Frech Chef Sleeps Over, First World Problems Discussed

reaction_feed.jpg

– During Creative Week, DDB CCO Matt Eastwood and Waterislive.com ECD Kristine Bender will discuss First World Problems. No, really. That’s what the press release said.

– BuzzFeed has introduced a “reaction cam” button at the bottom of posts sponsored by Starbucks and non-sponsored posts deemed “safe for work” that will create and share a three-second animated GIF of visitors’ faces as they react.

5 steps for effective mobile banner ad design.

– Mobile traffic and revenue trending up according to survey.

– It’s a headline grab from 2006, but Business Insider has done a nice job rehashing Abercrombie and Fitch’s hatred of fat people.

– Yet another gross reason to quit smoking.

– Does anyone really want a strange French chef to sleep over? Pasta Garofalo thinks some people do.

Adrants Seeks Sales Representation

sales_rep_me.jpg

Pointless stock photo

We are looking for ad sales representation. To be clear right up front, this isn’t a call for every last ad network on the planet to contant us to let us know you can deliver us really, really high CPMs (which we all know is crap). No, we are looking for actual humans who can convey the gist of Adrants to the marketing and advertising community and sell event sponsorships, content sponsorships, native advertising placements (woo-hoo!), dedicated email whitepeper/webinar promotions, social media programs and any other cool stuff we come up with together.

If you are interested or know someone who might be, have them contact Steve Hall at sales@adrants.com.

And now the bad news. This will likely be a commission only gig. Hey, we’re pretty awesome but we aren’t Advertising Age and we don’t have their coffers. But if you’re game and up for creating awesomeness for an awesome advertising site, we’d love to chat.

Nissan Promotes Self-Healing Paint with Self-Healing iPad Ad


TBWA/G1 Paris promotes Nissan’s “self-healing paint,” a technology pioneered by the automotive brand that makes the car essentially scratch-proof, with this inventive iPad ad that appeared in The Economist.

The ad uses the natural side-swiping motion of tablet users to make its point. When it appears amidst the pages of the magazine, swipes create “scratches” on the body of the car, which then heal themselves.
