Qualcuno sa cosa significa questa pubblicità Tesco?

I’d imagine it’s trying to insinuate that because you forgot your headphones you’ve resorted to actually reading the advertising around you out of boredom

I assume it’s one of a series of ads that highlight that the experience of owning a phone is the same with Tesco Mobile as any other carrier, but they haven’t been doing mid-contract price increases – which other providers have – and therefore that’s an advantage. But in a twist, they concentrate on some of the negative experiences of owning and using a phone, like forgetting your headphones, rather than the positives that you would expect an ad to focus on. The experience of owing a mobile phone is so universal and uniform at this stage, that there’s very little to differentiate providers other than price and the approach to pricing, and they’re playing on that.

It’s similar to the approach in this campaign, where cats are depicted talking about their owner’s phone habits:

It would appear the monile phone service provider side of tesco, are catching phone users attention with a quip about also forgetting their headphones so they too have to scroll social media on mute while on some form of public transport.

One might even correlate the trope of the annoying public transport user that blares music from their phone on the bus, this could be seen a reminder to mute the phone.

Now that phone users’ attention has been caught they are advertising the fact that they have not added a mid contract increase in pricing like many other phone service providers have done in recent years.

On a deeper level, I suppose marketing within a capilist driver world is what’s happening.

Same forgot his headphones apparently.

I hope that ad is the only trace alien archeologists find of human society 20k years from now, petrified and still readable through some freak occurrence. And I hope they scratch their heads and wonder, who is this Tesco, and why did he command such forgetfulness in his contracted subjects? They’d be closer to understanding the real meaning of this than I am.
