Talk:Kids Go HoJo with Sega

To do

• Find the Bob template for advertising campaigns and get it on the article.
• Find a Sega-relevant photo of the actual hotels (preferably, that lobby Sonic standee)
• Did this campaign have an archived website?
• Reception and modern reputation, particularly the VHS tapes. As video media, it's one of the most propagated and well-known association with this campaign, and we all know the videos' reputation.
• This would be nice for all other advertising campaign articles, but a section on likely investment vs. return. Thinking about this... despite it's reputation, this couldn't have cost either company involved much outside of marketing costs. Some amounts of rented hardware/software, lots of cheap paper materials, crayons, etc. I wonder if that's why it won Strottman that award. Anyway.
• Talk about Kids Go HoJo in general, as like a "brand" of- that's not right, but like a repeated, "branded" advertising campaign. After Sega, I think they did Magic Schoolbus, etc. Check if Kids Go HoJo started with Sega.
• Pulling Michael Berreth's website from the article because he doesn't list anything related to Kids Go HoJo/Strottman, but the link is here if anyone's interested in doing further research. Also, anything notable about him not listing it? Did others involved slowly begin to disassociate themselves from the project once the internet/google/youtube made its reputation more widespread? Likely not, but something to look into.

Kids Go Hojo did not started with Sega... it started in April 1990 ... initially with other franchises such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (kids who joined the Kids Go HoJo Fun Club at the time were also provided with toys, the very first edition of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Magazine and a t-shirt of the club for example)... but it only became a thing when Howard Johnson's partnered with Sega :) ...--Asagoth (talk) 13:56, 26 October 2021 (EDT)

"The chain will also sponsor an international videogame championship at 100 of its properties..."...--Asagoth (talk) 16:03, 26 October 2021 (EDT)

Sega Game Gear Tips actors...

What about those two guys?... I know that the actor who plays the guest is known, but I can't remember his name... but what about the other guy? (I don't know why but he reminds me a bit of Kyle Anderson from "Last Man Standing" :) ...) I could almost swear to have seen this guy in another show back then, but I might be wrong... his face looks familiar...--Asagoth (talk) 04:52, 27 October 2021 (EDT)
