    In the classiest bit of fast food marketing possibly ever: Left: McDonalds in Akihabara announces it is closing after 22 years. Right: Burger King thanks them for 22 years of friendly rivalry and bringing smiles to the neighborhood.https://twitter.com/sato322/status/1222867637631238144 …

        Bottom left corner of the BK poster: "If you'd like to come reminisce about fun times at [that] McDonalds, bring a receipt from their shop to us within [a week after they close] and we'll give you a free small coffee."

        It's so good, both from an instrumental effectiveness perspective and also from "Isn't this just *who we want to be*?"

        Oh, *extremely* relevant to how the sign is read, which changes my opinion a bit: The first characters in each line read "WE WON" if you read up-and-down rather than left-to-right.https://twitter.com/anditto_h/status/1223020764569292801?s=20 …

        Part of me wants to say "Ahh, double coding a message like that, I will acknowledge that that was clever" but it's now very much not the kind of clever that I will be praising to people in coming years.

        Forgot which company, think car company, placed an ad thanking a departing CEO of rival company. Classy and effective. Yes def some free media for rival but lots of earned media when you can step above the fray. This is even classier bc doesnt look as angled for PR .

        I got annoyed by the distracting "trends" panel so I set my location to Japan. Not only are Japanese trends exclusively in a language I can't read, but they're also all about hobbies and video games instead of war and politics. 五/五 would recommend. pic.twitter.com/wrtgc6Rvrz
