Just read about this in one of the London freebies:

No money in it, but if you win you get your stuff made into a TV ad. Cheap for them, I guess, but an opportunity to be seen nevertheless. I think the drink is vile and their ads are shite, but I'm sure there are enough talented people on here to improve the ads. There's no rescuing the drink.
Just about to post this! Good catch Badge 
Yep well done Badge m8!
just entered, i should of gone into advertising as i'm clearly going to win *walks away smugly*
not if you're saying "should of"
(thought I'd beat Aaron to it)
lol sorry, yes thats 'should have' everyone.
To be fair i did get expelled from school.
Doing an english refresher course now, it's the awesomest.
Psssst! Marketing guys aren't interested in spelling and grammar, they have 'oiks' in the office that deal with that kind of stuff! 
They pay them about 2p per week for sorting out the spelling!!! Sometimes they don't bother even employing these 'spelling oiks' and that's how you got 'Harpic', the bathroom product.
The Marketing guys wanted to call it Hardprick but got the spelling wrong. Think about the shape of the Harpic container! I'm giving you the inside story here! I'm not supposed to let this one out now it's the PC Noughties!! Next time you shake that Harpic container, just you remember what those Marketing guys had in mind.. Best selling product in it's class, year in year out! Hard selling to the lady of the house..
They do say 'tits' always sell.. and so do 'dicks'!!! It's an awful industry... as in the 'oo you are awful!' category of awful!!! Invented originally by the yanks of course, the modern Marketing industry... Marketing guys usually 'left school early' too Jac (expelled just like you) but of course they always have some fancy University on their CV's!
cheers frankie! In that case I went to Oxford and i've watched all the inspector morse videos.
There's more to images in marketing than is let on. There was a Mum deodorant chosen for its provocative shape. It's a fascinating subject. The commonest word hidden within advertising is sex. You can see it in lights, reflections, arrangement of images.
There was a well-known coke advert with a bubble in the foreground and inside it was the image of a girl drinking from a 'bottle', unfortunately the bottle was not bottle-shaped.
