NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — "We have a lot of lapsed customers," said Chief Marketing Officer Richard Gerstein. "Sears is a great brand in people's minds. … We've become just a little less top of mind." Maybe that's due to the company's 13% drop in ad spending in the past two years, its focus on pushing particular departments or promotional items rather than building a consistent image, or its 200-plus stores that it admits look rather shopworn.

Here’s an Absolut ad running in Mexico:
The LA Times reports:
The billboard and press campaign, created by advertising agency Teran\TBWA and now running in Mexico, is a colorful map depicting what the Americas might look like in an “Absolut” — i.e., perfect — world.
The U.S.-Mexico border lies where it was before the Mexican-American war of 1848 when California, as we now know it, was Mexican territory and known as Alta California.
The campaign taps into the national pride of Mexicans, according to Favio Ucedo, creative director of leading Latino advertising agency Grupo Gallegos in the U.S.
Ucedo, who is from Argentina, said: “Mexicans talk about how the Americans stole their land, so this is their way of reclaiming it. It’s very relevant and the Mexicans will love the idea.â€
Native Americans probably want to redraw the map even more, I suspect. And Lou Dobbs is now totally switching to Grey Goose.
