does the "New Coke" strategy to demand "Old Coke" still apply? old vs. new

with everyone wanting and thinking they need the next new new thing


 


--- does the "New Coke" strategy to demand "Old Coke" still apply?

vs.
 
 
on April 23, New Coke was launched with fanfare, including prime-time TV ads. Company Chairman Roberto C. Goizueta proclaimed New Coke “smoother, rounder yet bolder,” speaking of it more like a fine wine than a carbonated treat.

But public reaction was overwhelmingly negative; some people likened the change in Coke to trampling the American flag.

Sounding retreat Soon people were hoarding cases of the old stuff. In June 1985, Newsweek reported that savvy black marketeers sold old Coke for $30 a case. A Hollywood producer, giving an old vintage its proper respect, reportedly rented a wine cellar to hold 100 cases of the old Coke.

On July 11, Coca-Cola yanked New Coke from store shelves. “We did not understand the deep emotions of so many of our customers for Coca-Cola,” said company President Donald R. Keough.
New Coke thus joined rabbit jerky, clear beer and the eight-track tape in the pantheon of marketing goofs, products that seemed like good ideas at the time.

Old Vs. New marketing?

Is it really old or really new? and is senior management just messing with you?

Can QB's who are rumored to leave town use that one now with Manning out of the Colts & buck'n with the Broncos of mile high Denver?


Do I want my old QB in Pittsburgh or do I want to see another champion QB for the Steelers?


Can QB's build & sustain brand loyalty today through #NewMedia?

Roethlisberger responded Friday on WDVE-FM.
"First of all, how does anybody know what I'm doing at home, when I'm watching film or I'm looking through my playbook at home, unless someone's got cameras set up in my house and they're spying on me?" Roethlisberger said. "But then they'd see the truth that I am doing that stuff."

Obama Says If You Like Your Plan, You Can Keep It. For Real This Time

Admitting that "the roll-out has been rough so far," President Obama on Thursday morning announced that his administration is giving insurance companies a one-year grace period on cancelling policies. As for Healthcare.gov? It won't be perfect on December 1, either. "Buying health insurance is never going to be like buying a song on iTunes."

Old media’s painful lesson: digital consumers are the new masters



The recession has rocked the traditional media ivory towers and, even though internationally advertising is showing signs of a return to growth, the traditional pillars of media are now at the mercy of a potent new force: the digitally empowered consumer.
 


But sometimes old media is cool ...

There's nothing like listening to the needle scratch of an album being played on a turn table

1 of the Most Important Shows I've Ever Seen; _ ;Setlist for Wilco 1999 Pittsburgh Metropol

This show taught me how to rock it out when your backs against the wall in a tight space place with shitty sound and drunk assholes (this includes myself) and, therefore, made my appreciation real for those true blue pretty gritty rockers who toll-by-toll go out on the road and give 110% (+ a little magic) for hand-claps.

    I only want them more, it's so sad but when they smile
    God, i've been had
    I get hypnotized and i wanna go to bed
    I used to pick up shells cast off the reef
    One christmas i got a funeral and they handed me the receipt
    How ever many lies i tell without my tongue
    Get twisted into memories 'til i believe them some
    And i toy with you
    And you toy with me
    Can you stop this please
    God bless all the late night girls, and they're coming out to smile how can anybody feel bad
    It makes me tired and i wanna go to bed

    These girls are better off in my head

    In Session: Lou Reed - Sweet Jane (poetic lyrics included w/ poetic rock & roll guitars)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foMNiug0WGc
    Standing on the corner,
    Suitcase in my hand
    Jack is in his corset, and Jane is her vest,
    And me I'm in a rock'n'roll band Hah!
    Ridin' in a Stutz Bear Cat, Jim
    You know, those were different times!
    Oh, all the poets they studied rules of verse
    And those ladies, they rolled their eyes

    Sweet Jane! Whoa! Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!

    I'll tell you something
    Jack, he is a banker
    And Jane, she is a clerk
    Both of them save their monies, ha
    And when, when they come home from work
    Oh, Sittin' down by the fire, oh!
    The radio does play
    The classical music there, Jim
    "The March of the Wooden Soldiers"
    All you protest kids
    You can hear Jack say, get ready, ah

    Sweet Jane! Come on baby! Sweet Jane! Oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!

    Some people, they like to go out dancing
    And other peoples, they have to work, Just watch me now!
    And there's even some evil mothers
    Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
    Y'know that, women, never really faint
    And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!
    And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush!
    And that, life is just to die!
    And, everyone who ever had a heart
    They wouldn't turn around and break it
    And anyone who ever played a part
    Oh wouldn't turn around and hate it!

    Sweet Jane! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane!

    Heavenly wine and roses
    Seems to whisper to her when he smiles

    Old English Tapestries

    Sunset in the Hudson Valley was a heavenly display of warm generosity

    Driving into Pennsylvania we started to feel the road from Newport, R.I.
    and may have even brought that Atlantic gail besieging our Volvo wagon.
    It was evident we needed to pull over to eat, drink, shower and sleep.
    We were tired however still stimulated from being highly aware from travel.
    This spring night warranted hot toddies. I downed three or four and ate ribs.
    My eyes also fed me and catapulted me back in time as a fellow into an old
    English Tapestry on show at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London from June
    14 to 28


    More than 15ft wide and almost 6ft high, it is a work of art, a portrait of Elizabethan life and a triumph of craftsmanship.
    Not to mention worth a million pounds.
    For four centuries this magnificent tapestry remained hidden from public knowledge.
    It was only thanks to dogged detective work by an art dealer that it was rediscovered in the U.S. and brought back to Britain, where it will be displayed this month before going on sale with its sevenfigure price tag.



    The intricately woven masterpiece was created in the Cotswolds workshop of William Sheldon, considered the finest tapestry maker of the 16th century. It probably took between one and two years to produce.
    Art historians believe it was most probably made to order between 1580 and 1590 for a landowner or merchant to hang above a panelled baseboard in a Tudor country house.
    Sheldon's craftsmen were mainly Dutch Protestants who had fled religious persecution in their homeland.
    "The modern-day equivalent of the first owner would be the equivalent of an extremely-rich hedge fund manager buying a Picasso," says Will Bennett, spokesman for the Grosvenor House Art and Antiques Fair where it will be displayed.
    The wool tapestry with silk highlights is one of only around 20 ever made by Sheldon. Only a small number have survived and few are in such good condition, since it has not been exposed to daylight or smoke.


    'It is one of the most important Sheldon tapestries to have survived. It is a stupendous thing'
    It was designed to provide a lyrical and often humorous picture of English country life during the reign of Elizabeth I.
    Art experts believe the image portrayed is based on idealism rather than the harsh reality.
    For example, the castle in the centre of the piece is based not on any genuine English home but was almost certainly taken from an image of King Solomon's Palace printed in a German version of the Bible produced in 1564 by Jost Amman.
    The work also contains several of Sheldon's trademark designs - such as the intricate border featuring gargoyles and coats of arms - yet despite this, it has only recently been revealed as an example of the tapestry-maker's work.
    Around the palace a hunting party gallops through woodland glades full of wildlife, swans swim serenely across a lake, and a man with an early type of gun outrages anglers by firing it at some ducks and frightening the fish.

    And so walking years later walking with the big little Lhasa Apso into an autumn morning that has lifted the dark veil of late October night
    revealing a tranquil scene of a 21st century village along the Ohio River from the city of Pittsburgh
    with valleys full of unforgettable life.
    I have my own morning soliloquy transacting:

    "Fall flourishes with pheasants for peasants and yet it's winter who is the victor - in its acts like a real baron."

    Re-launching the Past to Create the Future? Good or bad for Profits & Culture?

    Today Fairchild Fashion Media announced that they're bringing back M magazine, which back in the 80's was initially known as M: The Civilized Man. "It will be a big beautiful magazine with a circulation of about 100,000," Fairchild Editorial Director Peter W. Kaplan told the New York Post's Keith Kelly. "It will be for guys in their thirties and forties who are Web-savvy but want to hold onto print."
    It's an interesting move. And we get the gist: a high fashion-focused magazine for men, aimed at men of a certain age who might remember M in its glory days or younger men who want to enjoy a magazine printed on paper. It also makes sense since there's a dearth of American high fashion men's magazines. http://www.theatlanticwire.com

    Re-launching the Past to Create the Future? Good or bad for Profits & Culture?

    I certainly read M: The Civilized Man and learned to appreciate great tweeds & classic European American looks. This magazine definitely influenced my view of fashion & pop culture.

    I read JFKJr's George Magazine to shape my politics. (Wish it had more time here on this planet).




    I'd like to see both of these magazines make a comeback via a re-launch. I think it would be a  positive source of content for impressionable young male minds who could use examples of what to aspire to for the next level in becoming a modern day man of good character.
