Coca-Cola Promotes Wendy Clark, Creates Global Sparkling BrandCenter


Coca-Cola has created a Global Sparkling Brand Center, combining its global brand and integrated marketing teams under the leadership of Wendy Clark.

According to an internal memo distributed to Coca-Cola employees by Joe Tripodi, chief marketing and commercial officer, the new structure will drive greater integration, simplicity and speed; increase the focus and impact of the team’s work on a worldwide basis; and facilitate rapid scaling and spreading of programs and ideas.

“The new structure establishes a single point of leadership accountability, increases the holistic, end-to-end thinking for building global brands and integrates teams for added speed and responsiveness,” Mr. Tripodi wrote in the memo. He noted that the Global Sparkling Brand Center is not unlike the Global Juice Center, which was established in 2008.

Building Bricks of Inspiration: Your Day 2 ADC Awards Highlights


Yes, Brianna Graves, director of content + communications for the Art Directors Club is back to provide some on-the-ground, firsthand perspective from the 92nd ADC Awards, which you probably know by now is taking place in Miami Beach in NYC. While we still suffer the cold up here in the Big Apple, let Brianna share memories from warmer climates. Yeah, we’re just jealous. If you missed her quick Day 1 recap, go here and watch the day 2 clip above.

It’s hard to define a pinnacle moment of Day Two of the ADC 92nd Annual Awards + Festival of Art and Craft in Advertising and Design simply because the energy remained so high throughout the day.

Rafaël Rozendaal surprised attendees early in the first of the two morning workshops with a presentation of work that contrasts his quiet demeanor with its absolutely outstanding ingenuity and reasoning. Rozendaal is the type of man so ahead of his time that we will all look back on this Festival from our rocking chairs in our nursing homes some day, and marvel that we hung out with and learned from Rozendaal in Miami Beach in 2013.

Beyonce Vanquishes Past Hotness in Pepsi’s ‘Live For Now’

beyonce_live_for_now.png

Which Beyonce do you like the best? Her black leotard “Single Ladies days? Her hot pants-clad Crazy in Love days? Her “Bootylicious alter ego? All of them, of course? What’s not to love about Beyonce in any form? Just ask this guy.

Working with 180LA, Beyonce can be seen in a new Pepsi commercial reliving all her past personas until she breaks through with her current, Pepsi-fueled Live For Now persona.

Of the ad, 180LA ECD William Geiner said, “Beyonce has the unbelievable ability to continuously evolve and surprise, recreating herself and her music, yet simultaneously, remaining true to who she is. ‘The ‘Mirrors’ film pays homage to all those fun and defining moments of her past, while making a clear point thatit’s who she is now that matters most.”

Whatev. We’ll take Beyonce in whatever persona she decides to embody. Preferably with short shorts though.

Grizzly Dude From ’70s Beer Ads Gets Lost, Wanders Into Modern Spot for Dr Pepper Ten

Oh, how I've longed to get away from it all and live in the woods, wild and free, with some guy in a bear suit as my only companion. The scruffy protagonist of Deutsch LA's new "Mountain Man" spot for Dr Pepper Ten is living that dream in a parody of macho '70s beer commercials that's as goofy as all outdoors. Our hero grows out his beard (itchy, most likely); eats bark off trees (not so tasty, one assumes); calls out for a hawk to fetch him an icy-cold can of the "manliest low-calorie soda in the history of mankind" (no eye-pecking—maybe next time); and gets taxied around by Mr. Bear paddling a canoe (all that fur must be hot as hell). Note to self: Order a bear suit. It commands respect, and I could stand to sweat off a few pounds. A few shorter executions plus credits after the jump.
