ABC, ‘Desperate Housewives’ Win Sunday
Posted in: Uncategorized
MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — In a puzzling plot twist, the last scene of last night's two-hour "Desperate Housewives" finale fast-forwarded five years with a peek into how their lives had changed. ABC, however, probably wished the show could have rewound to 2005, when the breakout hit's finale delivered a 13.4/31 rating and share in the ad-centric adult 18-49 demographic.

Posted in: UncategorizedYou may have heard that current and former Fallon creatives are melting down their precious hardware.
According to Creativity, the award show statues will be made into a nameplate for the new office Fallon moves into next month. “We think it’s a cool alternative to filling a lobby with a shelf to showcase awards,” said Fallon’s new ECD, Al Kelly.
Atom Pechman of Form From Form will do the honors.
Kelly said, “We talked to a lot of metal workers who wouldn’t do it, and he was the one guy that got excited and accepted the challenge. He’s a real artist and he’s going to melt them all down and pour them into a special mold. One of the challenges has been that metals have different melting points. Gold melts at a different temperature than bronze. If you’re not careful and you mix different metals, the whole thing could explode.”
This whole episode reminds Kelly’s former boss, Scott Goodson, how much things have changed in the ad biz.
Now that the digital world has usurped the traditional one, the legacy agencies like Publicis’ Fallon have been overshadowed by agencies like North Kingdom, Daddy and Far Far, Deep Focus, Albert Ken on the other extreme. In addition a new breed of agency has been born out of the bedrock of the legacy Fallon brand – start up entrepreneurial agencies like Persuasion Arts and Sciences led by Fallon mavericks Mark Johnson and Dion Hughs, Brew, Adrian Ho’s firm, not to mention Toy. There are great memories connected with that time in the 80s.
There is a great quote: “The richness of life lies in the memories we have forgotten.†This fun stunt by Al brings a lot of that back.
Hold it, shops I’ve never heard of are overshadowing Fallon? I feel lost all of a sudden.
Clamor for Australian Regulation on Junk Food Advertising
Posted in: Uncategorized
Junk food, like candies and chips, are known to have no health benefits to anyone who would love to eat them. But while this is a known fact, advertising companies have this creative way of making them a hot item in the market through their unique and captivating style of getting the attention of the market audience.
Today however in places like
“I don’t think any parent wants to deny the occasional treat or sweet or trip to a fast-food restaurant, The Age quoted Peter Kell, Choice’s chief executive, as saying.
“But what parents are saying is that they feel their messages for healthy eating are getting undermined at every turn by the relentless number of junk food ads,” he added.

Visa Going Bananas with Catherine Zeta-Jones
Posted in: UncategorizedVisa has been known to be aggressive as far as creating commercials is concerned and apparently all it needs is a mixture of one fine actress in the mold of Catherine Zeta-Jones to spearhead this commercial.
Visa is known all throughout the world and apparently there are not stops on where it can be used. With that in mind, it should not be surprising why most people prefer to use Visa in the way it should be and obviously for anyone at any time.
But what if worst comes to worst when even wise monkeys will really know the real worth of the Visa Credit Card?
