HTC hasn’t exactly been the best in the marketing game and despite inking another big name celebrity, things don’t seem to be getting much better. Their latest ad features Seattle Mariner’s slugger Robinson Cano literally blasting away the competition. Flagship devices from Samsung, Apple, and LG all feel the full force of Cano’s mult- million dollar swing and the results are pretty epic.
Now don’t get me wrong, the slow motion video is pretty spectacular but this really doesn’t move me in any way to want to buy the M9. If anything, I’m just curious what would happen if Cano took a swing at HTC’s latest flagship. In my opinion, HTC really needs to start showcasing the M9’s highlights and features in their ads rather than relying on a celebrity cameo to sell their phones.
What do you guys think of HTC’s latest ad? Does it move you to buy the M9?
