Creepy Kidtography – ‘Madura Inocencia’ by Nora Lezano is Addams Family-Approved (GALLERY)

(TrendHunter.com) There’s a certain creepiness about kids, especially when they’re made up as they are in Nora Lezano’s ‘Madura Inocencia.’ These children may be the epitome of innocence, but they sure don’t look it. With…

Michael Jackson – Scream

Un hommage de plus pour cet immense artiste, avec ci-dessous la rediffusion de “Scream” : son clip ultra-futuriste, entièrement en noir et blanc et en duo avec sa soeur Janet Jackson. Une superbe réalisation de Mark Romanek. Produit par Cean Chaffin en 1995.



Il s’agit d’un des clips les plus chers de l’histoire : 7 millions de dollars.

Keep it Simple, People.

best-job-in-the-worldIn a world where clutter is king, advertisers everywhere are doing their best to break through the noise. A word of advice (or three) — keep it simple.

That’s exactly what Australian agency Cummins Nitro did in their campaign for Tourism Queensland.

Challenged to “create international awareness of the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef” and drive tourism there, the local agency executed a campaign that placed classified ads in newspapers across the globe. Unusual? Not if you’re looking to fill a position for “The Best Job in the World.”

The job profile called for an island caretaker whose responsibilities would involve menial jobs like cleaning the pool and feeding the fish. The chosen employee would also be expected to blog weekly about their adventures on the island. Throw in a rent-free three-bedroom villa, a roughly $8,800/month salary and… BAM! One fan-freakin-tastic job.

Now, in an economic recession when thousands are looking for gainful employment… who wouldn’t love a 6-month paying gig feeding fishies on a tropical island, right?

This simple idea sparked an international movement. News and media sources picked up on the incredible job offer, millions of people flocked to the campaign’s website — islandreefjob.com — and by the end of it, over 34,000 people from 200 countries had submitted 60-second videos about why they should have the best job in the world.

Cummins Nitro put the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef back on the map. And if that wasn’t enough — they have racked up in Cannes this week, picking up three Grand Prix awards in the PR, Direct and Cyber categories thus far.

And the lucky bloke who got the job…?

Comment on Wrangler: Dakota 1, Coco White Flare, Dakota On Road, Coco Crouching, Dakota 2 by Ryan

I don’t understand why this is getting such a low rating. I’d say it’s easy to get without the creative description. The tagline’s pretty effective even without the photos, and I like that they kept its typography clean instead of going down the faux-roughness route, which with the photos would just be overkill. And if you have to take anything from the description, it’s that this was designed to be open-ended and evolve. The amount of fun you could get out of a marketing campaign based on something as simple as “We Are Animals” is limitless. I’m not surprised it won awards – as far as fresh starts go, plugging into the growing importance of re-integrating ourselves with nature and the environment, while leaving room for improvement and extended creativity, and having an impact all its own… this is fairly impressive.

That didn't take long. Pepsi in Canada is running ads on several music sites to pay tribute to its former pitchman, the late Michael Jackson.

Twitter is What Second Life Wasn’t: Light, Cheap and Open


I run into many skeptics who believe that Twitter is rife with the sort of hype associated with the ascent and crash of Second Live. This is not true. Twitter is suffused with hype, for sure, but it is surely a much different and more sustainable hype than Second Life.

Social Media: Communities Based on Trust Are Stronger


Reading about the brutal layoffs at MySpace last week sent chills down my spine. It comes only two months after a new CEO, a former Facebook exec, took over from MySpace's founding CEO. It sounds like fodder for those "tell-all" books about a business in crisis.

Cannes Lions 2009: GP de Film para “Carousel” da Philips

O filme “Carousel”, que na verdade também é site, da Philips para divulgar a sua Cinema 21:9, a primeira TV com formato de cinema, ganhou o prêmio máximo da categoria Film.

Falei da ação em abril aqui no blog, inclusive com o esclarecedor making of. A criação é da Tribal DDB de Amsterdam e da Stink Digital.

Chegou-se a comentar em Cannes que a categoria Film poderia ficar sem GP, por falta de merecimento das peças no shortlist, mas prevaleceu a técnica surpreendente do trabalho da Tribal. Conceitualmente não acho brilhante, mas é grandioso e interativo.

Relembre o post original, logo mais atualizarei o post com o vídeo-case.

Sex, Sex, Sex

Fast Food Wars I am loving the porno wars fast food company’s have introduced into our advertising. While only a few have been spotted here in our U.S. of A, international Advertising is running ramped with the integration of food and sex.

I’m not offended — as a woman, a professional, and an advertiser. In fact, I am completely digging this. When times get desperate, living organisms seek whatever means necessary to survive. Just take a look at any of the popular “survival” shows. So, why should advertising be the exception. Hasn’t advertising always been the medium to push the envelope, to blur the line or whatever cliché you want to insert. It has. I say: “Jolly good fun!”

Starting from the Quizno’s Marlboro inspired sandwich all the way to the “put it in me” line from… wait, that’s Quizno’s too! Wow. Nothing like Subway’s major competitor to recommend sex and smoking as they compete against Jared followers. That, of course, is probably all he needed: to get laid and have a smoke (the century-old diet plan). Quizno’s isn’t the only company targeting raging hormones, as Hardee’s are Carls Jr. are also contributing more than their share of sex to advertising.

We’re so desperate to hold on to the growing competition in market share, that soon, we’re just going to show completely nude women sitting with a foot-long Subway sandwich between her legs offering a “quick and cheap” lunch option “any way you want it.”

In case you’ve missed the latest release, Burger King has decided to step up its game in the fast food wars. Since they’ve completely lost the family market to McDonald’s, they just figured they would go the completely opposite route and appeal to the sex starved males. That’s a BIG market, and why not capitalize on it? I think it’s smart of BK to restructure their targeting because they’ve truly been fighting a losing battle for a long time. You can’t beat McDonald’s. You just can’t. Let them have their family. Eventually, these kids are going to grow up and become sex starved teens and young adults, which is exactly whom The King is targeting!
