Marmite lands in trouble over ‘Neglect’ ad
Hmm, dunno what to make of this.
It’s a new Marmite ad (from A&E/DDB presumably) purporting to show ‘in danger’ jars of ‘love it or hate it’ Marmite being rescued and despatched to good homes.
But it’s already attracted a volley of over 250 complaints in the UK in just 24 hours.
Is this just another example of idiotically sensitive people who’ll complain about anything or evidence that the documentary-style approach is just too realistic, given that it obviously mimics some potentially pretty horrible situations?
Can’t say I’m a fan of documentary-style ads anyway. They’re a bit too Marmite for me.
