Context
"Just do it" (nike), "Das Auto"(Volkswagen), "High Performance Delivered" (Accenture), "Think Different" (Apple) are some of the all-time famous slogans (mottos/taglines) of the famous corporations. They have left a mark in the minds of the audience. I was curious to understand the thought process behind the slogans, aside from knowing which company has which slogan. These tagline/mottos are a reflection of the company, the organization culture, the psychology and mindset. More than anything else, it is a symbol.
Content
I acquired the data by scraping off a bunch of websites. I started with scraping the data from slogan-list.com (using basic Python libraries - beautiful soup and requests)
Acknowledgements
I owe a lot to the websites through which slogans were captured.
- slogan-list.com
Above all, I owe it to the companies/organizations and their marketing/advertising teams responsible for coming up with such constructive and sticky slogans/taglines.
Inspiration
I hope this dataset serves useful for all the marketing analysts, businessmen/entrepreneurs, strategy folks.
Some open questions we can find answers to:
- What are some of the commonly used words in sticky slogans?
- How many words does a usual slogan have?
- What's the secret behind the popular slogans?
- Are there any trends emerging from the slogans?
- Are certain slogans specific to certain industry? Is there any correlation between the two?
