That’s absolutely horrible. I would kick their asses, for this Terror. And I don’t believe that they have done this in Germany. It’s forbidden. Once Springer & Jacoby was a good agency. But this "idea" sucks.

yeah, and it seems wrong to me that of all agencies it's S&J who bankrupt companies...

noone would actually read all the faxes. maybe one fax with the whole text sent 10 times would have worked way better.

i´ve been wondering how many creatives they gave notice after mercedes benz ran away from s&j...

I agree, I would be pissed off, first for wasting my time (if i was waiting for an important fax) and for wasting my paper.

justpassingby's picture 1372 pencils

fake bullshit, doesnt work. That was shot in the S&J office probably

i would drive over to the client and kick there ass.
by the way. FAX what is this?

I feel sorry for the trees that died for this.

ellehcimeo's picture 3534 pencils

spam for faxes are never taken kindly. this would make me want to redirect. what a shameless waste of paper, no regard for the environment at all.

I really hope this was recycle-paper. Otherwise is pure shit.

Haha, this was indeen shot at the S&J office! Horrible idea, by the way.

It can work if you send this in the name of your competitor (and the market is duopol):-)

Naddeo's picture 71 pencils

Even as a scam ad, it's a bad idea...

el_pistolero's picture 4 pencils

Don`t forget ... it`s direct marketing. Every "throw-away-brochure" wastes more paper. It`s fun

philippertl's picture 569 pencils

And what about my toner???

Have Heart's picture 922 pencils

Nope, it's bullshit. It's like punching someone on the head and saying "Hey, we have the cheapest Alka-Seltzer". Makes a negative point for the client.

Dick Huges's picture 939 pencils

ahahahaha sure they did it. They wasted a lot of money from consumer's and then they thought the consumer would be happy. And if they sent it by fax how did they have a photographer there to shoot the consumer's reaction?

I have to say I love this. Not for the shitty idea, but for the wonderfully over-acted expression on the guy's face. The carefully placed papers on the floor get an honorable mention. Way to go, guys.

I've decided I hate signatures.

nuclearshower's picture 233 pencils

I'll be outrage if someone do that to me! Is a bad idea to spam on company fax machine!

"300% more offers."
how many offers did they have before, 0?

"laughing on corridors."
