Apple’s Advertising on the Upswing Again With New iPhone5 Spot


Apple’s new 60-second TV commercial for the iPhone 5 is a return to form, the sort of spot that Steve Jobs would have loved.

The commercial focuses on the iPhone’s camera and how it’s used to document lives, with users taking pictures with friends, snapping food at restaurants, and recording vacations. It’s more touching than recent spots, though it closes with a bold claim, stating: “Every day, more photos are taken with the iPhone than any other camera.” (Not any other smartphone, but any other camera.)

Innocence Returns in Coke’s Story of Young Love

coke_young_love.png

Fitzgerald and Co. has created a beautifully innocent commercial for Coke which will air during the NBA playoffs. The spot, which follows the growing closeness of two teens as they spend the day together at an amusement park, is a welcome return to a time when simply spending time with one another was enough.

There’s never a knowing wink or hint of anything more than the wonder of budding young love. It’s almost shocking in this day and age of instant gratification and a certain rush to grow up before one has even had a chance to experience childhood.

Thank you, Coke. Thanks you, Fitzgerald and Co.

Nathan Sorrell, Overweight Jogger From Famous Nike Ad, Loses 32 Pounds

Nathan Sorrell, the heavy kid from Nike's infamous "Jogger" ad by Wieden + Kennedy, has lost 32 pounds since last summer—and plans to lose 30 more. The London, Ohio, native, now 13, returned to the Today show recently and reflected on what motivated him to follow through on a promise he made after the Nike shoot. "I still can't believe that was me then, and this is me now. It just looks a lot different," he says. "I would never have changed my lifestyle if I was never in this commercial. That's not the only reason, but that really did help." Sorrell has been working with a personal trainer and a nutritionist and making healthier choices generally, which has helped him drop from 232 to 200 pounds. On a recent visit to Bob Evans, "I got a turkey sandwich" and a side of fruit, he says. "Usually that would be a double hamburger, cheese and all that bad stuff. Usually, it would be fries. Just stuff like that. Just little changes, but that's obviously carrying me 32 pounds less."

    

Dove’s Got a New Viral Video, but Is It Enough to Sell Soap?


Dove has rekindled excitement around its Campaign for Real Beauty with a three-minute video entitled “Sketches.” In it, a forensic sketch artist draws images of women, seated behind a curtain, who describe themselves by responding to the sketch artist’s questions. Then an acquaintance is asked to describe the same women to the artist, and the two sketches are compared. Invariably, the self-described sketch portrays a much less attractive woman. As the sketches are revealed to the participants, the artist asks suggestively, “Are you more beautiful than you think?” to which the teary-eyed respondents, reply in the affirmative.

The short film is beautifully shot and expertly edited. From the advertising point of view, two questions surfaced for me after seeing it: 1) Will this message of “You are more beautiful than you think” resonate with people and be associated with the core values of the Dove brand? and 2) Will this advertisement sell Dove’s soap?

For the fun of it, I had some quick-and-dirty qualitative research done around the “Sketches” video. The respondents were 100 women chosen randomly on the streets of Manhattan. It’s hardly a definitive sample, I know, but with interesting responses nonetheless. Following are the questions they were asked, their answers and my interpretation.

Google Chrome’s Ad With Stewie From Family Guy Is Super Irritating

Stewie Griffin, the 1-year-old prodigy from Family Guy, is a lovable character, but man can he get annoying. In this 15-second spot from 72andSunny for Google Chrome, he proves just that. "Mom! Mom! Mommy! Ma!" he cries, as Lois stares off in a tormented haze. Ah, the gifts of parenthood. The spot makes its point, though. Google Chrome can't stop you from being interrupted, but it can let you pick up where you left off. What is it with Stewie being so repetitive in commercials? Now, someone please find Rupert so Stewie can finally shut up.

Lifestyle Brands That Totally Get Content

Lifestyle Brands That Totally Get Content

Content marketing is not new. It's been an integral part of marketing communications since John Deere created "The Furrow," a magazine for farmers in the late 19th century. Now with a decided re-emphasis on content today, some brands are blazing new trails while others continue to miss the point entirely. This list honors the former.

    Are You Down With This Concept Yet? Media Is A Marketing Service.

    Every company is a media company. No, that meme is incomplete and out of date. This is longer but more accurate: Every company needs media, a.k.a. brand storytelling to create and sustain long-term interest among key constituents.

    Whichever angle you prefer, the need for media, a.k.a. content marketing, is a given. The question is “How the hell do we do this?”

    For PepsiCo’s Mountain Dew brand, the answer is we outsource content production to a media company.

    MTNDEW_Green Label

    According to Stuart Elliott of The Times, Complex Media — publisher of Complex.com, Do Androids Dance, Four Pins, Nice Kicks and Sneaker Report — can now add Green-Label.com, to its list of titles and Mountain Dew to its list of clients.

    Score another one for the media companies. This is work that could be done by an agency — an agency with journalists on staff. But no.

    Elliott helps puts the project into historical (and modern day) context:

    Green-Label.com will be billed by Complex Media as “presented by Mountain Dew,” echoing an earlier era of content marketing in which radio and television shows were “brought to you by” sponsors’ brands. Other Web sites in the same vein carry similar designations; for instance, The Adrenalist has articles about adventure sports that are sponsored by the Degree Men antiperspirants sold by Unilever.

    I wonder, will Mountain Dew’s Green-Label.com compete with the best media in existence? The new online magazine covers action sports, style, art and music. That’s a crowded field and it won’t be easy to gain traction. Regardless, my contention is a brand like Mountain Dew can compete, because it has the money to compete. Of course, money alone won’t get the job done. The brand team also needs vision, taste and patience to get it right.

    I might add that American Express gets it right with their two newsstand titles, Food & Wine and Travel & Leisure. Red Bull gets it right with RedBulletin.

    There’s a lot of room for growth and for greatness here.
