Fastcompany was looking for a way on how to improve the auto industry, so they picked up the best scam artist they could find and interviewed Mike Hughes, president and creative director of The Martin Agency. The very same advertising agency that is running the scam site freecreditreport.com
“Don’t keep telling us your cars are every bit as good now as Toyotas or Hondas. That’s probably true today, but you’ve been trying to sell us that line for far too long. Tell us why we should want your cars. If you can’t figure out what makes your product special, then it’s probably not special. When you do have something to say, market the hell out of it. Boy, would I love to do that campaign.”"
We’re sure you would Mike … just do the freecreditreport.com model. It works like a charm. Tell everyone your product is good… lie about the costs… and have some no-talent-ass-clown sing a tune…
Good thing you guys are horrible at SEO, because FreeCreditReport.com doesn’t even rank #1 for it’s own name…
We have a solution for the Big 3 … and it’s a simple solution. Make a car that doesn’t break down, extremely fuel efficient and low cost.
What your average Detroit car looks like 3 years after purchase.
Dude, you are really starting to piss me off. Mike is not a scam artist. He is one of the best human beings I’ve ever had the fortune to meet. For you to say Mike is a scam artist is truly laughable. Anyone that knows him knows that he is one of the most honest, gentle and good intentioned persons that you would ever want to meet. Did you get fired from The Martin Agency or something? Is that why you’re so bitter? Or maybe you couldn’t even get a job here? Whatever. By the way…you are wrong again – “The very same advertising agency that is running the scam site freecreditreport.com”. We do NOT run the freecreditreport.com site. FCR runs that themselves. We have nothing to do with it. We just made the spots.
And, what he said about American cars is spot on. They are just as good, or in some cases better than foreign cars. The problem is that just as good as the other guy just doesn’t cut it when you’re trying to sell to consumers. It has to be better or different in some way. He was dead right on this. Again, you suck.
