This Time it’s Personal: It’s You (is it really?)
TweetDoes anyone understand the meaning Yahoo!’s latest advertising campaign ‘This Time it’s Personal: It’s You!’?
After a little Googling (ooo the irony!), I found out that this campaign is in fact supporting Yahoo!’s new search format which now features a new left column that allows users to filter results, but also to include notes in their Search Pad (does anyone know what a search pad is? I didn’t…)
Will people understand the meaning of this campaign? Unlikely.

aaahhh. I am so glad someone else is irritated by these ads. I think my main issue is the fact that they are so vague and completely uninteresting, trying to be edgy and of the times. Clearly failing with the wardrobe in the print ads and also the message is unclear. There is one ad that has a mother and a son. The mother is smiling and holding her son and the son has a frown on his face. With the tag “This time it's personal”. What are they trying to say?
