Gary sent a message to Greg Creed – Chief Executive Officer, Yum! Brands, Inc. – Email Address that said:
Please do not judge me by my bluntness...but your Colonel Sanders ad campaign sucks. I actually just saw the Crispy commercial...and to be honest...that is an embarrassment. There is a very logical way for KFC to progress in a profitable manner..but these ad campaigns seem like a course of self destruction. I am always available for consultation....but be forewarned, I am just every day folk. And I gotta tell you...everyday folk don't like this new Colonel. You had an opportunity to bury the past and move on profitably and you couldn't see it. I feel like I am watching another piece of Americana slipping away. BTW...Us folks up here in the Northeast are still pretty partial to AW...or...what's left of it...or what it used to be. If you want to move on...it's serious time to renovate....in a way that people can follow
Good Luck
Again...hope I'm not saying goodbye
