As much as I hate the constant stream of lazy, lying bullshit I do love a really clever campaign.
Think of the sheer balls an advertising company had to have to walk into the initial "Compare the Market" add campaign pitch and say the word "Meerkats" and then go on to explain they would say next to fuckall about what the company actually did.
I still want to know how this came about. It was the first letter of the first word! And I don't see it as being "Architecture and Planning" or any such variation haha
I think they started on the left for whatever reason and moved right meaning they severely miscalculated. There was a place near me where they screwed up similarly due to a planter.
But architects like badly designed buildings, as long as they are artsy.
My unis signature program is architecture and the library is shedding glass panels as a result. Meanwhile the computer science building is an oxidizing faraday cage that needed to be retrofitted with repeaters for firefighter radio.
It is a well executed joke indeed. Yeah, I was guessing it was a project manager because it’s definitely the kind of thing I would have done for my team.

I'm more willing to read ads if they were wacky as this, but you can't all have them be this as I will just start ignoring them again.

For sure. Reminds me of what Wendy’s Twitter account used to be like before all the corpos started to copy their style

All it's missing is a typo.

You'll find that in the copywriting department.

Sing it with me now… “Oh if it’s possessive it’s just i-t-s but if it’s a contraction it’s I-t apostrophe s! Scallywag!”

So of course, the nerdy scientist-type has it all figured out...

Reminds me of my college. The architecture building had an awkward floor plan and the civil engineering building was poorly constructed.

That sign is intentionally bad. The electrical tape was a nice touch.
So I’m guessing the sign was actually made by an office coordinator or project manager as a practical joke.

We dont know how far along they are in their comedic education, so it could have been a theoretical joke.

Hey now. They never said they were good at it, just that it is their department.
