Welcome to the New Red Bull Studios

After battling several “international adversaries” as we’ve been told, Dutch digital shops Momkai was tapped to create a new visual identity and website for Red Bull Studios, which spans a network of ten recording studios from L.A. to New York to London to Auckland. The end results of Momkai’s efforts can be found in the case study clips above and below. The goal of this project for Red Bull, which is based in Austria (news to us), is to give the brand’s studios some digital uplift while helping support creative talent and introducing visitors to both known and unknown artists. Well, it sure beats the hell out the spots we’ve been jamming and practicing at over the years.

And Now, a Heartwarming Exchange Between an Agency Prez & CCO

This actually happened a few days ago, but we figured a good warming of the cockles was in order to kick off yet another work week. If you haven’t heard, Martin Agency president Mike Hughes has been battling cancer for some time now and began documenting what he’s going through under hospice care via his blog, “Unfinished Thinking (and now there’s a sister blog as well). Well, weeks after his writing commenced, his agency, led by chief creative officer Joe Alexander, sent some love back his way via the tribute site, “We All Love Mike.”

Well, the fond reciprocation has continued as of last week as Alexander sent this note to Hughes that perhaps provides a glimpse into their relationship and perhaps the culture at Martin:  ”Last year, I approached the St. Paul School Board about a scholarship in my dad’s name. He was a lifelong educator in St. Paul and really felt teaching was his “calling.” They loved the idea and I’m happy to say we have a first winner. It’s an annual award that will be given to a minority male graduating senior who has committed to majoring in education in college. Just thrilled about this. Wanted to share with you because I know how much you love this kind of stuff – and yeah – I love impressing you, too. That never gets old. Love you, Joe”

As one tipster says, “How many President-CCO relationships in advertising include promoting one’s charitable work, smiley face emoticons and telling each other I love you? Not enough.” Can’t say we disagree.

NewFronts Drew Crowds, But Will Anyone Remember the Shows?


That AOL set its NewFront in the old Farley Post Office on the west side of Manhattan is as much about symbolism as it is about size. The unfinished, hulking space inside Doric columns is going through a transition from massive U.S. mail terminal to supermodern Moynihan Station.

It’s not unlike the media’s shift.

Last week the dozen participants in the NewFronts unveiled more than 100 “shows” in hopes of convincing advertisers and agencies that they’re a real alternative to advertising on TV. But a couple of questions linger: After the dust settles and all these series are floated into a digital abyss, will anyone remember them? Or, more important, will they serve their intended purpose, which is to transfer a piece of the $74 billion U.S. TV market to video?
