think someone in the marketing department could actually come up with an original idea.

Judge for yourself;

I think it's great and I don't care where it comes from!
It degrades Souths so in my books it's an A+
Keep up the excellent work marketing.

Double bonus. The creator of Seinfeld and Souths getting picked on all in the one thread!

[Darkone]

almost there...

it should be more refined with a touch of finesse...

Roy Asostasi's cousin walks up to the front of the line, says nothing , helps himself to a plate & everyone looks the other way!!

You hate Seinfeld at a level that is comparitive to an Eastern Suburbs supporter's hate for South Sydney? But you have Julia Louis-Drefuss as your avatar? Am I missing something?

Yeah dude, I don't know what sort of mad shit they got over in honkers but ease up a bit, the bluester is a massive Seinfeld fan. As is yours truely.

Easts marketing department has traditionally blown, in my book.

To be fair, though, I think things are looking better this year.

The look and feel of all the promotional material is much nicer, and they seem to be making a real effort to create weekly content for members. It's called a CRM program. Customer relationship marketing. So bravo, and welcome to the internet era, Easts.

Having said that, that video sucked.

But they obviously have zero budget to work with.

I don't know anyone who works there, but I'd be willing to bet it was just a couple of jnr designers on macs and a suit. They'd be hard pressed to consistently write and produce anything of any real quality.

As am I dude but unless my reading comprehension skills are off she made a comment that suggested she was not a fan of Seinfeld/Curb. I love both of them. I think Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld are both comic geniuses.

Oh and the mad shit they have in Honkers is pretty damn good if you are in the know.

Totally agree with this. They have sucked in the past but there does seem to be some improvements taking place.

Yeh we definitely need to hire some better screen writers, it's something that's been concerning me for quite a while and I'm glad you brought it up.

The club need to lift their standards.

I've just read old love's post and you're right, I can see where you may have got mixed up there.

Read it again knowing she is a fan though.

I'd ask you to send me some of that mad shit, but SC couldn't even get a farrken tie so I doubt I'd get any hooch out of you.

In the real world do you find people often enjoy punching you in the face?

LOL - still waiting for SC to send me some info. Trust me, whatever you can get in Australia would be better but HK is good compared to other Asian countries. It took me years to get a really good contact though. There is plenty of Afghan hash available but you don't want that long-term if you value your lungs. Most the green is poor quality but there is a growing local industry, good to high quality grown in old industrial buildings and delivered to your door.
