The new ads by Smeds for their mozarella cheese are nothing but sexually inferring. Without them telling you what they’re advertizing, you’d think Antoinette Akiki has a new sex-ed show, à la Lezem Ta3ref, on YouTube.
I’m not a marketing expert. But if someone intends to sell some food item, is associating it with talk about breasts and a man bringing his wife to orgasm a decent strategy?
In other words: food and vulgar ads, do they go hand in hand (no pun intended) or is it a grave misstep here?
I’ll leave the answer to the pros.
To me, I think sex sells. But not cheese.
Here are the ads:

This is really sick and perverted. I mean sex does sell (ex. Herbal Essences ad was cute!) but associating it with food… a bit too much.

This is a character she has going apparently. Talk about recipes with such an attitude. They must have thought it was funny enough for an ad.
