Prudential Billboards promoting ER
« on: November 11, 2018, 01:45:20 PM »
The other day on our way to the airport, I noticed two different billboards that gave me a chuckle, both for Prudential:

1) "Robots can't take your job if you're already retired."
2) "They say Millennials are lazy and don't want to work.  Prove them right by retiring early."

Has anyone else seen good ER-promoting billboards?

We have the first one here in town so I have seen it in person.  Gave me a chuckle.

Are you in the bay area?  Because both of those are on the way to the Oakland airport from the north :-)

Yea I really like the prudential billboards.  I've seen probably half a dozen along those lines.  Bravo to them.

Saw a photo of the first one on twitter a month or so back. I think it's a clever ad strategy but I don't know how many people are actually conscious of how close so many jobs are to going away. Although maybe the people with lots of money, who they're trying to attract, are going to be more conscious of it than your average consumer?

I'm in the Chicago area.  Saw one on the way to Midway airport, and the other on the way to O'hare.
