Do we make kids detour around their brewery which may have its name out front and on the building? Maybe we can make all bars and liquor stores take down their signs so college kids aren't tempted to imbibe. I don't know of any arenas out there named The 420 Dome yet I imagine some kids partake. I realize the 420 Dome is a joke, today. However, as we continue to legitimize drug use in this country, it's only a matter of time. If advertising doesn't work then companies are throwing away money on it to the tune of $1 Trillion a year, not to mention salaries and of advertising folks.

No, advertising does influence consumer decisions, no one would rationally argue otherwise. I think the larger point being made is that there are SO many other ways that consumers are exposed to advertising that the name of a beer company being associated with the Sun Dome isn't going to make a scintilla of difference in the grand scheme of things. If anything, this is a better example of branding than advertising. The consumer is already aware of the existence of the product and now they are just being conditioned to familiarize themselves with a specific brand. It may result in the increased consumption of Yuengling, but is unlikely to result in the increased consumption of beer overall. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Bully pointed out, there are some things that people gravitate to. Not saying advertising doesn't work - unless your the Huuuuuuuge Kia guy in which case I would never buy from him - but there are some things that don't need a "sell". Beer and college kids, perfect together (my apologies to the State of NJ who used that perfect together slogan a century ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of data and measurable out there that speak to alcohol and underage and binge drinking. I'm all about personal accountability, however, I also am not a fan of fanning the flame when there is no need. I don't see JK's piece as a hack job vs. USF. Lots of outlets picked up the story and the overwhelming feeling was it tests the boundaries. While we are not the first and won't be the last, the overwhelming majority of colleges and universities will stay away from these types of deals with these types of companies. We are in it now, so I guess we make the best of it. Go Bulls! My problem isn't the article. My problem is I read the article and thought "I think I've read this before." then someone did the work for me and posted similar articles going back to at least 2016.

"I know half my advertising budget is wasted. I just don't know WHICH half." Advertising works, we KNOW that. We just don't know exactly how well it works. Human nature has a way of fouling up our nice neat formulas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
