Philips sorry for ad stunt
TIME and energy were wasted on Wednesday, all in the name of a new media marketing campaign for a shaver.
On Wednesday night, Philips Electronics Singapore apologised for alarming the public with its guerilla advertising campaign featuring a video of a 'bear' along Ulu Pandan Road.
The police told The Straits Times that it is now investigating if what happened was an offence of public nuisance under Section 268 of the Penal Code, which can lead to a fine of up to $1,000.
In a statement, Philips said the 'bear' was actually a mascot deployed as part of a guerilla marketing campaign undertaken by social media agency, The Secret Little Agency, to launch a new shaver.
'We had anticipated the attention that the bear would draw but had no intention to cause any alarm. We would like to apologise for any concern caused,' it said.
It is understood that the agency had not alerted any of the authorities about the 'bear' before the campaign, though it did inquire if a permit was needed to wear an 'animal mascot outfit'.
Read the full story in Thursday's edition of The Straits Times.

Marketing idiots. By all means launch a creative ad campaign, but they crossed the line when they ended up wasting the time and resources of the police, ACRES, and the Singapore Zoo......
What makes it even more inexcusable is that the SingPost saga earlier this year should have underlined the need for responsible marketing....

Well, the police is certainly pissed.... as they have stated, they're looking into whether Philips and the ad agency can be charged in a court of law.
I guess SingPost already pissed them off enough for them to take no prisoners. At least, the SingPost saga would have taught everyone the need for responsible marketing.
Hell, I'm pissed. I want policemen to chase crooks, not an idiot in a bear suit. I wonder which degree mill those marketing execs paid to get their degrees.
If any of those marketing idiots had any common sense, they would have thought: 'We're putting a dude in a bear suit near where people live, and we're passing it off as news of a real bear sighting. What are the odds that that would cause alarm and provoke a response from the authorities?'

I really hope someone would shoot it with a tranquiler(spelling) gun...
It'll be funny when the bear(someone) saw the gun and put it's paws in the air...

i wonder if it'll take a few of the idiots being put behind bars before this sort of shit ends?
and i'd put them in a PMITA prison but seeing the limp-wristed execs in the marketing places, they'd probably enjoy it
