Under the Influence with Terry O'Reilly

I won’t lie, that last episode about Oreo being a knock off got me buzzing in search for some hydrox cookies but alas they seem sold out everywhere! Which Canadian grocery store is regularly holding some. I found a few independent sites selling various sweets but they are largely sold out. You can’t do this to me, explain how Oreo is a knock off but not permitting me to taste the original recipe now owned by leafs brand! Good job on the episode

I love listening to this show! It always brings a smile to hear great marketing history put together in a creative story telling format. Thank you Terry!

Have loved the show right from day one and I still do but my 4-star rating is due to the ads. I get it, ads equal revenue, so I tolerate them. But why not write some award-winning ones like we know you can do? I particularly dislike the ones where you yourself endorse the product… like mattresses or exercise equipment. Also, the voice you use in most of your ads (yours) tricks me into thinking you have started narrating your show. You need to use other voices to signal that this is an ad rather than voice them yourself. Cost savings I’m sure. I’m just tired of all the ho-hum ads created “in-house”. I guess I expected more.

Have been a huge fan since AOP. Always learn something new about the world of advertising. The humour is cheeky and well written.
