One Man’s Opinion: Woods’ Press Conference Was Effective


As the communicators, we're taught that public relations is the art of positioning through communications. Communications in this sense is everything from what was said, not said, and the visual presentation. In the case of Tiger's redemption party (or more like a wake), the following is my take on what was a highly-crafted and highly-effective press conference.

Sarah Silverman e a polêmica no TED

TED Sarah Silverman

Se você já assistiu “The Sarah Silverman Program” (Comedy Central nos EUA, e Sony no Brasil), certamente pensaria duas vezes antes de convidá-la para falar em um evento. Você pode se considerar um cara bem humorado e cabeça aberta, mas não poderá garantir que outras terão tolerância para piadas sobre todo tabu social que possa imaginar, incluindo assuntos “leves” como racismo, religião, sexismo e deficiências em geral.

Imagine então (a sempre brilhante) Sarah Silverman falando para a pretensiosa platéia com complexo de superioridade do TED, que inclui cientistas, matemáticos, inventores, pensadores, laureados ao prêmio Nobel, entre outras espécies. É como levar uma bomba relógio pra dentro de casa e pensar que nada pode acontecer.

TED Sarah Silverman

Sarah Silverman surpreendeu o público com piadas sobre a origem da vida e os genitais de seu pai, mas o choque veio quando disse que queria adotar uma criança “retardada”. A palavra por si só deixou muita gente atônita, apesar da platéia do TED parecer sempre super liberal, e Sarah ainda repetiu muitas vezes ao longo da curta apresentação.

Muitos riram das piadas e aplaudiram no final, mas mais da metade não entendeu o ponto da comediante, segundo relata a CNN. Sarah Silverman estava tentando ridicularizar o argumento da provavelmente candidata republicana à presidência dos EUA em 2012, Sarah Palin, que disse que a palavra “retardado(a)” nunca deve ser usada.

Chris Anderson, organizador e curador do TED, criticou Sarah Silverman em seu Twitter, dizendo que “sabe que não deveria falar mal de um de seus palestrantes, mas que a apresentação de Sarah Silverman foi horrorosa.” Mais tarde ele apagou o próprio tweet, não sem antes levar uma resposta, também via Twitter.

TED Sarah Silverman

Anderson amenizou o discurso em seu Posterous, dizendo que ela apenas deveria ter tirado as “partes mais fortes” de sua apresentação, e ela prometeu colaborar com uma ONG de apoio a crianças com síndrome de Down.

Polêmica controlada, mas Sarah Silverman ainda precisa vender seu programa na TV. O comercial abaixo, produzido pela Hungry Man, promove a série e nos deixa com a pergunta feita pela CNN (e respondida pela própria comediante): O que ofende Sarah Silverman?

Já a questão a ser respondida por Chris Anderson é: o vídeo com a apresentação de Sarah Silverman no TED verá a luz do dia? Nós queremos ver. No fim das contas, o episódio levantou a análise da Business Week de que o TED não morreu, mas está ficando velho.

LG permite a customização de máquinas de lavar

lg-dutch.jpg

Pode uma máquina de lavar não ser branca e comum a todas as demais existentes no mercado? Se depender da LG da Holanda, sim, será possível.

Seguindo a onda da customização concebida pela “geração conteúdo“, a LG criou um site em que é permitido criar sua própria concepção. Quem receber a maioria dos votos por customizar a máquina de lavar LG Direct Drive mais cool, vai ganhar ela e uma simbólica quantia em dinheiro, cerca de € 2.500.

Explorar a criatividade dos consumidores e novos meios de inovar no design sóbrio deste eletrodoméstico pode colocar a marca e esta sua nova linha em um lugar de destaque no mercado.

Lazy Ad Students Crowdsource Their Books

Seriously? You go to ad school. You drop out (lazy? flunked? too expensive?) to finish your books on your own. When you can’t, you ask the ad industry to crowdsource it for you.

What We Can Learn From the Olympics


In the advertising business, we take similar approaches to winning business: for a pitch, we practice, practice, practice. And then we do our thing in front of the client (the equivalent of the Olympics judges).

Olympics Take Gold Again


MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — Is skiing catching up with skating as viewers' favorite Winter Olympic sport? It may be too early to tell, because next week will have Vancouver's marquee matchup, the women's individual figure skating competition. But this week it's been notable that Wednesday's coverage, which was highlighted by Lindsey Vonn's velocity down the scary ski hill at Whistler, was higher rated than both Tuesday and Thursday, which relied more on men's figure skating.
