Gong cha bubble tea uses AI for vertical video ad
In new AI generated campaign, âMini Pearl Adventuresâ, Gong cha is using vertical video to promote its new Mini Pearls
In news which surprised no one, Protein World has reported a bomb threat against them, while protests are scheduled in Hyde Park for the weekend. But, I cannot stress this enough as UK Correspondent, 99.999% of Londonders could not give less of a shit about these ads. Even working in an advertising agency, I have not heard it discussed even once amongst colleagues. This really is the biggest storm in a teacup, whipped up by the mainstream media with a taste for a good story.
This is what is actually happening - on the ground.
A very small number, I estimate between 10-50 'in-carriage' tube posters have been vandalised by those who find them objectionable. (For those wondering what proportion of ads this represents, I have submitted a freedom of information request yesterday, and am waiting to hear back on the specific details). With regard to complains, they appears to break down roughly as follows:
1) These ads are 'body shaming' and/or 'fat shaming', because they make one feel pressurised into dieting or conforming to a perfect body.
2) These ads imply that only those with a "Beach Body" should be allowed to go to the beach. They imply that those who don't live up to a physical ideal are not welcome.
3) These ads are generally insulting/ demeaning/ upsetting, because the model is too thin and she obviously had a breast enlargement and I feel pressured into conforming.
4) In addition these ads are promoting an unhealthy lifestyle because protein power as a meal replacement isn't good for you.
It's interesting to pose the question - where was this small minority of extrememely vocal complainers when this ad was posted all around London only a few months ago?
