If you're looking for BS marketing-speak this is amateur work. Want to see the pros? Sit back and watch Arnell take it (and Pepsi) to the next level: https://www.goldennumber.net/wp-content/uploads/pepsi-arnell... . There's literally a slide that references "light path with gravitational pull" -> "gravitational pull of Pepsi", "relativity of space and time" -> "Pepsi aisle." Or the slide referencing the expansion of…
Is this real? This is genuinely one of the funniest and most absurd documents I have ever seen in my life. I am crying I am laughing so hard. I genuinely hope someone pitched this to Pepsi EDIT: I have confirmed this is from a real creative agency, but was purely for entertainment and was not a real pitch deck.

Apparently it's real!

I think Coke's pitch deck goes something like: - Never acknowledge the existence of Pepsi. - Always be classic. - Always be timeless. I think brands that work well do so because they keep a simple message and avoid the allure of self-justifying marketing people.
Their product is also simply better. More people prefer it. The best mousetrap is still a big lever.
Double blind tests say otherwise.

#95The funny thing about this whole shit show is that could have been me. Before transitioning to tech in SF, I had a career in the entertainment industry down in LA. My buddy pitched me with marketing jargon just like this for a Coachella style festival, and I got sucked in. We spent on and off a year working on it and actually made decent progress. The biggest band we had on board was Pearl Jam. Eventually it became o…
Yep. Before I got into technology, I was a lighting designer, and still dabble on and off. Producing a safe, quality, decent-sized event is hard and it is even harder to do so profitably. Every now and again someone asks me to be part of organising something, and my answer is always "no, thanks for asking, and please rethink your plans". I have seen too many experienced organisers fail at this - even when you do everything right, things can still go badly.

#96Are these "influencers" paid for what they're doing? Is there a paper trail? Or were they as swept up in the hype as everyone else, blithely talking it up for that reason? If the former, what culpability do they have in any potential lawsuit?
> On Monday, the festival organizers were accused by attendees of fraud and were sued for $100 million. It might only be a matter of time before the Fyre Starters are part of a lawsuit, too.
That would be cool :)

The double blind tests rely on the fact that a small dose of extra sweetness is more palatable. However, a large dose is cloying.
Also, they both taste like garbage. Drink coffee, instead.

#98As evidenced by sources such as 1 and 2, the management at Fyre are not the kind of people who will accept responsibility, or blame.
Knowing how big the budget was, how much money and influence the people involved wield, and how out-of-balance the US legal system is, I feel extremely bad for the various contractors who will inevitably get sued to oblivion for this mess. I can just imagine how it feels, trying to to do your best with a boss who won't accept no for an answer, then being forced into bankruptcy once things go sideways.
