Sloganeering

PrintI'm not a marketing person, so I'm not going to get too snarky with the Giants' new slogan for the year. I'll appeal to authority on this one and assume that it's been tested and run by a focus group, and that it's supposed to appeal to people who wouldn't rummage through their significant other's abdomen and pull out a kidney if that's what it took to watch baseball. But here it is:
Let's Get Back Together
I get it. Let's all get back to the postseason, that dizzying ride from over a year ago, and let's do it together. Fans, players, you, me. The only quibble I'd have is that it sounds like a lost Al Green album, or a phrase that's probably uttered every day by a guy with desperate eyes who hasn't showered in six days. Whatever. We'll get used to it.
But the slogan revelation reminds me of the two most amazing slogans in Giants history. Nay, baseball history. Heck, the history of capitalism and profits.
All out, all season
That was the slogan for the 2008 Giants, one of the worst offensive teams in team history. They put the word "out" right there in the slogan.
Say, a Giants commercial! Haven't been to a game in a while. Maybe I should grab the kids and … huh. They mentioned something about making outs all season. That's right. I think there was a picture of Jose Castillo. Huh. Maybe there's a new Fast and the Furious movie or something.
Okay, that one's not especially amazing, but it's certainly amusing. It was ironic and whatnot. The word "out" shouldn't have been anywhere near the slogan. It was like if Tylenol came back from their PR disaster in the '80s with an ad campaign of "Tylenol: Now With Nine New Stringent Manufacturing Guidelines. Come read more about what we call 'The Strict Nine!'' The heart would have been in the right place! The execution … not so much.
But I promised amazing, and it's time for your yearly reminder that a professional sports team once had this as their marketing slogan:
Hang in there!
Baseball is about hope. That slogan didn't have any. It was a slogan explicitly telling you that the baseball was going to be awful. You needed to endure, not enjoy. Just hang in there. We're trying a few things, and … dammit, HANG IN THERE. YOU SIT DOWN, YOU HORRIBLE, UNGRATEFUL PERSON.
Imagine the scene. A bunch of marketing folks sitting around a table, looking at pictures of Al Oliver, Manny Trillo, and Johnny LeMaster. It's Friday afternoon. Chet's Oyster Shack has $1 shooters for the next hour. Someone mutters "Hang in there?" under their breath, and everyone else pretends it's a good idea so they can get the hell out of there.
The worst part: the Giants were just under .500 in 1983, the previous season. They weren't the 100-loss team they'd turn into. They could have been okay. I mean, they really couldn't have, but in theory there might have been reason for hope. And the All-Star Game was in San Francisco that year. They couldn't riff on that? There wasn't anything they could have figured out other than "Hang in there!" Amazing. It's like that urban legend about The Little Mermaid poster. "You're fired. But please finish that slogan before you clean out your desk."
So let's get back together? I'm sure after the first 600 commercials, it'll just melt into our consciousness. But never forget that the Giants once had a slogan that translated into "So, we're terrible, but we want you to watch regardless." Yet here we are, complaining about Melky Cabrera. Someone from 1984 is going to leap forward into time just to punch us in the neck. We have it pretty danged good, relatively speaking.
Comment starter: Your favorite slogan? "There's Magic Inside" proved to be prescient, but I'm always going to be partial to "You Gotta Like These Kids." Turns out we really did.

I vaguely remember Giants Vision had something to do with the TV package that you had to have to watch home games. This was in the late eighties so it’s possible that it’s been used as a slogan since or that I’m totally wrong. All I know is that six-year-old me only got to see the occasional Giants away game because we didn’t have Giants vision.
Is Giants Vision the jumbo tron at the games? Or is that something else?

I remember making fun of this one
The Giants were coming off 3 straight losing seasons, including the absolute stinker of a 1996 campaign, so the slogan seemed like a laughable admittance that we were going nowhere again.
And then the team miraculously won the NL West, in a pennant race that included 2 of the best games I’ve ever seen (the 2-game sweep against the Dodgers in mid-September), and I wasn’t making fun of it anymore.
What is this year's slogan again?

It’s dumb, but it works. Marketing pays salaries.
I certainly won’t dispute any of that. But once it’s decided that there has to be a slogan you come up with things like “Let’s get back together.”
Couldn’t they do just as much marketing without a forced slogan?

A ton of marketing money and effort go into online reputation building and the development of brand advocates. The chance that the person who gave you the recommendation or wrote that review wasn’t influenced by paid marketing of one type or another is pretty slim.

Possibly. I know very little about Beer Advocate. But I know they have a website and a magazine. Unless those are funded entirely by something other than ad sales and corporate sponsors then marketing plays a major part in their content.

I manage to not hear of most products, so nearly every time I make a purchase.
Mark DeRosa , he had his moments.
Slogans are idiotic, regardless of marketing. It’s like mascots. “Oh, the kids LOVE Lou Seal!” I don’t fucking care, he looks like a giant sewer rat who’s into humping imaginary things in front of children. If I ran the Giants, the first two things I’d do would be eliminate stupid slogans (Your SF Giants would be the slogan forever) and put a bullet in Lou Seal.
Um… A bullet in the costume, not the person in the costume. Though I’d fire the guy in the costume. As for slogans, just because dumb people like them, it doesn’t mean you NEED them for a successful marketing campaign.
I'm thinking but nothing's happening.
Having a slogan isn’t dumb. But, generally, having a new one every year is. Building a brand depends upon repetition and familiarity. Not to mention, I would think with the transient nature of players, you would want other aspects of the organization to stay the same to build loyalty.
I suppose there could be an argument made that loyalty is virtually guaranteed in sports. Thus, they don’t care about long term loyalty building as much as engaging new and casual fans each year. That model would be based on the idea that once they’re in the fold, the game itself will naturally build loyalty. In other words, who give a shit about the type of people on MCC. Our loyalty, interest and money are a given.
That said, aside from a single campaign for a WNBA team, I’ve never created advertising for a sports team. So I haven’t really seen their research or had the benefit of sitting in their marketing strategy sessions.
by BestHyperboleEver on Jan 31, 2012 1:05 PM PST up reply actions
If you look at it, though, the Giants don’t need a “brand” because they have one— their stadium. As long as they play there, they’ll always be the team that plays in a stadium you can see boats go by and the Bay Bridge. Since 2010, that’s what they’re mainly known for, more so than Bonds or the pitching. And once you have that brand identification, the rest of it is just icing on the marketing cake.

OT: Baseball stuff
So, it sounds like Edwin Jackson is still around and steadily lowering expectations. How much money will the Giants refuse to spend on him? For 5-8 million he’d be a nice upgrade over Zito, and at this point may accept a 1 year contract.
I’d still rather the Giants refuse to pay for Oswalt, but not paying Jackson could be interesting.
I'm as tall as Mel. Why can't I hit 500 home runs?
Haha!
Not paying for upgrades is the new moneyball!

You know when the sun goes down
and the fog rolls in
that Candlestick’s no fun
So we’ll have real old fashioned baseball

I’m not imagining that, am I? It really was something that negative about Candlestick. Way to promote the product.

That is correct. The entire schedule was day games, except for Friday nights, I think.
Of course, one of the most beloved promotions, the Croix de Candlestick was also all about how terrible the ballpark was. Ironic embracing of the suck was kind of the norm back then.
I totally loved the Croix . . .
And still have about a half dozen stuck to an old cap somewhere. But there was something noble about the Croix, triumphing over the elements. Whereas the radio jingle was just whiny and weak and negative somehow.

CWS: What's the opposite of "Don't hate the players, hate the game?"
CHICAGO — The White Sox have gone from “All in” as a marketing campaign in 2011 to “Appreciate the Game” entering into the 2012 season.
White Sox manager Robin Ventura laughed when asked about his marketing and advertising background on Thursday, saying he has nothing to do with picking the slogan.
He did give his take on what this appreciation theme means, though.
“Having heard it for the first time, in my mind, the way I look at it is, appreciate nuances of baseball and how it’s played,” Ventura said. "We are more of a team.
“By not signing any free agents and the hoopla that goes with that, I appreciate a group that works together as a team and all that goes into that. I’m just telling you what I think and looking at our team, I like that. I’m not for the most part an ‘In your face, look at me’ sort of person.”

But Harbaugh will have one chore when he comes to Glendale, Ariz., where the White Sox hold spring training.
"He has no idea, but he’s going to stand up in front of the White Sox and talk about team leadership and togetherness," Williams said. "We need to tap into that a little bit."

No.
He actually rated below average on defense last year.
He played about league average for his position, so the added value from baserunning and replacement value projected him to be about a 2 WAR player over the course of a full season. Which, again, is roughly league average.

My boss spoke with Lew Wolff yesterday, he’s going to send over their internal scouting reports for the minor leaguers they got in those trades to help justify why they did it. He also said it was because they felt they needed to replenish their farm system, and said that their farm is ranked in the bottom 10. I told my boss he should’ve pointed out that that’s largely because they’ve called up most of their young talent in recent years… the same ones they just traded away.

For whatever reason, I have fond memories of the few seasons in the mid-eighties where the Giants organization dropped all pretense and just embraced the suck. C’mon Giants, Hang In There! The Croix de Candlestick. The Crazy Crab. It seemed like a great fit at the time. And that era helped make Will Clark’s homer off of Nolan Ryan so startling… with one swing of the bat, the franchise didn’t feel like a joke anymore.

I’m getting annoyed just thinking about it. I really want her to learn geography, but instead she’s doing a project on health care reform.
She is learning on current events, but that’s not what this class is about, and it doesn’t say so on the syllabus.
I am probably the wrong person to address this. My kids go to an uber-progressive school where teachers teach what they want. It is great. I may change my mind when my kids can’t read at 12, but right now, they love school and are really engaged.

Well, not snow, since it doesn't snow in Bengal
But his family had to flee the capital in 1971 when war broke out because my grandfather’s political allegiances were inconvenient, and so for a while he had to live out in the countryside, and then later he was expected to help provide for his seven sisters as the only son. If anything, it’s even more annoying because he did have to walk uphill both ways to school (or, for him, walk several miles and then try to catch a crowded ferry).

Thanks, Merope. I’ll talk it over with my hubby. It’s an easy A for her and she’s going to try and stick it out for the rest of the year. From what she tells me, he debates with the kids on various issues and can get verbally abusive.
Oh man, I had two english teachers like that. It really sucks to be in that situation. If she’s getting an A in it, though, she could probably stick it out for the rest of the semester. If it starts affecting her grades (which happened at several points with those teachers), that’s when you should step in. With the first teacher, my parents went over all my essays with me to pander to her politics, and with the second one my mom had meetings with both her and the school administration.
That second teacher’s class was the first and only time I got lower than a B+ in high school, getting a C-. Thank goodness it was second semester senior year.

We had no history class at all in ninth grade, and then tenth grade world history picked up at the French Revolution, where eighth grade history had ended. It was ridiculous. That stuff ought to be in ninth grade (so that you don’t miss a year in between), and then tenth grade can be for California history, which is mentioned in fifth grade and then never again.

Oregon was “away from everything” didn’t work out. Alameda was his mother’s home…didn’t work out. Pennsylvania is where my mom’s folks were …eventually that didn’t work out either.

I grew up in the Bay Area, but there are faculty here who specialize in California (within the broader framework of the U.S. West).
Right now, I focus most of my research projects on the Black Panthers in the Bay Area

I did a research project on them in 8th grade! Specifically, Bobby Seale.
Not sure if I believe everything in his autobiography.

I think a lot of the Panthers’ autobiographies have stories that are contradicted by others’ autobiographies. It’s kind of lame, but autobiographies aren’t always the most accurate accounts.

…exhorts the team to play as a team. Asks the fans to support the team. And leaves the possibility out there that the support of the fans actually makes a difference on the scoreboard.

One clarification on the slogan
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isnt it “Let’s get back — together”? Still terrible, but somewhat differently.
The first six innings are overrated.
I think - THINK
the “Let’s Get Back…Together” is some sorta pre-season mini-campaign. If you go up on the Giants’ site, “Together We’re Giant” is still big and bold and right at the top of the page.

Mercury News articles cite Stanford “is on the cusp of a top 10 class” while Cal’s recruiting is “catastrophic to the program.” #whoknew
Schools that arent traditional powerhouses basically get about a 2-4 year window to succeed after a major event or turnaround. If they don’t continue to have big accomplishments or consistent success that window closes quick and people stop viewing them as an up and coming program. For Cal, it was their time with Rodgers as QB and the win over USC. We choked away all our opportunities to capitalize on that success in the years that followed, so it’s back to the cellar again. It’ll be interesting to see how Stanford does without Luck and Harbaugh.
Also, this is why I don’t like college football most of the time: the rich get richer.
The first six innings are overrated.
Can NOT
for the life of me, understand why Cal fans put up with Tedford. Every year, they send three Pro Bowlers to the NFL, yet they can barely put a winning record together in the Pac-whatever. Thought maybe he was at least a great recruiter. If that’s not true? Yeesh.
11/1/2010
He’s a good developer for the pro game, an average x’s and o’s guy, and a below average recruiter.
The bottom line is, in college football, you WILL NOT win if you can’t recruit the talent, which shifts between about 10 schools, with 5 being the “leaders” in any given year.
Given that Cal does not have the allure of LSU, Bama, USC, Texas, Oklahoma, etc., Tedford has done a great job of turning guys into NFL talent.
I’m just glad Cal isn’t Notre Dame, FSU, Fla, Ohio State, Michigan, or Miami lately. To have the draw of those schools and be as bad as they are is a travesty.

I’d try to dig through the NBC News archives for some material, but they’ve locked it down. I presume because unnamed persons kept posting links to streaming Today episodes.

Soooooo...
On the Giants homepage right now, the video corner has an ad for Fan Fest, and it strongly features the exclamation point. It is used as a bat and ball, but there are also a lot of plus signs being thrown around, so I have decided I will henceforth pretend they mean for it to be a factorial.
Mystery solved!

I’ve been seeing those plus signs, but the ones I’ve seen have been red, like for the Red Cross, or medical supplies or something. Which come to think of it would have been quite fitting for last season’s team.

"I will be prepared to play all three positions, but it’s better if I stay in one spot

Normally I would have, but didn’t this time. It was mostly a waste of time on the interview because I knew the two guys interviewing me. They really didn’t have much in the way of questions for me, and the interview lasted about a third of the time it took me just to drive there.
Though they asked me a hypothetical question on what would I come up with if a producer asked me for a graphic for “Boar Hunting with Bill Romanowski”, so after the interview, I mocked it up and e-mailed it to them. I mentioned it to the job recruiter at my school and she said, “I’ve never heard of anyone doing that.” In that case, I hope it set me apart.
