The captains' thoughts on all things branding, design, viral, video, and web. Join the conversation!

By Lindsey Campbell, Captains of Industry

Hey Captains’ readers,

Here’s your Wednesday Deal:

1. That girl doesn’t eat Burger King

You know what really irks me? When brands for things like cigarettes use beautiful models in their advertising. You know who I see ACTUALLY sucking on cancer sticks? Sad looking people sitting outside by themselves with yellow teeth, a nasty cough and a future that consists of blocked blood vessels and Emphysema. And that ain’t pretty. Which is why Burger King’s new website featuring model Xenia Tchoumitcheva isn’t just a blatant “Let’s throw a hot model to sell our product!” maneuver, but it’s highly unlikely that Xenia keeps her bod in model shape by chowing down on Whoppers. I’m just saying. Let’s keep it real, BK.

2. If you tweet it, they will come

When Tabitha tweeted, “AAAHHHH I’m out of Wheat Thins… My life is officially over!” Wheat Thins decided to save this poor girl’s life and dumped a pallet of the crackers onto her driveway. Way to go Wheat Thins for monitoring your social media. Not only did you save poor Tabitha, but also you showed the brand world you’re on you’re A-game.

Let’s try it. AAAHHHH I’m out of Corona… My life is officially over!

A girl can try.

Until tomorrow,

Captain Lindsey
