Before I start, let me ensure your Friday is even better than if you were being bathed in a sea of Crunchies by letting you know next week there will basically be no posts as I’m going to be back in the good ol’ USA.
Now I’ve given you a deep sense of joy, let me rip that away from you with some bitching.
So I saw this ad for Kontor – a company that helps other companies find their perfect space.
Now I appreciate I have the style sense of an Australian [Boom Tish] but I must admit I am a bit confused regarding the image they’re using in the ad.
If it’s an example of an office environment they think is good, then I am afraid they’re badly mistaken.
It feels more like a hotel restaurant in any 3 star business hotel you can find across the US.
Or the Costa Coffee boardroom.
But if they’re trying to make it look like the sort of office environment a company would want to move away from … an office environment that Kontor can help them find … then I hate to say it, but it’s not bad enough.
Let me be a bit clearer …
Yes, it’s horrific, but in terms of an image for use in an ad on a tube, it’s no where near horrific – or nice – enough to make whatever point they want to make and so for the poor schmuck stuck on the tube looking at it, you end up wondering if Kontor have as bad taste as me both in terms of what they hate and what they love.
