Lessons From Ad Age’s Conference in China
Posted in: UncategorizedESPN: John Clayton
Posted in: UncategorizedOlha, eu não conhecia o John Clayton da ESPN gringa, mas desde já exijo ver um comercial do tipo com o Antero Greco, PVC, Arnaldo Ribeiro ou qualquer outro comentarista da ESPN Brasil.
A criação da Wieden+Kennedy mostra como é a vida desses profissionais depois que acaba o SportCenter.

Agency Objectifies Account Executive to Attract New Business
Posted in: UncategorizedSouthern California-based Skiver Advertising has launched a tongue-in-cheek (or cheesy, take your pick) new business effort called “Wanna Date Derek?”
The campaign, which features 28-year-old (though in the video he says 20) account executive Derek Hall, began with a billboard and extends to a website on which Derek touts his attributes. The campaign also includes a Twitter account (@WannaDateDerek) on which the 6’1″ Derek is described as “vivacious, handsome, smart, ripped” and “a kind-hearted soul.”
Of the campaign, Skiver Advertising CEO Jeremy Skiver said, “Everyone is looking for something. And that’s where we come in. We’re experts at bringing brands and their audience, and helping them build a strong, lasting and evolving relationship.”
On the site, the joke is revealed. “While Derek’s quest is epic,” the site says, “others may be searching for something more attainable.” Visitors are invited to engage Skiver Advertising which “builds brands, moves product and isn’t opposed to candlelight dinners and long walks on the beach.”
Can you imagine the reaction if they pimped a female account executive for this promotion? OK, OK, it’s all in good fun. No big deal.
Nokia diz que filmou com o Lumia, mas era equipamento profissional
Posted in: UncategorizedOntem a Nokia lançou seus novos smartphones, Lumia 920 e Lumia 820, e na mesma hora eu dei uma olhada em todos os vídeos de divulgação para ver se tinha algo digno de nota aqui para o B9. Nada de destaque, além de vinhetas promovendo funções do celular.
Porém, o The Verge descobriu uma mentira em um desses vídeos. O comercial mostra um cara filmando uma garota na bicicleta com o Lumia, e em seguida vemos o que a suposta tecnologia de estabilização de imagem do smartphone pode fazer.
Mas o que a marca não contava era que um reflexo no vidro de um trailer estacionado denunciaria toda a traquitana profissional por trás da filmagem. A Nokia reconheceu o problema, pediu desculpas e publicou um novo vídeo com demonstrações reais, alterando a descrição do comercial original.
Vale dizer que isso é mais comum do que se imagina na publicidade, por isso se vê em muitos comerciais por aí disclaimers em letras minúsculas dizendo que se trata de “simulação” de funcionalidade do produto. O problema maior nessa história da Nokia foi um descuido básico da produtora e agência.
De um jeito ou de outro, é mais um caso no ano de usuários dizendo: “Nokia, você mentiu pra mim!”

Posted in: UncategorizedCitroën: Robots Chorus
Posted in: UncategorizedA Citroën fez de seu robô dançarino um sucesso. O comercial lançado em 2005 ganhou prêmios e o reconhecimento do público. Se o YouTube tivesse audiência naquela época, pode apostar que seria um dos maiores virais do ano.
É verdade que o robô transformer teve uma sequência no ano seguinte, sem muita diferença em relação ao original, mas agora, sete anos depois, a Citroën tenta trazer de volta seu personagem.
Tinha tudo pra ser bom – com a ideia de tirar sarro dos corais tipo “We Are The World” – mas achei esquisito. Não vai longe o suficiente para ser engraçado, e supostamente deveria impressionar pelos efeitos da The Embassy.
A criação é da Agence H, de Paris.

iPhone 5 ‘Rubberband’ Feature Expands Screen to iPad Size
Posted in: UncategorizedAs we get closer and closer to the September 12 launch of the iPhone 5 and fanboy fanaticism runs amok, the rumors regarding the new phone’s features have reached fever pitch. Aatma Studios, which routinely releases predictions for yet to be released Apple products is out with very Jerry Bruckheimer-ish movie trailer-style video that celebrates some of the expected (and only dreamed for) features everyone hopes to see on September 12.
This one is worth watching full screen with the volume turned way up.
