Good vs bad brand examplesfrom @betherewearthat

[01]

Overview

A marketing professional responds to a user's comment by critiquing FIFA's 'sloppy' methods for covering non-sponsor logos at stadiums. She presents three 'good vs. bad' examples for seats, stadium exteriors, and condiments, offering more tasteful alternatives for each. She then pivots to argue that the best strategy is to do nothing at all, citing the Super Bowl as an example, and concludes that the poor cover-up attempts generate more negative attention than leaving the logos exposed would.

Hook and payoff

The promise the opener makes, and how the video pays it back

Hook

A hypothetical premise stating, 'If I were in charge, here's how I would have done this common task correctly and tastefully.'

Payoff

Reveals a counter-intuitive, ultimate solution: the best course of action was to do nothing or take a much simpler approach, citing a real-world example of this superior strategy in action.

Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Superior Solution Critique

Systematically deconstructing a flawed execution by presenting a superior alternative for a series of examples, culminating in a surprising, overarching 'best' solution that reframes the initial problem.

  1. 1

    The Authority Claim

    Establishes the creator's credibility and personal experience with the subject, justifying their right to critique.

  2. 2

    The Guiding Principle

    Declares a simple, relatable philosophy or standard of quality that will serve as the basis for all subsequent judgments.

  3. 3

    The Case Study Gauntlet

    A numbered list of distinct examples, each following a consistent micro-pattern to demonstrate the core thesis repeatedly.

  4. 4

    The Community Validation

    Incorporates social proof by showcasing a user-submitted idea that reinforces or improves upon the creator's critique, fostering audience engagement.

  5. 5

    The Counter-Argument Pivot

    Anticipates and validates a potential viewer objection, creating a surprising agreement that serves as a transition to the final conclusion.

Transcript

I was FIFA and I had to cover up the brand logos at the World Cup, this is how I would do so in a tasteful way. I'm a marketer in tech. I was at the Mercedes Benz Stadium the other day in Atlanta watching the World Cup. I saw this, thought it looked so sloppy. My stance on this is if you're gonna do it, you might as well do it well or don't do it at all. Number one, let's look at the seats. This on the left is the Gillette Stadium. See how they covered up the Gillette Stadium logo with this piece of tape? It looks sloppy. On the right is what they could have actually done, which is get seat cover ups with the FIFA logo on it. This looks better. It looks cleaner. It doesn't look sloppy. Number two is the stadium logos outside of the stadium. On the left, you can see the Levi's Stadium. See how they just put a tarp over it? On the right is what they can actually do is put a nice panel with the FIFA logo over it. This one on the right has much more of a wow factor. Okay. The last is condiments. This one is by far the most controversial one. This one on the left is how the condiments were covered up. This looks absolutely ridiculous. You can definitely tell that it's still Heinz ketchup, Sriracha. This one on the right is if they were to just get actual generic bottles and write the labels, ketchup, mustard, whatever it is that you need on the labels themselves. I had a comment from the original video that I made of this picture, which I think is amazing, and this is really how it should be. If you're thinking, why should they take the time to invest in all this? Why don't they just leave it alone? You're absolutely right, which is why I think they really shouldn't have done anything at all and taken a note from what the Super Bowl has historically done, which is leave the stadium name as is. And we didn't even think twice about it. Instead, we're here talking about this and laughing at the absurdity of it all.
