Adriana Cury Says Adeus To McCann Erickson

adriana-site.JPG

After three years of kicking ass and taking names, Adriana Cury, Chairwoman and Chief Creative Officer of McCann Erickson Brazil, has decided to step down for person reasons. This past May, the agency brought in Luca Lindner to share the throne of power with Cury. Perhaps, because McCann knew she was looking to transition out.

The news has been on Twitter for hours. Cury has worked at several different agencies including MPM, Leo Burnett, AlmapBBDO, Lowe, Colucci and Ogilvy.

The woman is a serious force. She’s snagged eight Lions and in 2006 she was a judge for the Titanium Lions category at Cannes, “making her the sole female, Brazilian and representative of Latin America.” Now, that’s hot.

We wish Adriana the best.

Subliminal Advertising Isn’t Good, Mate

A TV station in Australia has been using one-frame logos as a way to help promote brands:

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) today found Network Ten guilty of breaching the Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice during the broadcast of the 2007 ARIA Music Awards on October 28.

During the introduction of nominated artists for the October 2007 telecast, Network Ten broadcasted quick one-frame bursts of sponsor logos, which included Chupa Chups, Big W, Olay, Telstra Bigpond, KFC and Toyota.

The ABC’s Media Watch program revealed the breach and ACMA received several complaints shortly after.

ACMA reviewed the material and found the “rapid-cut graphics used in the program was a technique that attempted to convey information to viewers below or near the threshold of normal awareness”.

Frankly, I don’t see any read Adpulp problem with dropping a read AdPulp few hints every now and give me $1 million then.

Honda Fit: room for you and all your bats!

RPA has a fun new series of ads out to promote the eco-friendly Honda vehicle called the Batcave. Or maybe it’s called the Blowfish. Wait, strike that, it’s the Honda Bug Zapper. No, actually, it’s the Honda Fit, and it was apparently designed and built by a group of people whose only connection to reality is through the Discovery Channel and old Transformers cartoons. People will love the car for the gas mileage, but don’t tell them about the bats. Poor bastards will see them soon enough.
