Patriotic Marketing: An Australian Case Example

CXase Study, 'Patriotic Marketing: An Australian Case Example; that we have to refer to within our response.

Australian ownership of business simply jingoism?' The copy of the ad reads: ‘Newspaper journalist, Dennis Shanahan, has been running a campaign against Dick Smith Foods, claiming that it is "feeding paranoia" and "jingoism" to promote the advantages of Australian owned businesses.

‘At the same time Mr Shanahan pushes the advantages of ‘Australian Made' especially when promoted by foreign companies.

‘The reason for this hypocrisy is obvious to most Aussies. The big foreign companies that exploit the "Australian Made" logo have enormous advertising clout in the press. Patriotic Australians are not stupid-we know that while "Australian made" is good "Australian owned and made" is even better as the profits stay here creating wealth and a better future for our children and grandchildren.'

Do you think Dick Smith is hypocritical in making use of his image of patriotism to brand his products and increase sales, and denigrate his competitors that are predominately foreign owned? Some critics labelled Dick Smith's new adventure as ‘nothing more than a money-making
scheme'. What do you think?
