Media Decoder Blog: The Breakfast Meeting: Rethinking the Nook and Woodward vs. the White House

Barnes & Noble rethinks the Nook’s priorities, Bob Woodward’s clash with the White House may have been blown out of proportion and a Chrysler commercial creates synergy between Motown and Broadway.

AC/DC. Ou antes da cerveja e depois da cerveja.

A frase clássica é sexo, drogas e rock and roll. Mas ninguém estranharia se no meio da combinação também aparecesse algum tipo de bebida.

É só pegar a lista de exigências de qualquer bandinha pra ver: tem sempre algum whisky, vodka ou cerveja (quando não são todos juntos) incluídos. E já que eles andam sempre juntos, por que não oficializar logo a união?

Claro, a ideia é tão óbvia que muita gente já pensou nisso. Seguindo os passos da Bastard Lager do Motorhead, e da Kiss Destroyer, para citar só alguns, o AC/DC acaba de ganhar a sua própria cerveja: AC/DC Beer

“German Beer. Australian hardrock”, como diz o conceito. Agora é só escolher a trilha certa para beber a sua. Como os próprios caras do AC/DC já disseram muito bem, eu iria de “Have a drink on me”.

Idiotic American Ad Critic Gets Metrics Lesson From Carlsberg

carlsberg_uncompromisingly_slim.png

Here’s a simple concept. Beer cans sweat when removed from the refrigerator. When they sweat, condensation forms on the outside of the can. When condensation forms, droplets of water form. When droplets of water form, gravity takes over and the droplets slide down the side of the can.

When droplets of water form and slide down the side of the can, creatives at M&C Saatchi Stockholm get busy making an ad for Carlsberg 33cl which, by the way, is not 33 calories. It’s 33 centiliters which is 11.16 ounces. I’m not even going to tell you the shame my non-metric American brain experienced coming to that conclusion.

And Now, Your Weekly Video Miscellany

Make way, the internet videos are here! It’s been a hell of a week for advertising, with Oreo and Audi taking top spots and then a random chocolatier taking CGI to the next level. Lots of taking these days. How about some giving? Like the gift of code. Or you could just watch a guy juggle and solve a Rubik’s Cube simultaneously.

5. Audrey Hepburn. So hot right now. At least, in this Galaxy Chocolate spot, she looks amazing. Not only that, the spot perfectly captures the kind of person the world knew her to be – beautiful and whip smart, never to be taken advantage of. Also she looks straight-up real. 202,899 make this clip far from viral, but still worth checking out.

4. Sir Ravi the Juggler can juggle while solving a Rubik’s Cube. Really no other way to set this one up. At 714,493, Ravi’s nearly a YouTube star, though really he should be president of the planet.

Campbell Mithun Solicits ‘Lucky 13? To Find Cream Filling

Since 2006, Minneapolis-based Campbell Mithun has rolled out their annual “Lucky 13″ search for summer interns. We covered last year’s application, oddly enough, on Friday the 13th. We don’t have any voodoo magic this year, but it is 2013, so this year’s hunt for interns still gets to take on some added numerical significance.

Applicants must be college students or recent graduates interested in becoming future agency staffers who will write spiteful comments on AgencySpy message boards that put down any agency’s work that is not their own. I kid…

Campbell Mithun is focusing the 2013 campaign on Twinkies–a former client–because Hostess filed for bankruptcy and plans to auction off their brands in the coming weeks. Future interns have to create pitches for Twinkies that may not only land them a summer job, but also revive old business for the agency. High stakes, probably low pay, (great?) experience–sums up internships quite neatly. Check out the full requirements at the program website.

Procura-se animais perdidos em Nova York

Em Nova York, tudo é possível. Um golfinho ficar entalado em um canal do Brooklyn, uma serpente circular pelo Bronx, um crocodilo fugir do Central Park – onde também já se perdeu um coyote… Isso só para citar alguns casos. Daí que Thomas Wilder, designer da mgmt., ficou sabendo destas histórias e resolveu criar uma série de cartazes de “procura-se” mostrando oito animais perdidos na cidade nos últimos 10 anos. As ilustrações ficaram bem legais, uma pena que não consegui encontrar as imagens em tamanho maior. Mas vale o registro.

What Drives Ad-Agency CEOs Crazy


We all know the stereotype. Agency leaders focus on the big-picture stuff: strategy, financial planning, negotiations, salesmanship, creative decisions and really important lunches. Who can fault them if they’re not on top of all the day-to-day details?

While the myth may be that presidents and CEOs operate at the highest level, that’s not what I’ve observed. Good leaders still get immersed in the details, the nitty-gritty of running the business. They may not all pay attention to the same details, and to the same degree, but they have got their hands in the dirt with everyone else.

That also means, that just like the rest of us, they have got their own obsessions and pet peeves. It can’t be helped. For some it may be office decor, down to what’s on the walls and floor. Others may obsess about meeting etiquette, or hospitality, or exactly how the phone is answered.
