I'm not part of the Marketing team, so I have no idea what the further plans are

Re: Tennant and Bolt return in new Virgin Media campaign.
 

And of course Sky and BT have never been reprimanded by ASA.:rolleyes:

Re: Tennant and Bolt return in new Virgin Media campaign.
 

Who is saying they have never been reprimanded? The point was the scale of virgin medias banned adverts...25 banned adverts in 18 months as you obviously missed that :rolleyes:

Was it not one of virgins/David Tennant's adverts which was banned not long ago for saying Goodbye to Buffering? :nworthy:

Re: Tennant and Bolt return in new Virgin Media campaign.
 

That one is on the same scale as Gordo's "Goodbye to boom and bust" :D

I wish they would spend this money on something useful. Like reducing my bill, for example.

Re: Tennant and Bolt return in new Virgin Media campaign.
 

That doesn't track. All companies separate out marketing and promo budgets from other costs.

Re: Tennant and Bolt return in new Virgin Media campaign.
 

Just because they are organizationally separate does not mean neither can change.

Both are are still money, and both count towards their bottom line in the end.

Re: Tennant and Bolt return in new Virgin Media campaign.
 

However I doubt very much within any company with shareholders you can simple divert a marketing budget to offset price increases. The financial structure is more complicated than that and I reckon most investors would be more willing to allow a company money to advertise than most of things, as it's seen a positive thing to do.

Plus even if it were possible, the pricing difference most customers would see would be negligible, and the long term impact for the company would far outweigh the short term benefit.

Re: Tennant and Bolt return in new Virgin Media campaign.
 

Perhaps, but consumers care about the benefit to themselves, not the benefit to the company.

Our 0.1% pay rises this year are negligible but the unions still spent millions fighting for it... :-/
