Deliciously Diabolical Marketing

The ‘Enough of Sweetness’ Posters Promote Bakeries

— June 15, 2012 — Marketing
The new advertisement posters for the ‘Angles in My Kitchen’ bakery revolve around the notion of “enough of sweetness.” The bakery’s new sour lemon tarts were a huge success amongst customers both regular and new, so in the efforts of spreading the word, the bakery had a series of illustrations made depicting culturally recognized do-gooders turning over a new leaf.

Santa Claus rigging his gifts with mouse traps, elves trashing a shoe maker’s shop and Harry Potter turning on his own mentor are the illustrations used to endorse the “enough of sweetness” attitude. Sour is in and these characters are ushering the new age of lemon tart fueled energy by turning on all those who have exhausted their sweet nature.
