How The Switch Ads Are Doing
from the so-so dept
Like them or hate them, it seems that just about everyone has an opinion on Apple's "switch" ads. Some people are surprised that they're taking a swipe at their "partner", Microsoft, though plenty of others think it's a good strategy. As for the ads, themselves, they've received very mixed reviews. They don't seem to appeal to one gender more than the other, but it seems that folks in their 30s like them a lot better than people in their early 20s (though, even then, only 23% of the folks in their 30s are big fans of the ads). The area where they really have caught on, though, is with people who make parodies.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
