Nope, companies usually don't leave any chance to point to the competition's faults and laugh, even if they themselves are worse in that regard.
- dman 16y agoIt does carry a risk though - if you make securing a major online service sound too easy by ridiculing your competitor then down the line when you get breached its more damaging imo. eg I dont remember any Car companies in recent history pointing to Service recalls of their competitors in their advertisements, ditto for Airlines and crashes.
- nkassis 16y agoAirline crashes would be such a bad PR idea I mean, that's just bad taste.
- scott_s 16y agoIt is, and that's the example I thought of in response to the point. But car companies do advertise the safety of their cars. The situation is different, though, since different cars do have different safety measures, and such things do get rated.
