Cubes: VIP Tour of Huge

In this episode of Cubes, the crew takes its first trip across the East River to see the DUMBO digs of ad agency Huge. No, they don’t live in a Disney film, DUMBO is New York for “Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass,” meaning it’s in Brooklyn.

And under that Manhattan Bridge Overpass, the mediabistro crew found the Huge folks hiply ensconced in the same space where the cardboard box was invented. OK, so maybe you’re not so into the whole ‘cardboard box thing.’ You’ll most likely want to watch as the wordplay ensues with Huge Dogs, Huge copy machines named after Huge Dogs, Huge conference rooms named after celebrities who are huge but not Huge and a really cool space where Huge staffers get to do their thing.

You can view our other MediabistroTV productions on our YouTube Channel.

Starbucks, BuzzFeed Introduce Reaction-Cam to Create Animated GIFs of Your Face


If you’ve ever been so moved by a roundup of cat images on BuzzFeed that you wanted to create an animated GIF of your reaction, now is your chance.

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. Each post will feature the nine most-recent reaction-cam GIFs at the bottom, and links shared through Facebook or Twitter will take others to their friends’ animated GIFs in the comments sections.

For now users can only create the animated GIFs on a computer and not on a mobile device, though users on mobile devices will be able to see GIFs posted by other users. The sponsored reaction-cam will run until June 24.

Target Teams Up With Facebook For Deals You Can Share


Target is looking to Facebook to drive more foot-traffic in stores. The retailer is launching 700 new offers this week with a social twist: claiming them generates automatic Newsfeed posts on Facebook, unless the user turns them off.

The deals, eventually expected to balloon to about 1,000, are part of the retailer’s new digital savings program, built with Facebook and dubbed Cartwheel. The program, with the tagline “A whole new spin on saving,” launches in beta mode on Wednesday and gives consumers the opportunity to curate and share deals with friends, as well as redeem deals in store.

For now, the deals will be limited to a percentage off and will only be good in store — Target is hoping Cartwheel will serve as a traffic driver. That also allows the marketer to offer a variety of deals for groceries, which are only available in store. The program is only available in the U.S.
