GoDaddy saw their sales sky rocket after they ran their ad campaign. Rather than focus on Simple they focused on Sex – the one thing that will always sell.

Simplicity is awesome, small is beautiful. But look, its still advertising and it still is 1 way messaging, which more than anything else, has simply lost its efficacy in my eyes…now its just a slow long slog till its totally dead.
