Why I Hate Social Media


At the risk of being branded a heretic or perhaps just being shown the door by my agency HR Director, I have to say it: I hate social media. Why? Because it's just media. And since when was media ever interesting?

How to Avoid Agency Growing Pains

When I recently tried to enter our agency, Partners & Napier, in Ad Age's Small Agency Awards, I came to a realization: In just five years, our agency had tripled in size and become too big to be a small agency. A lot of the lessons we've learned along the way aren't specific to a small or midsize agency. But they serve as key tenets as we continue on our quest to realize our vision and expand our impact on even more national clients.

Doritos | Let’s Make It To a Second Date

Na Argentina, a missão de Doritos é unir as pessoas pelo amor e mostrar aos jovens como se dar bem nos relacionamentos. A genial “Que Vuelvan Los Lentos” foi a primeira campanha a ajudar nesse objetivo, e agora a marca volta com “Lleguemos a la segunda salida”, ou seja: como o cara deve se comportar para conseguir um segundo encontro.

São três filmes com três situações distintas. Mostram o errado para no final dizer o que é certo. Assista um abaixo e outros dois depois do jump, no idioma original com legendas em inglês.

A criação é da BBDO Argentina, com produção da Rebolucion.

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Could this be the year more TV advertisers decide to take a hard line against broadcast-network price increases and sit out the upfront marketplace altogether?

Banner + Twitter para indicar o Volkswagen ideal

VW

Banners que agregam conteúdo ou buscam dados em outras ferramentas são o futuro. Bem, pelo menos o futuro dos banners. Um exemplo é Playground Barometer, uma das minhas apostas para Cannes Lions 2009. Você digita o seu CEP e o banner indica qual o casaco ideal para você usar dependendo da temperatura.

O banner abaixo, dentro da campanha “Meet The Volkswagens”, integra com o Twitter para indicar o carro mais adequado ao seu perfil. Assim como na aplicativo de Facebook da mesma ação, a resposta é muito arbitrária. Quais critérios foram utilizados para a indicação do carro? Ninguém sabe, mas vale pela brincadeira.

De qualquer maneira, anote aí: banners integrados com Twitter. Teste o da Crispin Porter + Bosgusky para VW abaixo:

MTV Argentina

Twittei, retwittei e não canso de assistir aos novos comerciais da MTV Argentina, criados pela agência La Comunidad.

Coca-Cola | The? Sound of Flowers

Coke Festival Tour

Certamente você já teve ou conhece alguém que teve uma daquelas inconfundíveis Rock ‘n Flowers, mais um brinquedo (?) típico dos anos 1980 que virava atração na casa de quem tinha.

Um porrilhão de anos depois, essas florzinhas que dançam viraram protagonistas em um comercial da Coca-Cola na Espanha. O filme divulga a promoção Coca-Cola Festival Tour, que vai levar quatro pessoas e seus amigos para conferir cinco grandes festivais de música pela Europa.
