Ecomagination with GE Washers

GE WashersOne thing about people these days is that they are finding ways to conserve and go green. There are a lot of ways to do it as we see from advice and products offered in the market today. While GE Consumer and Industrial’s washers are sure to be a good add towards these needs, it is really the essence of their product conceptualization and purpose through their ads that is bound to capture the market attention.

Marketing and advertising will promote several innovative technologies built into the GE Profile washer and dryer–from the SmartDispense that holds up to six months of detergent and fabric softener and then dispenses just the right amount based on soil level, load size, water hardness and fabric type, to CleanSpeak, which lets the washer electronically tell the dryer which items to expect.

If there is one thing about being eco-friendly, it is control and discipline. While we are offered with a bundle of green patched devices, going green and conservative really starts on how you can control and discipline yourself!

Nitro Takes Philly Cream Cheese

chrisclarke.jpg

Kraft is a hot mess. Accounts here, there, at the same four agencies again and again. Here’s the story:

JWT’s Toronto office has been handling Philly Cream Cheese for about a year, but just lost it to New York agency, Nitro. Still, JWT will hold it down for the bran in 20 markets outside the U.S.

Now, Nitro beat out defender JWT, DraftFCB and mcgarrybowen. Sigh, okay, but mcgarrybowen is still holding it down. They just won Kraft’s natural cheese creative account from DraftFCB in Chicago.

I mean really. It’s exhausting. That picture up there is of Nitro’s CEO, Chris Clarke. He’s got a little Tommy Boy thing going on, no?

AT&T Rings Up Positive PR With Olympic ‘Soundtrack’

Popeyes New Spot From Greed, Sex, Drugs & Money

Aside from GSD&M’s internal espionage problems, they also must be a little stoked. Today, the shop will be debuting its new broadcast spots for Popeye’s chicken. The agency also recently scored national, regional and local media buying and planning duties. Okay. Score.

The new brand slogan is “Louisiana Kitchen.” That’s right. The chicken maker has gone back to its down South roots. The new positioning focuses on Popeyes’s process and quality. The advertising introduces a chef, “Ed,” (that’s real Southern) who sits down with shares insights about their food choices and all the work that is behind Popeyes products. For example, Ed tallies up the time and labor cost to prepare the new chicken wrap. He calculates that the 12-hour marinating process, combined with a six dollar hourly rate, means that the guests are actually eating a “$72 Wrap.”

Check it out above. What do you think? The comments section is ready and waiting.
