    I had to laugh at the Cosmopolitan yoghurt too. Seriously? They’d have stood a better chance if they’d gone into sex toys or perhaps an anonymous, online radio show maybe. I call dibs on the suggestions for Cosmopolitan in case it blows. Lol! Thanks for the write-up Colin.

      Thanks Bunmi! Yeah… the yogurt is ridiculous. As if a magazine has any credibility in food products.

    This is a very good approach, I’m getting the point there. Thank you, Colin, to take a moment in the blog to talk about this. It was awesome to see how brands travel from product A to product B and how some wouldn’t seem like a great idea. I won’t buy the yogurt, it didn’t seem that tasty.

    Thanks David. Yeah… sometimes brands take a leap to another product category that is too far for the customers to follow.

      Hi Eric. Yeah… the Cosmo one blows my mind too because it’s not like 1 person thought it was a good idea, it probably was a dozen or more people to get it through the hoops of licensing and sourcing. But some organizations can be so insular and out of touch, and those bad ideas look good!

    your mandate is to evaluate the extension strategies of the organization you have chosen.

      Hi Nathalie. This feels like homework! What are you referring to when you say ‘online extension?
