Ever since the dawn of social media, brands have been eager to hijack whatever people are talking about for their own benefit.
Pizza Hut tried it with their questionable ‘big deal’ tweet, and now the Swansea tourist board have tried to kill two birds with one stone.

Similar arguments have surrounded Swansea City’s managerial situation, with people making their voices heard both for and against caretaker boss Alan Curtis until Francesco Guidolin arrived from Italy to take the reins.
‘But how can someone to combine the two, and throw an ad for Swansea Bay into the equation?’ we hear you ask. Badly, is the answer.
