Suddenly, the team was hailed as a potential challenger to Australia. What happened thereafter is well documented. I hope there is no repeat, this time around.<BR/><BR/>Good write. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one.<BR/><BR/>Your Avis Vs Hertz comparison reminded me of two other pathbreaking ad campaigns.<BR/><BR/>The first one was by Volkswagen when they lauched the legendary Beetle car. That was a time when 'big' was the norm in US automobile industry. VW made the small car as their USP. <BR/><BR/>THe other one was Pepsi's "Nothing official about it" campaign, launched after they lost the sponsorship bid for 1996 WC to arch rival Coke. <BR/><BR/>Classic case of how to turn adversity into opportunity. <BR/><BR/>Ona different note, being an ad guy, you must have most certainly read James Twitchell's "Twenty Ads That Shook The World".Cricket Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725748573688943962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16829733.post-66095172599835789272008-04-15T22:52:00.000+05:302008-04-15T22:52:00.000+05:30"can get no satisfaction" is not our team's theme ..."can get no satisfaction" is not our team's theme song.
