JBL's Marketing Blunder..


This is such a bizarre JBL promo video portraying young women as ditzy airheads...certainly not the way to reach younger blood and expand the customer base.

JBL GOES MODERN!

Here's a retort from the Audioholics channel

JBL Ad portrays Gen Z women as Idiots?!

I suppose JBL will try and do just fine by selling the same things over and over to a shrinking aged male customer base. Good luck JBL!

yea, interesting and relevant. I don't see the problem.  Old white guys inventing anger if you ask me.  Lots of young men would learn a lot from this, too!

Dudes. This is a male dominated hobby so of course you'll get more than a smidgen of typical, lost in the past impressions from clueless men. That ad was pretty good satire and very clever at that. It breaks down tons of barriers to Gen Zers out there, making stereo palatable again. 

I can see the younger generation that so many here lament about seeing the value of this hobby watching that ad and going for it. Isn't that what we old timers want?

All the best,

Totally. Except for the grumbling grandpas preferring their sour grapes. 

 

@bojack ;)....try 'conniption fits over cables'....that might strike 'stones' 'round heya....*LOL*  😏

Tough crowd...🤨

It's been poked 'n kicked about occasionally as to 'omg, the Real 'Philes are going to fade into the dirt, misunderstood and considered *SHOCK*

...loners....'

Well....we have all the earmarks...and not meant as a pun.

Audio, and the means to make 'all of it' sound better, regardless of source.

The tech has risen to where we used to strive for, and overall is doing fairly well at it.  Just because the product isn't meant for you, or us for that matter...

So F'n what....the way of all things cultural and evolutions of societies.

At the end of any day....there's bigger fryers to be concerned over of late.

Let the nice young women make a buck in an ad designed by JBL and all involved to push their products into the next decade and stay in the game.

Besides....'the really Serious buy esotery for sums they can afford'...

Let them eat cake....😒
