Missing The Mark

Logo_6

(US) Sometimes you come across a brand who are trying to do good but miss the mark in their execution. One such example is Brusters Ice-Cream. The launch of their new 'advertainment website' is aimed specifically at their younger consumers and have the usual cartoon characters and interactive elements.

However, within the site there is a charity initiative whereby each time a user refers a friend (to the site), Bruster's donates 10 cents to Operation Warm (an charitable organisation which provides winter coats to kids-in-need). Just seems a like an after-thought and not exactly a holistic approach to demonstrating their community investment.

Maybe they can take inspiration from one of our Phatgnat Fortnightly Challenges?
