I find it so weird that all these AI outreach spam mails start the same way - telling me about my own studio or my own games, as if it's news to me. Yes, I wrote my website straplines, I know what I do.

Genuinely think something is broken in adland that we're getting straplines like:
cosmetics company: "believe in possible"
hotel company: "you know what you're getting"

The irony here is that one of Irn-Bru’s marketing straplines on the side of their lorries is something like “the contents of this truck are not stored in it overnight”.
An Irn-Bru truck with more than 41,000 bottles inside has been stolen from a Scottish depot, with a police hunt underway 👀

You’re probably right there. The decline in advertising revenue wouldn’t have helped - I think it was Morse where those Sponsored by Guinness Stout style straplines began.

Here’s a game. Without Googling, can anyone identify these classic films from the straplines used in their posters?
1. It’s all about women… and their men!

3. “They got a murder on their hands. They don’t know what to do with it.”

As I said I don`t debate economics graduates, the straplines used to dismiss any opposition to unfettered free market capitalism are well worn.
This simplistic black/white Marxism v Capitalism orthodoxy is intellectually lazy, wrong and just dogmatic. You have your "box", good luck with it.
