Let us all discuss the news and great doings issuing from Montecito

WTF Ghana? Just why?

I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here… fantastic! Can you just imagine Meghan shrieking that whilst stuck in a barrel of mealworms?!

Oh yes 🤣!!

To be fair to him @Ohpleeeease , it's a very little town that is definitely not on the tourist map , I doubt many would have heard of it !
But the Spanish are a proud people ( as they have every right to be ) and not likely to put up with meghans shenanigans!

Would be great - maybe she could be camp mates with Lizzie Cundy and Ashley Cole 😂

In the US, if you sell food, it must be labeled with the country of origin. This is why we see olive oil packaged in Italy but sourced from Tunisia, and honey from Mexico and Argentina packaged in the US. I really want to see the country of origin of her food products.

Naughty 😉!! 😂

I was having a look at the Netflix shop and it seems an odd fit to sit along with the other merchandise.

Over here it would be like going into Forbidden Planet and seeing a shelf of Jam and fancy biscuits - all sorts of wrong!😂

Now that's something I would watch 😆

Oh my goodness!

You couldn’t make this up!!

Love Spain and its people. There is nothing like a Spanish mayor. Except perhaps an Italian one.

Or a Sicilian one @Ohpleeeease ?
Lucky that she picked that one for her logo!

As if ....

Don’t the Royal Family buy each other tat and joke presents for Christmas? I wonder if anyone will gift a jar of As Ever jam this year?!

Seriously though, I think it’s a major flaw in the plan that they don’t know who their demographic and target market is. The strategy is all over the place.

Strategy all over the place = no strategy

I read that. My only thought was that if you look hard enough you can always find someone who will spin in a positive light. I didn't find him convincing, there is no evidence that they are doing the kind of long term planning he is suggesting.

It does look like she got bumped into announcing early, if there isn't a trademark yet, or any products 🤦‍♀️

Another narrative we may have missed is that Mark Borowski was actually drawing attention to himself first, Meghan second. My take on brand mark II is that we may yet have to grin and bear brand mark III. There are so many similarities between ARO and As Ever: haven't been trademarked; no products; holding page website; no specific launch date; target market not clear; no use (unless you count Meghan); sign-up for updates doesn't generate a reply giving date and teasers for products.

Why does she keep announcing things before she has any products to sell? It's baffling.

It is isn’t it? Unless there is a Ta-Dah! moment coming but they’re going to need a very big tablecloth.

Shock horror a person does something because they can.

Shock horror @MrsLeonFarrell posts something because she can!

Well that is true I suppose, but it's an odd thing to do .

She can do what she wants of course. I would have thought it would be more sensible to have something to sell before you launch something to capitalise on the momentum of the launch.

But I'm not in marketing so what do I know!

Especially as she did the same thing with ARO and made herself look like a complete numpty. You'd have thought she'd have learned a lesson. Oh no wait......

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
