In traditional count down order here’s our choice and a little bit of reasoning why…
10. We have all walked into a restaurant and not felt like the most important guest that evening, Basil just wants to rub it in though, CRM personified, our first top 10 entry is…Basil’s CRM Lesson
9. A good chef requires patience and the fiery Gordon demonstrates his patience here in his hunt for Octopus – Number 9 Gordon’s Octopus Hunt
8. A marketing message that is subtle, impacts and resonates is effective, these two simplify technology to their target audience and make the benefits to guests crystal clear – two tie for equal placing here – NUMBER 8 AND NUMBER 8
7. Celebrities demand attention, who could possibly question their credentials – Over to South Park – Celebrity Chefs
6. Another funny, if you ever wanted to witness just how patient customers can be or how confusing fast food and modern technology can be watch this, should we have rated this higher..? Over to Moira 🙂
5. Down to practical matters – Recipes and cooking tips from the best in the business help inspire us to do a bit more of an evening to satisfy our appetites and feel we have done something to deserve a simple treat. This one is simple, easy and practical – Thanks Marco
4. Back to the funnies, it doesn’t matter how many times we see this one it always makes us laugh, we also have a crate of Heineken in the office at all times, but we are absolutely not influenced by advertising. This one is also funnier in Dutch, and we don’t know why – see for yourself
3. On to the serious business of using media to communicate a marketing message. We recently received a video for a range of banqueting trolleys, and it simply does the job. We love it and it shows how a bit of creativity delivers the message loud and clear – NUMBER THREE
2. We all like a laugh and this one makes us laugh more than most. Working in a kitchen as a chef involves team work and the way the ‘team’ gang up on making this work requires real teamwork. A bit cruel but nothing most of us haven’t experienced in our first job or two methinks – Chef teamwork – NUMBER TWO – Pièce de résistance
1. Heston’s guests eat whale vomit starter – You have to ask yourself is Heston a better marketer than chef, on the basis that who could even contemplate serving whale vomit (ambergris), persuade celerities to attend, video the feast and then get the participants to wax so lyrical about it – dumbfounded and in total admiration – the easiest decision we had to make.
