Advertising budgets being what they are, it probably cost the German taxpayer more than us. I bet it will cost us. As more people come to ride the mountain road, expect more donations to the human organ department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/mountain-road-closes-for-ford-film-shoot/ I wonder if the IOMG is actually getting something, and again the long suffering motorists, who will be inconvenienced at some point. No doubt Skelly is giving Ford every assistance, including us taxpayers funding the police, who could be used to prevent crime in the island. It’s a bit ironic that the Starship Enterprise and the Department of Incompetence can get their act together, to close the road, for a motor manufacturer, ironically are a big name players in Rallying!, and give Rally Isle of Man such red tape they are forced to cancel. Just a thought for discussion. I’m sure Ford will sell cars, but those buyers are unlikely to come to the island for a holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Ah, let them crack on, the Audi advert looked nice, the bac mono one too. The mountain road is obviously a big selling point, so go out there and sell it, we've not for that much else to offer. Apart from the peace and quiet.

It's all about creating awareness, association with the brands does us no harm at all and for the island to become a familiar subliminal feature could pay dividends in future.

If it was an advert and it would feature on most tv channels, and advertised at prime time, that would maybe show the island scenery. This is for a YouTube video. I personally wish that we get something out of this. How can you measure whether these advert campaigns have paid dividends? Skelly Bullshit? HRH The Chief Ministers pronouncements? Chris Thomas’s Thesis? Sorry for the cynicism, but it’s going to take a lot to persuade me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't any way to quantify the benefits of exposure, it's just something that is done to raise awareness. If the DoE were to charge for the use of the iconic roads, say goodbye to the publicity, we wouldn't get any, they'd find somewhere else, which would be a shame.
