Braincast 57 – Profissão: Social Media

Na última década vimos a forma de se relacionar (usando diversas plataformas sociais) alterar por completo o manual de etiqueta e comportamento de todo mercado. Sejam agências, clientes ou mesmo profissionais, todos foram sugados para dentro de um novo universo, cheio de possibilidades e que, por estar em constante transformação, continua nos ensinando e surpreendendo dia após dia.

No começo esse profissional atuava sozinho. Hoje se transformou em equipe. Em agência especializada. E justamente por saber que esse é só o começo, Saulo Mileti, Guga Mafra, Luiz Yassuda e Gabi Bianco conversam sobre essa área em constante expansão no Braincast 57.

iCrossing Cuts Some Staff

Sources familiar with the matter confirm that Hearst-owned digital agency iCrossing has cut some staff in its New York headquarters. From what we’ve been told, six people across departments were let go last week as part of “a realignment of skills based on client needs.” This in turn accounts for less than one percent of the agency’s 900+ staffers across 18 global offices (the Salt Lake City branch, if you recall, closed earlier this year).

Among those cut were Tarah Feinberg, who’s still listed in the “People” section of the iCrossing site and has served as head of its Live Media Studio unit, as well as Rachel Pasqua, who’s had two stints at the agency, spending six years in all serving as VP, mobile. As for Feinberg (pictured), the now-former senior director at iCrossing spent a couple of years serving as VP/executive director at Big Fuel prior to joining the former agency.

Relax, Mozilla’s Move Will Not Break the Ad-Supported Internet


Mozilla’s announcement that the next version of Firefox, expected to go live in the near future, will include default third-party-cookie restrictions hit the ad industry like a thunderclap. Industry responses from across the board were cast in extreme terms, ranging from”nuclear” allusions to forecasting economic doom for the industry. Let me be clear, in spite of the rhetoric, Mozilla’s decision will not break the Internet.

Third-party cookies have long been considered one of the most complicated pieces of the digital advertising puzzle. Consumers are increasingly aware of the privacy issues surrounding third-party cookies. Mozilla, meanwhile, has simply taken the matter into its own hands — as Apple has done with Safari for the past decade — by offering a market-based solution, the success of which will be determined by the consumer.

In its decision to block third-party cookies by default, Mozilla is differentiating between sites that have direct relationships with consumers and those that don’t — which is more likely to meet with users’ expectations. Ultimately this is about fostering a healthy environment where consumers feel safe online. It’s hard to dispute that without this baseline acknowledgement of consumers’ expectations, our entire ecosystem will be compromised.

Watch the Trailer for ‘iSteve,’ the Steve Jobs Biopic Starring ‘Mac Guy’ Justin Long


Feeling heartbroken that the release of Steve Jobs biopic “Jobs” (formerly “jOBS”) has been pushed back from April 19 to a date still unknown? Here’s something to tide you over: the just-released trailer for “iSteve,” the forthcoming Steve Jobs movie from Funny or Die.

The full “iSteve,” starring Justin Long (or JUSTiN LONG, as his name is rendered on screen), is due to be released online April 15 and to run roughly an hour. Long, of course, is the “Mac Guy” from Apple’s long-running “Get a Mac” spots.

The trailer is everything you’d hope it would be: cheesy, cliched, breathless, overwrought, overheated.

Check Out MLB’s Best Opening Day Marketing Stunt


The winner of Major League Baseball’s best Opening Day marketing stunt goes to… the Los Angeles Dodgers, for their celebrity-filled video introducing surprise guest Sandy Koufax.

New part-owner Magic Johnson, the former Los Angeles Lakers superstar, generated instant buzz for his club by recruiting the reclusive pitching legend to throw out the first pitch of the Dodgers’ 4-0 victory over the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants Monday at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

No sport does nostalgia and tradition as well as baseball. Mr. Johnson, a long-time athletic endorser on Madison Avenue, orchestrated Mr. Koufax’s appearance with the kind of stage-management that would make Don Draper proud.

Meet Sully, Corona Light’s Absurd and Amusing Spokes-Sheep

You remember Sully. He was the odd talking sheep in last year's brilliant "Stan" commercial for Corona Light, from director Mike Mills and ad agency Goodby, Silverstein & Partners. Well, it appears Sully's brief taste of fame went to his woolly head—because now he's bleated his way into a starring role in this year's Corona Light campaign. Four new :15s directed by Larry Charles (Seinfeld, Entourage, Curb Your Enthusiasm) went live online Monday, and will reach broadcast on April 15. The theme is, "Ditch the herd," and in the first spot, Sully does just that—rising up from the pack, suddenly bipedal, and giving his buddies a quick "Adios!" as he scoots away. In three other spots, Sully learns the fine arts of sports watching, hunting and guitar playing, only one of which really goes well. The ads are amusingly absurd, more lowbrow than last year's artfully designed work but still fun. Sully, of course, is also on Twitter.

"After the sheep garnered considerable attention on YouTube, we thought it would be funny, to spin the sheep out, and follow him as he started to do things differently. Thus this symbol of sameness became the face of change," says Goodby creative director Adam Reeves. Adds Jim Sabia, CMO at Crown Imports: "We have found that Corona Light's target consumer—the 21- to 29-year-old college-educated beer drinker—is craving to switch things up with a light beer that's different from the same old same old. The sheep's ability to serve as a spokesperson for what Corona Light stands for really got us excited about this campaign."

SMG to Track How Mobile Ads Lead to In-store Visits


Starcom MediaVest Group has partnered with New York City-based startup PlaceIQ to unlock mobile marketing’s great mystery: when someone shown a mobile banner ad is enticed to walk into a store.

The metric, which PlaceIQ calls Place Visit Rate, uses location data to illustrate what percentage of customers served a mobile banner ad for a retailer subsequently visited one of that retailer’s stores.

PlaceIQ conducted a case study on the technology for one of SMG’s retail clients that showed a correlation between customers being a shown an ad and ending up in store. Neither PlaceIQ or SMG would disclose which retailer was involved. SMG’s retail clients include Best Buy and Walmart.

Kellogg’s Rice Krispies: Days Out

Kellogg’s Rice Krispies’ new promotion campaign depicts the relationship between a young girl and her mother. Entitled ‘Days Out’, the heart-warming ad, created by Leo Burnett, shows the girl tirelessly wrapping up gifts for her mother. When the mother sees one is a box of Rice Krispies with a free voucher to Legoland, the girl breaks into laughter, and they share a beautiful moment together.

The South African song was composed by Mcasso’s MD Mike Connaris and recorded at both Angel Studios and Mcasso’s Studios in Carnaby Street. Mike brought together two Zulu groups to create a stunning sound, with the South African Zulu choir providing the backing vocals, and Siya from Zulu Tradition singing the lead melody.

Ever feel like you are a slave to your partner? Like the only purpose in your life is to take orders and serve? And every day you function as a punching bag for your spouse’s nasty remarks?

Well if that’s the case, it’s probably time for a little marriage counseling. And that’s the very message in this Red Pepper-created Russian commercial which appears to be a PSA for marriage counseling. That or a funny spoof. Either way, it’s worth a watch.
