Advertising Resolutions for the Year of the Ox
Posted in: UncategorizedContextual Ads About Death Are Bad Idea
Posted in: Uncategorized
This may or may not be relevant at all to this blog, but upon reading the very tender, personal note from Joshua Eustis on the death of his Telefon Tel Aviv bandmate Charlie Cooper, I was horrified to see this contextual ad at the top of the MySpace blog post. Perhaps a little discretion when allowing "death" as a targeted keyword, people?
$100,000 a Second? See How the Super Bowl Got So Expensive
Posted in: Uncategorized
LOS ANGELES (AdAge.com) — NBC is asking a record $3 million for 30 seconds of commercial time during its airing of Super Bowl XLIII on Feb. 1. That means advertisers will be paying even more than they paid in 2007, when the cost to reach 1,000 viewers on CBS was a whopping $27.90, the highest CPM ever paid for the Super Bowl.

Oscar 2009: Os posters de Melhor Filme
Posted in: UncategorizedNo ano passado, logo depois de anunciados os indicados ao Oscar, fiz um post para compararmos os posters dos filmes. Resumindo, é uma espécie de categoria: O Melhor Poster de Melhor Filme.
E com os indicados ao Oscar 2009 revelados na semana passada (aliás, errei feio na minha aposta), é hora de colocarmos os cartazes em disputa novamente. Na minha opinião, os concorrentes estão mais fracos do que no ano passado. Designs sem inspiração, pouco conceituais e estampando a cara gigante dos atores super-celebridades hollywodianas (exceto no caso de “Slumdog Millionaire”).
Abaixo você pode ver os cartazes e votar depois do jump. Cada filme tem diversas peças criadas, mas escolhi para publicar aqueles que são considerados os posters oficiais para divulgação internacional.
Os posters de “The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button” e de “Milk” foram criados pelo estúdio Mojo, LLC. O de “Frost/Nixon” e “Slumdog Millionaire” por Bemis Balkind. E o poster de “The Reader” foi criado pela Allied Advertising.
