Apple Jacks’ almost 30-year-old TV commercials oozed the stereotypical Gen X cynicism. These weren’t likable kids eating breakfast, they were little monsters who need to be reminded that corporal punishment was still considered ok in the 90s. The 90s… back when Cross Colours were so cool and being smart or different was so uncool (unless you had a dragon, and yes, I know that’s an 80s movie, but it aired relentlessly on HBO in the 90s).

Brands today are learning they can’t trail children home from school, throwing rocks and shouting slogans. Thank you, I really did want to relive that game where you had four sacks and an interception at Ben Lippen. I honestly just wanted to get back to Batman or the Disney spoof, Darkwing Duck. I remember walking home trailed by at least 7 or so neighborhood bullies who would throw rocks or insults, and if they caught up to me, they would throw me around a little. Maybe they all were eating Apple Jacks for breakfast. In 2017 Champion flourished, up 33 percent in 2017, and 40 percent in 2018. These are the dudes who still post black and white photos of their football playing days from high school on Facebook. Apple Jacks commercials from the 90s seemingly made the assumption that we would clique up and heap derision on cereal-incorrect boneheads. I may have been less annoyed with Apple Jacks… Yet, I still obsess over the commercials after 30 years. Or More Accurately Will Anyone Read Your Marketing Email? This is honestly fortunate for all, as companies can stop making disastrous assumptions about their customers and creating messaging that annoys the shit out of us. They can no longer “define their identities” by creating the story they believe “their audiences want to consume.” Customers define the brand. Thanks to influence (large and small) on Instagram, you can now buy shirts with oversized Champion logos. Is Email Dead? Apple Jacks’ almost 30-year-old TV commercials oozed the stereotypical Gen X cynicism. new shoes. There was Camp Leewood where rainy days were soooo dull that you had to smuggle in cereal, milk, and spoons for something interesting to do (I doubt this message would survive ridicule in our more health-conscious times). “It’s the Age of the Customer, the era of the Internet of Me.”. Brand names don’t have the same cache as when they ruled the television break or when they anchored the mall. “We just do,” and although the commercial usually ends at that point, I can imagine the next line being, “so leave me alone” or “just go to hell, already.”. You can buy Champion slides that are almost 100% logo. Outside of their NBA Jerseys in the 1990s, no would be caught dead rocking anything with their logo. And bonus, any leftover milk will be so sweet it’d give the Nesquick Bunny diarrhea. I still imagine Apple Jacks’ eaters as untrustworthy assholes all because of 90s Apple Jacks commercials. Our cereal-eating heroes have the answer; just because it doesn’t taste like apples doesn’t mean we can’t love them. And look, we have our first #okboomer sightings, from a time when the # symbol was either considered the “pound symbol,” “number symbol,” or the thing you played Tic-Tac-Toe in (we didn’t have Xboxes, we actually played Tic-Tac-Toe on purpose). '”, “It’s the Age of the Customer, the era of the Internet of Me.”. And not rely on an ad firm’s gut or a few shit kids they scrounged up at the mall for opinions or focus groups or whatever. The good thing is that organizations now engage with prospects, customers, and the world at large in ways inconceivable a decade ago. Marketing, Television, Social Media: Designer, Compositor, Editor, Producer, 90s hip hop aficionado, and dad in the DC metro. It doesn’t matter what my friends or I thought of the Champion brand in the 90s. I knew more than one person that would remove the C logo from their sweats. new year. My getting beat up quite often was never Apple Jacks fault. My beef was always with the Saturday morning advertising that assumed we all wanted to join a nasty little cereal cult. If you are into dessert for breakfast, Apple Jacks will do the job. The not-so-good is that organizations no longer control their brand identity as they once did.
