Anybody else notice a massive marketing campaign for student loans directing consumers to astrive399.com

Why pick such a bad domain name for an expensive marketing campaign

The commerical is running every 15 minutes but geez is this a memorable domain?

Am I missing something about the branding behind this campaign?

the domain is a tracker for the ad.

lol, you remembered it enough to post it here so it must be working.

Like biggie said, it for advertising campaign tracking as you will notice they own astrive.com also.

I was in front of the computer when the ad kept coming on so my "remembering" doesnt count

I think its stupid

If you say so

I think its bad marketing

We used to tack ads via /123 behind a domain - at least the domain builds brand recognition
