What do you think of the "Lean Forward" MSNBC ad campaign/re-brand?
Edited on Tue Oct-19-10 07:20 PM by WilliamPitt
Do you buy it?

P.S. Does anyone here wade through the sewer that is "Morning Joe"? If so, has Scar said anything about the re-brand?

One view: http://www.mediaite.com/online/msnbcs-new-brand-lean-forward-the-biggest-campaign-in-network-history/

Your thoughts?

On edit: GE is why I'm asking.

3. I love the spots but think they could have come up with a better
tag line, although I find interesting it's THIS CLOSE to Obama's Moving America Forward. I haven't figured out if that was intentional, a combo project, or what. What do you think?

7. I like it a lot, however,
I am concerned about the centrist development, but am delighted that they seem to be taking CNN on. Now if they could just get some damn decent weekend programming!

9. There needs to be something for the other 60 to 70 percent of people who do not agree with

Fox.

We have as much money as a group then the right does even with the US Chamber Pot. We are not tied together by anything but our fears of the future. If we could pull together and pull our resources we could take government from the corporatists.

I drive home every day past a certain corner and everyday there are tea baggers there with the don't tread on me flag and their stupid posters. I don't ever see the same from us, me included.

10. It's not progressive nor should it be -it is sanity and realistic optimism and common sense

13. I like it- it's different, creative and only a wee bit annoying.
Far better then some of the campaigns the other stations have been doing.
