“More for You”

“Be more dog” ditched for “more for you”. O2 claim that their Priority scheme is the ‘gift that keeps on giving’. The scheme provides customers with access to daily gifts, concert tickets 48 hours before their general release, tickets to movie premieres and (most importantly) food & drink deals. O2 Priority gives people added value, hence the “More for You” slogan.

They have been the headline sponsor of the England rugby team since 1995, and in 2003 launched a mobile video service offering customers to download or stream video content related to the 2003 Rugby World Cup (Pretty good year to do that, right?). In 2005, Telefónica O2 prolonged their association in rugby union, signing a new deal with the England rugby team and the Rugby Football Union (RFU).

Last week England secured a historic series victory in Australia with a heroic performance in Melbourne. The victory is so prominent because it is Englands first series win on Australian soil. Quite a remarkable accomplishment for a side, who hasn’t changed too considerably, that didn’t make it out of the group stages in their own Rugby World Cup less than 7 months ago.

Melts in Your Mouth!

Our Pure Slogan of The Week is the M&M's 'Melts in your mouth, not in your hand'.

M&M's was founded in 1941 by Forrest Mars Sr., son of Mars founder Frank C. Mars. 
Forrest Mars Sr. collaborated with Bruce Murrie, son of Hershey's president William Murrie, to create a "hard shelled candy chocolate".

While the slogan 'Melts in your mouth, not in your hand' is not the most memorable one, it has attracted the affection of consumers, considering its historic value, but also the aspirations behind M&M's.

Check out this old school ad from 1981 called "All Hands Love M&M's" which features their 'Plain Chocolate Candies'

JUST DO IT.

This week we've selected Nike's inspirational slogan, 'JUST DO IT.' as the Pure Slogan of The Week.

The Nike brand was founded in 1964 by track and field coach Bill Bowerman and runner Phillip Knight, as Blue Ribbon Sports, until it officially became Nike Inc. in 1971, taking it's name from Nike, the Greek Goddess of Victory.

Today's slogan 'JUST DO IT.' was shockingly inspired by serial killer Gary Gilmore, who fearlessly said "Let's do it" just before he was executed by a firing squad in 1977.

Pure Slogan of The Week "JUST DO IT."

Nike's earliest, memorable slogan, 'THERE IS NO FINISH LINE.' quite literally 'pushed boundaries' and paved the way for the advertising aesthetics of Nike today.
