Lensrentals wants to help marketers, releases humorous marketing blurb generator

Here at Imaging Resource, we see a lot of interesting marketing materials. While we don’t often single out any particular manufacturer for their sometimes imaginative marketing, it can be good to start the week off with some humor. Roger Cicala and Seb Pearce have created a generator for creating random photo marketing blurbs, often to very funny results.

From the generator’s homepage, “Things have been hard for the photo equipment manufacturers lately. They’ve reduced services, laid off workers, cut back R&D, even cancelled new products. The only thing that seems to have been spared is the marketing department. The new equipment blurbs all use more and more pretty adjectives while carefully saying nothing. Well, Mr. Photo Company, we’re here to help! Now you can go ahead and lay off that expensive marketing department. Because with our new (and free!) Random Photo Marketing Generator, you just click on the button and your new product marketing blurb is delivered nearly complete — just add your product name and you’re ready for that release date.”

It's a fun generator and you should give it a go on your own, but here are a few blurbs we got when trying out the site:
