When Camera Advertising is More Effective

We've been lamenting how Olympus makes superb gear, well thought out, gentle and genteel, with a flair for breaking out of conservatism. But in many instances, the relevant marketing efforts in each country, well, they can't market for nuts. Really. I had a look at YouTube and these are the ad styles that I would pick. It's very hard to establish a hunger to want to buy your product in 30 seconds - priming the public on tech supremacy is just, well, ineffective. So don't. Establish the need some other way.

Give it to an Idol to show
