Ad Age talked to Hulu CEO Jason Kilar about how the deal changes the game for Hulu.

Obama and Tim Roth Lose Half Their Viewers After 100 Days


MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — Barack Obama's 100-day mark was this week, as he discussed during his presidential press conference, but it's also been 100 days since the launch of "Lie to Me," which made its debut a night after Mr. Obama's Jan. 20 inauguration. The show made the news this week when News Corp. announced it would run it instead of the president's press event. Nielsen ratings for both "Lie to Me" and the prime-time press conference show about half the viewers of their dazzling debuts.

Dell e a Dança do Créu

Ah, isso é mentira vai. Fala que é fake, que foi feito por alguma pessoa pra tirar uma onda. A Dell não fez isso. Claro que não, nunca faria. Tenho certeza.

Fez mesmo? Conseguiu ser pior do que aqueles infomerciais terríveis que passam na TV? A Microsoft se mata para dizer que PC é cool, gasta milhões para mostrar que PC é melhor que os Macs da Apple, e a Dell faz isso?

Prepare-se para níveis de vergonha alheia nunca antes atingidos na história da propaganda mundial.

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell

Vou falar: achei hilário o novo comercial da Dell.
Circulando na internet, com inserções na home da Wired e no Youtube, o comercial é uma paródia à “Dança do Créu“, famosa música(?) que “explodiu” em todo Brasil, ano passado. O filme serve para divulgar o perfil da Dell Brasil no Twitter. No início do mês, a Dell Brasil também saiu com um anúncio na Revista Época comunicando que a subsidiária brasileira da empresa havia lançado um perfil no microblog. Pelo que eu to vendo, a Dell é uma das empresas que mais está levando a sério essa tendência. Assista o filme e dê sua opinião:

De qualquer maneira, fica a idéia para a Crispin Porter + Bogusky. Agressividade galera, chega dessa história bonitinha de “I’m a PC”, nada disso ainda me fez trocar o meu MacBook. E MacBook Black, MacBook de macho, nada dessa frescura de Air.

Head




The HEAD brand has a new modern positioning. Why, I hear you ask yourselves?

Well, to strengthen their position in the market place, HEAD felt the need to rejuvenate the brand by taking it in a fresh direction, and so a more emotional strategy was devised. To make them more distinctive from their competitors and to capture their customer’s hearts, they have shifted focus away from equipment technology by creating a brand story, and to express this new emotion they have a totally new brand slogan “The Power of You”.

In order to reach a modern, young, brand-savvy target audience a new communications strategy has been devised, focusing on new advertising channels including viral. The Djokovic viral film is the cornerstone of this new consumer-centric direction and HEAD hope it will up their cool credentials by getting young people talking about the brand.

In the film we see Novak Djokovic score on and off court. The slow motion action replay shows his finesse as a real player. Between shots he manages to flirt with a young lady in the crowd, charming her with everything from a 90’s boy band dance routine to nipple tassel twirling and even a Navy Seals balancing act! After all, being a male tennis player isn’t just about scoring points, it’s also about scoring with the ladies, watch carefully as Novak gives us a lesson in the art of seduction. It’s all in the game!
