Posted in: UncategorizedOffice Max Accepts Pennies
Posted in: UncategorizedThe lowly penny gets no respect. But Office Max wants to change that.
To get the word out that pennies are currency too, The Escape Pod, on Office Max’s behalf, sent a redheaded man armed with a suitcase full of pennies into the mean streets (and stores) of New York.

Posted in: UncategorizedAt E3, Where the Lines Between Games and Reality Blur
Posted in: UncategorizedThe thing about shows is they're big, crowded, require lots of walking and generally serve crappy concession food. So when you can see the new products and talk to the people behind them without actually having to go, well, that's the kind of event we can get behind. In this case, we're talking about E3 — and Ogilvy Digital Labs continues its vlogging of the annual gaming event for DigitalNext.
For Whom The Belt Tightens
Posted in: UncategorizedAccording to Ad Age, Coca-Cola is looking to save between $400 million and $500 million a year by the end of 2011. And it’s looking to find some of those savings in marketing.
According to The Wall Street Journal, General Motors, the nation’s fourth largest advertiser—they spent $2.1 billion last year—will also be making deep cuts. GM cut their ad spend by 24% from 2005 to 2006, and another 7.7% from 2006 to 2007.
Interpublic Group of Cos. Inc. likely will be affected by the cutbacks, as GM is among its top three clients. Publicis Groupe also counts GM as one of its largest clients.
On another front, Om Malik thinks Silicon Valley “should be worried.”
We know the housing and financial sector-related ads have already declined drastically, now we’re going to start to see other sectors cut back on advertising, too — and that is going to have a negative impact on everyone from large social networks to ad networks to Yahoo and Google to small startups, including weblogs like ours.
