there's def a specific gentler and more chummy british tone you don't see in american marketing. the american version of this leans toward "uh yeah! so that's a thing!" variety of obnoxious you see in marvel movies.

Have we mentioned app release notes on here before? It's a shame the aesthetic had infected Argos in this area when it steers week clear of it elsewhere in its corporate comms. Maybe I'll report the developers.https://i.imgur.com/OH9qoGI.jpg

A whale in double denim isn't everything that is blue except a delicious Bolt From the Blue™ Innocent Smoothie. Likewise Office Gossip isn't everything that is juicy.

What might be less amazingAt first, there was text here that said that this particular product could actually be made organic and in our humble opinion that would make it better but if we did that, we wouldn’t be able to add calcium and vitamins and still label it organic (only milk manufacturers can do that because they get special treatment). But then Anna pointed out to me that we can’t write that because as a company we haven’t officially decided whether or not organic is better and that for now we want to give people the option to choose. I replied that in that case, I don’t have anything to write here and she said that I shouldn’t write anything because there is nothing to question whatsoever about this product. Of course she’s right, but then again she is always right. If you’d also like to ask Anna a question where you need the right answer you can contact her here.

If you do a GIS on oat milk advert there's a dozen examples that would fit right in here.
It's sad that I'm such a curmudgeon I would rather torch the planet than buy sustainable products because their marketing annoys me.

different but similar... (thread)
a couple months ago, a fellow millennial colleague and I tried to explain the 'whimsy' fad of the early 2000s to our gen Z colleague. we were like, you don't understand how bad it was. we participated in public pillow fights — we did graffiti that said 'you are beautiful' —— fangmeli (@pangmeli) March 31, 2020
to this day I cringe when I see something with the same spiritual circuitry as that fad, like 'little free libraries' or strangers in opposite high-rise buildings sending messages to each other via signs in their windows— fangmeli (@pangmeli) March 31, 2020
I think that fad feels shameful to me because it's a confluence of things I don't believe in anymore — pushing intimacy instead of letting it grow at its own pace, performing community/connectivity instead of building it, seeing boundaries as obstructive instead of protective etc— fangmeli (@pangmeli) March 31, 2020
