back to article 'I live the mobile lifestyle dream...'

With thousands of vendors plugging away at the Mobile World Congress, it's clear how difficult it is to find catchy marketing slogans. The barrel has been well and truly scraped. So what to do?

    Smartly intelligent

    I have met a lot of people with PhD's who were clearly intelligent but not always very smart.

    Maybe the LG phone i so intelligent it's eye wateringly painful...

    It'd be too kind to think this was merely an example of engrish, the sadly bad slogan was probably invented by a yank or some malarial gin soaked ex-pat.

    And then there was the Viewty

    And the nice young lady handing out condoms for a british company whose name and product completely escape me so that was a really successful bit of tacky boothbabery.

    "Digitally Yours"...

    ... has always seemed inherently strange to me. (it's a Samsung slogan).

    Either it has a hidden meaning in Korean that completely escapes when translated into english - or I am too unimaginative to see the hidden great message in the slogan.

    ... Or they are betting that everybody automatically thinks : "Digital = Great".

    Betting on the misinformed masses (Corporate management and marketing) the last one is probably the correct one.
