“Yes Good” | Vol. 4 / No. 22.4

Sometimes you see a bit of advertising so stupid it’s positively brilliant. This is one of those.

Ever heard of Emerald Nuts? No, me neither. Well, not until today. But Adweek’s blog Adfreak did a piece this week on the nut company’s latest ad campaign, and it’s too… something… not to share.

Basically, in June of last year, someone (quite possibly a bot) left a five-star review of their nuts on Amazon. The entire body of text read as follows: “Yes good”. Not even a period, I had to add that.

So kudos to Barton F. Graf, and congratulations to Emerald Nuts—you just got me to share your advertising. For free.
