I figured this is the exact type of commercials they would do. Might as well hype your new toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockin Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Are these going to be on TV or just social media? Something about them seems off.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Another round of underwhelming commercials. Meanwhile, the Mariners' are still awesome: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-leag...-013301127.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I feel like the Sox commercials and marketing have tailed off in quality over the past few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooks Boyer, it would appear, is among the elite in Reinsdorf's Ring of Loyalty, as he can't even put something exciting and fresh around an awesome offseason.

ewokpelts Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Brooks is not the guy writing the ads. They have an ad agency for that. If you have a better idea to draw in casual fans, you should give the new manager of fan engagement a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 A few years back, they had been with a smaller agency. They did some more edgy stuff like Grinder Rules, then the South Side Board of Tourism. The Sox decided to go with a big name agency and went over to BBDO Chicago, one of the biggest. At the time I was psyched because I thought it meant a bigger marketing budget. But honestly, I now wish they were back with the smaller, edgier firm. I liked those previous campaigns. Most of the last few years, the ads have just fallen flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would think that BB is architect of the team's marketing image, and approved this crap, or at least the general idea behind the campaign, at some point in the process. And he's likely instrumental in choosing the ad firm. I'm already excited. It did nothing to make me more excited. It failed. QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Mar 20, 2015 -> 01:43 PM) If you have a better idea to draw in casual fans, you should give the new manager of fan engagement a call. These ads suck. People are paid loads of money to make ads that don't suck. They had a ton of fan excitement and momentum to work with, and managed to make completely flaccid, too-serious, 30 second slices of boredom.
