I feel there is a difference between marketing consumer products or branding, and selling iSeries boxes. I just don't believe it would be cost effective to advertise iSeries at Superbowl half time. Just as it wouldn't be cost effective to advertise it on soda cans or billboards. I would suspect that a significant number of viewers would be potential car, computer, or deodorant customers. I'd even say that a significant number might be potential IBM customers. But when I want people to sink money into iSeries, it is because they will see significant ROI. I think IBM marketing also should seek ROI and I am not sure an iSeries specific ad would give that. I'm happy if IBM runs around advertising eServers right and left all over the world. The important thing, in my view, is that IBM remember to keep the iSeries on the top of its list when customers needing a server solution show up looking.
