Just Like Old Times: Scripted Fare Wins TV Ratings


MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — It's been a year — a decade — for reality TV. But at least for one night, it was back to TV's original oeuvres, as sitcoms and dramas on CBS and Fox tied for first with a 4.1/11 rating and share in the ad-centric 18-to-49 demographic. ABC, which had Monday's only reality show, "Dancing With the Stars," was third, with a 3.4/9, while NBC (2.8/7) and the CW (0.4/1), which also depend on dramas, finished fourth and fifth, respectively.

Viral da Ikea(?)

Tá circulando pela internet, na França, o que seria um vídeo plantado pelo pessoal Ikea, com potencial para se espalhar (viralizar) pela a rede. Ainda não há nenhuma confirmação por parte deles, mas como sabemos que Ikea não faz nada sem ser “out of box”, essa, possívelmente, é mais uma cria deles.

Land Rover utiliza o Twitter de maneira diferente

lrtwitter.jpg

Ao invés de somente criar um perfil no Twitter (como foi feito pela Ford e GM) para estender suas conversações com os clientes/consumidores, a Land Rover, dos Estados Unidos, em parceria com a Y&R Wunderman está se apropriando de um jeito menos convencional do microblog mais famoso do mundo. O fato é que a montadora está apresentando seus novos modelos 2010, na América do Norte, inicialmente no  New York International Auto Show. E para acompanhar o debate sobre os novos produtos apresentados pela marca, estão incentivando a utilização da hashtag “#LRNY“, no Twitter. Mesmo quem não é membro do Twitter pode acompanhar o que está sendo dito sobre a Land Rover e seus novos automóveis no Twitter Search.

É legal ver que as marcas estão cada vez mais apostando no Twitter. A última ação de marketing envolvendo o microblog que mais gostei foi a da Dell Brasil. A Paula Rizzo postou no blog dela (aqui).

Why 10 people are on a dog?

People in this mall are actually serving an ad floor promotion by walking on it.
The printed sticker of the dog is covering the floor and offering a nice exposure from the higher level of the mall.
People can see pedestrian walking on the dog as if it was bugs on a dog!
