I understand the strategy here, but the execution is too flat. Not appealing at all.

Agreed. They seem to be trying to draw kids away from computers and into the world of real-life interaction. This severely outdated view of computers as the enemy of growth is embarassingly conservative. Quite cringe-making for an agency to go along with this, or propose it. And they missed an opportunity by saying 'friends' instead of 'fellow scouts' or whatever the terminology is. Shame.

This is the awkward 4th in the campaign.

The girl is photoshopped in. Poorly. Think the campaign will impact parents though. It's not brilliant but it addresses a felt need.

Excellent observation on imposing the girl. Wonder whether they used stock photo (!!!) for such a campaign.
