Intel's New Slogan Clarified 279

Posted by Zonk from the could-have-been-worse dept.
OctoberSky writes "We already knew that Intel was changing its slogan. The new tagline will be 'Leap Ahead', replacing the 10 year old 'Intel Inside'. The move was initially reported here on Slashdot yesterday. The official announcement includes the slogan's replacement." From the article: "Intel shares, up 7.2 percent this year, fell 37 cents to $25.07 yesterday in Nasdaq Stock Market composite trading. The change in Intel's brand is the first step in a $2.5 billion marketing campaign, BusinessWeek reported earlier, without making clear where it got the information. Intel spokesman Bill Calder declined to comment on the number. "

      I mean, "Intel inside" so you can "leap ahead" of the rest (cue businessmen beating their competitors, gamers getting that extra kill etc etc)

      Now they are trowing away a widely known slogan in the hope of recreating the success of the old one. Does McDonalds replace the M even if it tries to change its image of greasy fastfood? Does Coca-Cola launch a new blue and white bottle?

      No, you don't destroy slogans/names unless you feel that to not get a new image is going to kill you or if your marketting department has been let loose out of the basement.

      Intel inside has a lot of spoofs but that is good. Only the well known can be spoofed. Neither does Intel have a bad name among the general public. AMD is nibbling away but is that the time to go for a new slogan? Right when you want people to think "Hmmm well that machine looks hot but why doesn't it have that Intel Inside logo? I don't trust it. What is AMD anyway a chinese clone?" you remove that.

      I think this is the case of the runaway marketting department, any person living in a country were a national industry has been privatised can tell you what that is like. Were a name like "PTT" is twisted around and recoloured and resloganed so many times and people still call it by the old name because people don't change.

    A better use for the money would be R&D. The reason AMD's gaining traction isn't because it's winning on the marketing front, it's because they've got a better processing power to cost ratio.


    AMD's Athlon 64 X2 4800+ is roughly equal in performance to Intel's latest Pentium Extreme Edition 955. The AMD 4800+ costs ~USD$495, and Intel's 955 costs ~USD$995! That extra money clearly isn't going into R&D, so where could it be going? Marketing of course..

    No-one who's aware of AMD's offerings are going to pay an extra USD$500 for a 'Leap ahead' sticker, and as the mass market becomes aware of AMD Intel's marketing campaigns will only get less and less effective..

      Sure, the AMD X2 3800+ is probably a little better, but it's not 35% better so the Intel has the better performance/price ratio. More importantly, you simply can't get a dual core AMD processor for what most people consider a reasonable price for a processor (I consider $250 the most I will spend or suggest someone spend).

      I don't understand your complaining that the marketing department is running things. Marketing departments are supposed to be the ones who pick a slogan.
