Poundland - Campaign Of The Year?

[sunny-dave]

Quite a lot of plaudits (and some rather unnecessary Bah Humbuggery from the prudes) for the Poundland Elf campaign ...

‘We’re proud of a campaign that’s only cost £25.53 and is being touted as the winning marketing campaign this Christmas!’

:+)

LOL, great advertising. Wouldn't have thought that Elf would have invited Ken to the strip poker game though.

[ummmm]

If it wasn't an advert most people would probably laugh.

'Elf on a Shelf' (the non bawdy version) has already been unceremoniously banished from this family this Christmas.

Damn things are everywhere.

[DaisyNonna]

Er, what campaign?

[237SJ]

I love the fact that the campaign only cost twenty five quid and it shows. That's so funny

[tonyav]

Christmas for a pound, Daisy ;-)

[DaisyNonna]

Absolutely no idea what it is about
Therefore it is a miserable failure

[tonyav]

And Elf thinks he has problems, at least he can wear his Elf uniform.

Have no idea what you are on about

[Mamyalynne]

The Elf started here and over the years has grown into some type of tradition.

I saw this on fb earlier. I'm still laughing. But that's because I'm just puerile. It's not just the innuendo. It's just such a p take and a v smart bit of marketing.

But it's not really for children, strictly adult humour. Imagine having to explain to a child what 'teabagging' is.

[Mamyalynne]

The Campaign in the OP isn't but the premise of Elf... has always been for children.

Forget the Elves for a bit, what a cool dude this guy is.

1) "teabagging" is not actually enunciated
2) most kids would just think "that's stupid why would he hang a teabag there" and then quickly move onto the next iphone game
3) other kids would just Google it
4) teabagging!!! Omfg. Googled it. *Mouth open in amazement*

[Mamyalynne]

What a great guy, go Rasta Claus.
