This has been the leading news story today in Melbourne across a number of platforms and something a lot of people are talking about. It’s not as if Seven have pulled it out of thin air. ---

What an odd promo It feels like he’s rambling on and it’s going nowhere at all. Then the music changes to something out of place and he finishes with a line that feels at odds with the test of the sell, then another disconnected line pops up with the tagline. Disjointed mess. And feels cold, stark, lacks warmth, polish, energy. Very strange marketing ---

> [@OnAir](#): > > have no problem with cold promotions. Don’t believe news should elicit warm fuzzies It’s essential that Marketing needs to elicit some feelings though. Be it surprise, shock, anger, relief , happiness, warmth, understanding, compassion, relatability, enthusiasm… This promo elicits nothing. I don’t feel anything. I don’t get excited. I don’t get intrigued. I don’t feel compelled. I don’t feel warm towards talent. Nothing. It elicits zero emotional response. That’s the most important think advertising should do. Nor does it tell me anything. It’s a reporter describing to me how he did his job ( I know how journalists work, we all do - so it didn’t provide me with any information I didn’t know) It didn’t even give me a reason to watch. Actually it didn’t even give me a time slot and reinforce that “every night at 6” ---

That what I’ve come to expect from Seven News recently. Presumably a deliberate targeting with soft consumer stories that also happen to be easily packaged around the network for cost savings. A lot more segments are now nationally packaged on Seven now, many with little current content so that actual reporters going out each day into the field have reduced noticeably. ---

There’s also an Amelia Brace promo airing with a focus on cost of living. Similar to the Mark Riley promo and just as bizarre. It came across as quite awkward and seemed to end prematurely without saying much. > [@MichaelPower](#): > > reminds me of those mock promos from CNNNN… Lol that is actually spot on. ---
