GoDaddy built their name recognition by running sophomoric ads that left
audiences guessing about what they actually did. And it seemed pretty obvious that only men
would bother to go to their website to find out. (None of the women in my class had a clue.)
Perhaps
they finally looked at the data showing that for the past 20 years women have
been starting businesses at a higher rate than men, and it occurred to them
that they might actually want to reach out to women. (MacNeil, 2012)
Last
February, after running their usual
stuff on the Super Bowl they came out with an ad featuring a woman quitting her
job. Interesting. Here it is in case you missed it.
I don't like it quite as much as the first one. But I think that both are likely to generate more business than the suggestive/uninformative commercials they have been running. Do you agree?
