I recently spent a couple of days at Penn State (a.k.a. Happy Valley), for PSU's semi-annual College of Communications Board meeting. Some people ask me why I go back to my alma mater a few times a year. They say it in a way that infers I am wasting my valuable time being away from my agency and clients for a couple of days. But unless you have the opportunity to go back to a college campus and sit down with students, I believe you will soon be disconnected with the future of our business.

E para estas marcas não perderem esse espírito “conectado” à vida social de seus consumidores, o que resta é buscar novas maneiras de comunicar sua presença. Um caso bacana é o da Converse, que realizou, semanas atrás, uma divertida ação na cidade de Madri, na Espanha, colocando algumas furgonetas (furgões) percorrendo a cidade, e adaptados com projetores que refletiam cenas de dança e música, em edifícios do centro da cidade. Centenas de pessoas foram impactadas com aquela inusitada surpresa da Converse, sem falar na mídia espontânea gerada na região.
Projetar cenas em prédios e edifícios não é novidade. Vimos (aqui) uma ação similiar, realizada pela Tylenol, nos Estados Unidos. Isso não quer dizer que uma vez feito jamais poderá ser feito outras vezes. O que importa é ser criativo na hora de renovar o contexto da situação.

Any relaxation of rules governing local media ownership is more likely to result in regionally focused groups than fewer, larger “super groups” via a wave of mergers and acquisitions, according to experts surveyed by Media Week about the Lord Carter-sponsored OFT review.
