Social Networks Sink Online-Ad Pricing

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Social networks and their endlessly growing page views have dominated every sphere of the web — from audiences to ad impressions. But there's one area where they still can't seem to catch up: ad prices.

How LeBron’s Entourage Got His ‘Decision’ on ESPN


NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — By now you've heard the offense against basketball star LeBron James' one-hour TV special to announce his team choice — that it was narcissistic, sullied his brand and blurred the journalistic line for ESPN. But what you haven't heard is the defense of the man who helped put the show together: uber-agent Ari Emanuel, who says "The Decision" forwarded the paradigm for advertiser-funded programming.

Latest Crop of Plus-Size TV Aims to Win by Not Focusing on Losing


LOS ANGELES (AdAge.com) — From "The Biggest Loser" to "Dance Your Ass Off," weight-loss reality fare has ruled the airwaves for years. So it's somewhat ironic that scripted series seem to be headed in the opposite direction — several recent and new dramas are focused on plus-size characters who aren't fighting the battle of the bulge.

What Does It Take to Sell Magazines These Days?


NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — When Vanity Fair Editor in Chief Graydon Carter put Paris Hilton on the cover in 2005, a smart aleck accused him of using the heiress like "newsstand crack." Times have changed. According to a new analysis of various traits on 11,161 magazine covers between May 2006 and this April, Paris Hilton has become a cover "don't." Here, according to the analysis by GfK MRI, are a few other dos and don'ts.

“Too many clothes make you cold. Winter clothing drive You donate. We carry. Somebody receives. Agente Cidadão See how the campaign was made on www.youtube.com/agentecidadao”

This year, the Agente Cidadão, a nonprofit organization that collects clothing, objects, furniture and food, made interventions in high-density traffic streets under viaducts and bridges that are taken up as residence by homeless people. Life-size pictures of closets full with clothes were pasted up in these areas, alongside with posters of the campaign. The places became actual “living ads”, and pictures of these interactions were used in the print campaign.

Don’t self treat

Can you treat yourself better than your doctor?
Self-medication can put your life in danger. Always consume medicines only after consulting your doctor.

Millions of people in India develop various medical complications due to not consulting to a docotor / physician before consuming medicines for minor ailments. Worldwide as well, self-medication is a huge problem. Government / non-government agencies in India and other countries have not started recongnising it as a growing problem and taken up the issue on a serious note. Patil Hospital, mumbaihad organised a ‘Patient Welfare Program’for educating patients / attendants / pharmacists / para-mecical staff / general public on various issues including ‘self medication’. The poster titled ‘Self Medication’ was highly successful in catching the attention and generating awareness among them on the importance of consulting a doctor before consuming any medication. Around 5000 people attended the program that was conducted for 10 days. The poster design was recreated in the size of a pamphlet and distributed to all the visitors. People could understand the complications and complexity associated with self medication. Many of them vowed to not indulge in self medication and also encourge their friends and relatives to do the same.

Brasil lança campanha global para incentivar o turismo internacional

Brasil Turismo

Junto com o lançamento do logo da Copa 2014 e os preparativos para o evento daqui 4 anos, o Brasil lançou uma campanha global para promover o país.

De responsabilidade da Embratur e produzida pela O2 de Fernando Meirelles, a iniciativa tem o slogan “O Brasil te chama, celebre a vida aqui”. A campanha, que será exibida em mais de 100 países, será apresentada oficialmente – e com peças inéditas – nessa segunda-feira, dia 12.

O objetivo é duplicar o turismo internacional no próximo ano, e colocar o Brasil entre os 15 destinos mais importantes do mundo até 2020 – atualmente é o 41º lugar.

O primeiro filme da campanha você assiste abaixo, e que achei surpreendentemente bom. Sem apelar para os velhos clichês do carnaval (apesar da trilha sonora), da malandragem e do povo “guerreiro” daquele comercial de cerveja.

Cannavaro e Louis Vuitton na final da Copa do Mundo 2010

Cannavaro Louis Vuitton

Quando li que a taça da Copa do Mundo chegaria ao Soccer City, na final de hoje entre Holanda vs. Espanha, em uma caixa especial da Louis Vuitton, não imaginava que seria com tamanho destaque.

A Copa entrou carregada por Fábio Cannavaro, o zagueiro italiano que a levantou em 2006, e foi revelada tendo a Louis Vuitton aberta com uma chave. O breve, mas marcante evento, foi organizado pela FIFA com ideia da própria grife.

Tudo bem que logo em seguida um maluco tentou pegar a taça – e a FIFA censurou as imagens – pois logo apareceram seguranças-ninjas de algum lugar que ninguém sabe onde.
