Still waiting Trev...

I did a little experiment. 

It says: @JayneHolness my darling. just tweeting to say i got your question & I'll have my reply up this week. Stay pretty angel. Trev  (28th Feb)


Granted your average Kulula traveller outside the advertising industry would be highly unlikely to post a random question on the website, a response would have been nice.  


On another note and perhaps more to the point, despite "Trev's" lack of response, the website otherwise remains quite engaging and is a novel idea. Twitter is a waste of time for this campaign though.  I just think they need to decide to what extent they bring "Trev" to life. It feels like a character was created to communicate sales pitches in an engaging way (brief), and Trev's role in this has remained just that when it feels he has quite a bit more potential.


Slight Sadness.

To go to the effort of getting a t-shirt made about your gripes means you must have been seriously let down...

Certainly a noticeable piece of mobile advertising and I'd like to argue, quite impactful too. It reaches a primary audience of friends and family, who likely trust the communication medium (him). Outside of the audience, because of the nature of the medium it doesn't intrude on anyone's else's space who sees it nor interrupt their preferred activities . It's authentic- you simply take it as his point of view and not an exaggerated brand promise you're persuaded to believe all in the name of profit-chasing. You actually want to ask more questions and engage with the communication. It got me in my local spar too- pretty targeted geographically and because of that, it somehow makes me a little more inclined to believe the integrity of the story behind it.
