Anubhav Knife Store by Eleven Brand Works

Anubhav Khatri came to us with the usual client problem. ‘I want instant fame for my store but I don’t have any money.’ Given that it was a specialized knives store, we told him to not do advertising. Rather spend some money on a unique set of visiting cards, which will work as advertising for him. We presented him with the idea of visiting cards made to look like impossibly thin fruit/vegetable slices. So that , the cards would give a tactile experience of the quality of knives he was selling. A specialized store suddenly became known to a wider community and now Anubhav bBhai’s shop is the place to buy quality knives from in Agra.

Why the Big, Bad Broadcast Upfronts Still Matter


While it can be invigorating to declare the upfronts anachronistic, obsolete or dead, you could easily argue the opposite: that they’re more important, wanted — indeed needed — than ever.

First, let’s make the distinction between the big party and the actual negotiation for advertising dollars. This week’s broadcast-TV upfronts will have both, in spades. Audience fragmentation is the new normal, but broadcast still aggregates the biggest crowds. And after these big parties are over, possibly as few as 40 people from the networks, agencies and brands will go into backrooms and decide how $9 billion of the $62 billion U.S. TV ad market will be spent next year.

Agency folk love to complain about upfronts: there are too many; they’re not real if there’s no negotiation; they’re a waste of time and energy, etc, etc. But rather than listen, watch what they do. This is the time of year when the most powerful ad execs in the nation stand in line — line! — to get into Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center to hear the pitch, see the clips and laugh along with the stars.

What Happens Next in Media? 9 Predictions


1. Google CEO Larry Page will rethink default privacy settings for Google Glass after embarrassing Google Glass video footage of him pleasuring himself — by Googling himself (Larry Page net worth, Larry Page private jet …) — leaks to Valleywag.

2. In the wake of President Obama’s joke at the recent White House Correspondents’ Dinner about the rise of BuzzFeed as a media phenomenon — “I remember when BuzzFeed was just something I did in college around 2 a.m.” — congressional Republicans will launch a formal investigation into exactly what post-toke munchies Obama consumed at Columbia and Harvard (chips? candy bars? day-old pizza?) in an attempt to get him in trouble with first lady Michelle Obama, who is famously an advocate for a healthful diet.

Why Les Moonves Doesn’t Care If You Don’t Think CBS Is Sexy


There’s not much CBS head honcho Leslie Moonves loses sleep over: not viewer fragmentation; not Aereo, or Dish Network’s Hopper; not “The Walking Dead,” “Duck Dynasty” or “House of Cards.”

CBS is entering the upfronts — the time when TV networks secure advertising dollars for the fall season — in a strong position. Not only is it No. 1 in total viewers, a title the network has held 10 of the past 11 years; it’s also No.1 among adults 25 to 54 and the most-watched among the advertiser-coveted 18-to-49 demographic for the first time since the 1991-92 season.

Even so, it’s impressive that Mr. Moonves doesn’t break a sweat when he insists CBS will parlay that reach into high-single to low-double-digit percent increases in cost-per-thousand rates from advertisers this year.

Over Half of Agency Compensation Deals Involve Pay-for-Performance


Bryan Wiener calls them “perverse.” Scott Chapman thinks they can be flawed. And Harris Diamond is a “strong believer” in the concept.

Several of McCann WorldGroup’s clients have implemented such arrangements and Harris Diamond, the agency’s chairman-CEO, says he thinks more will follow.

“I’m a strong believer in incentivization,” he said. “The issue is the definition. Is it a true incentivization? It has to have a shared-reward aspect — it can’t be just to get back to where you were on basic costs. These contracts require a lot of thought on both sides, and not all clients are willing to take that risk and maybe have to pay us more, so sometimes the talks go nowhere.”

Nutrience Original: Kabang

An unwanted mongrel was looking for shelter. A humble couple gave it a home. And the mangy dog they saved paid up. She used her own face to stop a motorcycle from crushing the couple’s little girl. Kabang recovered. Still the ever vigilant dog, all heart with only half a face. Somehow, our product concept celebrates dog virtues that at times we find greater than what the best of us can give.

Nutrience Original: Stubby

The Western Front saw fur and four legs in action. A wet nose saved an entire regiment from blinding gas attacks and German spies. Slobbering became the comfort of the wounded. In all 17 battles, Sergeant Stubby made front page during World War I. Deserving no less than the Purple Heart, we can only honor courage not with K-rations but with sincerity, science and awe combined.

Nutrience Original: Hachiko

At a train station, Hachiko waited for his master to be back from work. He kept on even after the man’s death, rain or terrible snow, for 9 years until the faithful Akita waited his last. This is just one of the many canine deeds when a man’s greatness falls short of a dog’s goodness. To painstakingly come out with a really good doggie meal is one small way of giving back.
