This was part of a pitch for Date seed Coffee done sometime in June.
We are still waiting for the results.

sorry don't like it. first of all you are showing someone running on my coffee, u don't do that with food, second of all the art sucks....the foam on the side looks like the wart on a toad.

Yope, but nope I don't like it either. The thought is hackeneyed and the execution (which could have saved it) makes it worse.

Bhavs, I've supped and quaffed a lot of coffees in the interim. Still can't figure out what the idea was. No issues, more coffee's on the way.

BUS, I would have never known if you hadn't revealed that coffee is supposed to be a stimulant that awakens one's senses.
On a less sarcastic note, the proposition is very generic and very cliched. You need to devise a new spin on coffee.
Coffee and sex - Done, Coffee and a brighter start to the day/better end to the night - Done, Coffee as a metaphor for fresher thinking or better ideas - Done, Coffee and Charging in any form - Done. Etc, etc.
These are the days of Red Bull my friend. And anabolic steroids. Coffee needs to be given a new pair of wings (sorry Red Bull).
Don't have any solutions at the moment, but give me some more caffeine in my blood stream and maybe Eureka will follow.

Cutty sark. That's biting.
Is sarcasm called for?
Yes

If sarcasm can be a route to constructive criticism, so be it.
Just as a thought, is there anything special about 'date seed coffee'? I mean does that ingredient have something which other coffee seeds don't?
Could be the seed to a new spin?

Payal, sometimes criticism is the best form of respect, just as imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I have no disrepect towards this ad or betterunsaid, I am just trying to see if a better direction can be arrived at.
Having said that, yes, thanks for liking my style of writing. Quite honestly, I have not had the time to think of a new angle and somehow don't even feel the inclination. But if something pops out, shall definitely give a shout.
Btw, I love your avatar.
Cheers, Shanty
