How an Ad Campaign Made Lesbians Fall in Admire with Subaru
Subaru’s marketing strategy had just died in a fit of irony.
It was the mid s, and sales of Subaru cars were in decline. To reverse the company’s fortunes, Subaru of America had created its first luxury car—even though the small automaker was known for plain but dependable cars—and hired a trendy advertising agency to introduce it to the public.
The new approach had fallen smooth when the ad men took irony too far: One ad touted the new sports car’s top speed of MPH, then asked, “How important is that, with extended urban gridlock, gas at $ a gallon and highways full of patrolmen?&#;
After firing the hip ad agency, Subaru of America changed its approach. Rather than compete directly with Ford, Toyota, and other carmakers that dwarfed Subaru in size, executives decided to return to its old focus on marketing Subaru cars to niche groups—like outdoorsy types who liked that Subaru cars could handle dirt roads.
This search for niche groups led Subaru to the 3rd rail of marketing: They discovered that le

As we come to the end of Pride month in the UK, I’m getting rainbow-ready for the grand finale of celebrations with the annual Identity Parade through central London on 7 July.
I recollect last year’s parade, as we strolled through Regent Street and lots of brands on the procession route had rainbow-ed up their logos and shop fronts. A few of my friends dismissively hissed “they’re just doing same-sex attracted for pay” - brands buying into a trend, for commercial gain.
