Fausel Reunites with Old Colleague Vitale at PI&C

It’s been quite some time since we’ve heard from New York-based shop People Ideas & Culture, which was launched by former Lowe Worldwide chief strategy officer Domenico Vitale in early 2009. Well, after getting a couple of tips over the weekend that the shop has brought on a new president, we received confirmation from the man himself this morning that PI&C did (rather quietly) hire David Fausel to assume said position. Fausel (pictured) and Vitale’s relationship goes back nearly a decade when the pair worked together at what was then Kirshenbaum Bond + Partners, with the former serving as group account director and the latter, managing partner/head of strategy.

From what we’ve been told, Vitale’s now been focusing on branching out PI&C into other businesses and expanding into Europe. So, with Fausel coming on board, he now has someone to manage the agency’s New York hub, which currently counts 40 employees and houses a content company complete with photo studio and edit suite. PI&C’s client roster at the moment includes Mohegan Sun, Match.com and Hilton luxury hotels (specifically digital/social media content).

ABC Viewers Buy More Tissue — And Why That Matters


Want 2,000 gross rating points worth of paper-towel-brand switchers? It just got a lot easier.

Buying based on consumers’ purchases rather than their ages or genders will take a leap forward with this upfront season, as Nielsen Catalina Solutions rolls out a self-service system that lets buyers and sellers run instant analyses to understand how heavily the “Modern Family” audience is weighted with facial-tissue-brand switchers, or how reliably repeat airings of “Braveheart” deliver heavy buyers of Pop-Tarts.

Since 2010 NCS has done 1,400 such analyses with around 150 marketers, 50 agencies and 40 media companies. But the workload, expected to double this year, has outpaced what it can do on its own, said CEO Mike Nazzaro. So the joint venture of research firm Nielsen and supermarket-loyalty and data-analytics firm Catalina is launching a self-service version, AdVantics on Demand.
