(TrendHunter.com) Tea Leoni is starring in a “Manure” a new film which, I must say, has one of the oddest names I’ve seen in film.
Dung is probably not the first thing that comes to mind you think of Tea Leoni, but if…
American Idol is one of the many programs that relies on schadenfreude for its back cone. The word describes that sick, but pleasurable feeling us nasty humans get when we enjoy in the misfortune of someone else.
The spot above from Tribal DDB Hamburg for T-Mobile takes the very relevant idea of schadenfreude and spits it back out as inspiration. Nice job.

Gideon Baws, 33, passed away recently. Creativity has a wonderful summary of his work. A post mortem gave his cause of death as myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart.
Baws was one of the members of London-based animation/directing team Shynola. The group was responsible for big name work such as Disney’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and musicians such as Queens Of The Stone Age.

“Jon Friedman’s Media Web” column on MarketWatch.com looks at how The Economist manages to grow (ad revenue is up 6% this year) while other titles flounder.
“The underlying problem in magazine publishing is that many books think that the readers are less valuable than the advertisers,” Paul Rossi, managing director and executive vice president of The Economist Group, Americas, said.
The Economist carries a hefty price tag of $6.99 an issue, but it offers no apologies.
“Once you’ve built a brand, you can put your prices up,” Rossi said. The price of a single copy of a magazine “should be at the top of the range, not the bottom.”
Yep, I kid you not. I’ve been doing an informal poll of CMOs of some of the major companies represented here at the Association of National Advertisers Conference in Orlando. Many of them have never heard of Twitter!
In fact, in a little flash poll that he ANA organizers just did, the majority of CMOs do NOT value social networks for marketing. more after the jump

Julius Dunn is the man behind the new Adversi+y/One-Club program that is trying to bring a little flavor to the ad business.
When asked “What will become of the traditional advertising agency model?” Dunn had this to say in a recent interview:
“It will never be the same… It’s already not the same just comparing it to where it was five years ago. Gamers have changed the game. YouTube has changed the game. Facebook and MySpace have CHANGED, THE, GAME! It’s a new day for advertisers and their clients because the consumer attention span just got “that” much shorter, and with technology being so accessible they have no problem letting you know how much you and your products suck.
Then you factor in Patricia Gatling and all that she has done in office as the NYC Commissioner for Human Rights, and the attention she has brought to the lack of diversity in the advertising industry. It’s clear to see things have changed, are changing and will change even more, and we [Adversi+y/One-Club] hope to be one of few catalyst for tomorrow’s change.”
While Dunn hits all the talking points that have been floating around the business for at least two years, we like the way he said it: quick and deadly.

New Balance has tapped Mother New York to lead their global agency of record. New Balance employs more than 4000 people worldwide and in 2007 reported worldwide sales of $1.63 billion. Mother is charged with showing off the work of two new creative directors, Savania Davies-Keiller and Roberto Crivello of DDCLAB.
If you recall, BBDO had won the account in 2007. Of course, the brand is a bit schizophrenic employing all sorts of shops in New York to do “special projects” no matter who their AOR is.
Linus Karlsson and Paul Malmstrom, partners at Mother said the usual PR drivel: “Consumers can expect to see compelling New Balance Lifestyle products and compelling New Balance Lifestyle consumer experiences.”
