Show notes

In 2005, Snapple attempted something big... but things didn't work out. We will be talking about not only that epic fail but the success of Snaple simple yet brilliant ad campaigns. It actually took me two minutes of research to remember the 'Snapple Lady' and that will be the commercial we will be watching together, this should be a nice little trip down memory lane. So let's dicuss the rise and fall of Snaple, on todays episode of the Ranger Ryan Show.

Fame to Shame | The Ranger Ryan Show Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

The worst year in the companies history was in 2004, we will discuss all the poor decisions that led up to then and where they went wrong. The company that went all out for marketing, usually being sued or stopped by the government each time, finally closes its doors. Whether you played Turok, Virtua Tennis, or Shadow Man--you can't help but be shocked at all the marketing techniques attempted by one company. If you have not heard of Acclaim, perhaps you have heard of some of their ports ofr console from Midway; such as Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam. This was a company that was on a path to something great, but bad decisions can lead to the downfall of any company--let's go over some of those mistakes, on this episode of the Ranger Ryan Show.

Crab, Butter, & Biscuits | The Ranger Ryan Show Jun 18, 2023

Show notes

Okay, I am not going to lie... This episode is making me hungry. I used to be a big fan and supporter of Red Lobster. I couldn't tell you how many times I have been there--it was fancy without being too expensive. They changed their look over the years and it has become a lot more casual but the food is not as good as it used to be. This episode focuses on a very large mistake that had a big financial impact on the once great Red Lobster. So put on your plastic bibs and let's dive in to this discussion, on this episode of the Ranger Ryan Show.

Cause & Effect | The Ranger Ryan Show Jun 17, 2023

Show notes

Alright, I know that I was going to talk about marketing failures. But this is a completely personal topic, I've lost friends because of this brand. I'll explain in the show, also I will watch one of the first commercials for Axe Body Spray after it was launched in the United States in 2002. The company did well and the controversy was not a failure, however one could say it was innapropriate and would not survive in todays world. So let's look at Axe Body Spray and the gigantic company attached to it, on this episode of the Ranger Ryan Show.

A Failed Revolution | The Ranger Ryan Show Jun 15, 2023

Show notes

This was supposed to be the biggest contribution humans have made to society since the invention of the internet! Everyone was hyped for something they knew nothing about and I literally mean nothing about--no one knew what it was or even what it pertained to. Speculation included hydrogen cars or anti gravity magnetic vehicles, then all they got was a lazy bicycle that couldn't fit in places that a normal bicycle could fit. This was the future of urban travel, but cities already had problems with bikes, let alone a bike that barely fits through a doorway. So join us in a discussion of a product that failed to deliver but still remains in the culture as comic relief, on this episode of the Ranger Ryan Show.

Just Do Something Different | The Ranger Ryan Show Jun 13, 2023

Show notes

Nike may have been around for a long time, but that just gives them more time to make mistakes. With the company owning over 43% of market share in the global sportswear segment, this is a what you would consider a Goliath brand--but one mistake could bring the giant to its knees. We will be covering an ad campaign from 2020 that wasn't neccesarily controversial, more confusing, and some thought mildly innapropriate. Let's take a look at the time when the Swoosh went Slasher; on this episode of the Ranger Ryan Show.

Game of the Year Edition | Nerdbotomy Jun 04, 2023

Show notes

I don't want to give away too much information in the description because where is the fun in that? You will just have to listen to the episdoe to find out which game (released in the past 12 months) has been my favorite. Now I will give you some hints, it is a Playstation Exclusive and it is uses puzzle based mechanics for most of the story progression. Also... post-apocolyptic. Any guesses? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tradepaperbacks/message --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rangerryan/message
