i’m sick to death of these goddamn meerkats. time for a refresh, people.
Agree’d. Call the bloody pest controller.
Same old same old. Time to move on, it’s really boring.
The meerkats have jumped the shark. But it would be a real shame to ditch the brand property because the writing’s no good.
If I was another agency I’d pitch for the business on the promise of keeping the meerkats but making the advertising brilliant (again).
These Meerkats aren’t going anywhere, people.
You must be mad! Ever heard of distinctive brand assets. There aren’t going anywhere.
