  1. "Prospects: The target audience for this ad is generation Y, specifically the middle class working adults aged between 22 to 35 years old.

    Problem (added): The "caffeine for your feet" headline might not be understood by everyone. Even personally, I had to think twice to understand what it meant.

  2. I actually wrote to FitFlop some time ago, to point out that their current slogan - 'We don't care about (your feet) we are obsessed by them' actually gives the impression that they don't care because that's what they actually say. I pointed out that even simply adding the word 'just' - We don't just care about your feet ...
    would be an improvement and I wondered who on earth they were employing as copywriters. Now I know.
