“Call Jason” Pt. 2
I have to say this made me laugh. After writing my recent post about the current RACV ad, I wondered how long it would take someone to do this – and someone finally has. Here, for your listening enjoyment is someone actually ringing the RACV to speak to Jason – you know, the guy taking the mick out of his fellow call center workers on the current RACV commercial?
As the YouTuber concerned put on his post: “So the advertisment says to call Jason. Let’s try it out!!!”. I wonder how many of these calls they have got that haven’t been taped by the caller. LOL!
Hey Sal – my Dad works for the RACV and he says they get calls for Jason on a daily basis. It might be good brand awareness, but I’m sure it drives the call centre staff insane to have yet another witty Joe Public ask for Jason.
Hey you
I thought that might be the effect it was having – I wonder if they’ve added a new script for call centre staff titled “How to deal with calls for Jason”. LOL. We’ll know its a problem when we start seeing graffiti on those billboards saying “Please DON’T call Jason!!”
The funni thing is…this is my cousin…tru fact
Really bad approach to advertising – it lacks both authenticity and comedy. If the ad was funny people might see it was an act. But it’s not, so I’m not surprised they get calls for the bloke. If they thought this thr they might put Jason on the automated phone system to welcome customers. (I’m pretty sure AAMi did this at some stage.)
The sad part is some ad guys got paid buckets of cash for making this tripe.
