Oooooh, Bank of America, you silly so-and-sos. The gigantic financial institution, which recently purchased LaSalle Bank and thus increased its presence in our fine city, just ran this ad in Crain's:
Whoops. That's an old photo--note the Sun-Times building, which was demolished in 2004. Somebody call the irony police.
Beyond the fact that this is an out-of-date image, the picture doesn't even seem that Chicago-y to us, and the ad is super boring. Back to the drawing board, BoA!

It looks very China-esque. But maybe that's just because I watched ANTM last night, so China is on the brain.
When Boeing brought that wonderful boon to Chicago, its national headquarters and a few hundred employees, they ran a full page ad in the Trib or Sun-Times or both. It was an old black-and-white shot of North Michigan Ave. from, say 10 stories up. But they flipped the photo.
nice try
Local commitment. Global capabilities. Stuff that sounds like stuff regular people think rich people talk about. Stocks and bonds. Bull market. Grey Poupon.
Pantagrapher - do regular people really think rich people talk about Grey Poupon?
Local Committment. Global Capabilities... Synergy. Customized Solutions to meet Customer Expectations. Lifetime, team-based simulation. Holistic, groupwide opportunity. Virtual, logic-based global solutions. Radical, focused culture.
I think that a bank should cram every business buzz word that they can into their advertising, just for fun. It doesn't even have to mean anything.
