Braincast 65 – PS4 vs. Xbox One

As cartas da nova geração de games já estão na mesa, ou, pelo menos, parte delas, e assim a guerra dos consoles continua. Sony e Microsoft apresentaram os sucessores do PS3 e Xbox 360, respectivamente, deixando mais perguntas do que respostas para os gamers.

Aproveitando o que foi revelado até agora, e os rumores que correm na boca pequena, o Braincast 65 debate sobre o que podemos esperar do PS4 e Xbox One. Carlos Merigo, Saulo Mileti, Laura Buu, Alexandre Maron e Cris Dias dão seus palpites, opinam sobre os eventos e declarações de ambas as empresas, e concluem: O melhor está guardado para a E3 (assim esperamos).

pitch_season_2.png

And so, tune in August 15 at 10pm to watch 16 agencies duke it out for the likes of 1-800-Flowers, Fuller Brush Company (still in business???), Gibson Guitar and, yes, College Hunks Hauling Junk.

Google+ Helps Same-Sex Couples Marry Live Online, Via Hangouts


France recently passed a seminal law legalizing gay marriage — and Google and Ogilvy Paris would like to think they had a hand in helping that happen.

Before the law was passed, Ogilvy, along with with non-profit org Tous Unis Pour L'Egalite, created the "first social same-sex marriage," getting same-sex couples in France to get married via Hangout. Presiding over the nuptials was a mayor from Belgium, where same sex marriage had already been legalized, thereby giving the marriage at least symbolic meaning.

Google Hangout's new feature, which lets 10 people get on a video call together, also let friends and family witness the moment, which was also broadcasted live on YouTube.

Baby Loves Stanton Optical Commercial

stanton_optical.png

So from time to time we get sucked into YouTube, forget why we went there in the first place and stumble upon odd content like this 2011 commercial for Stanton Optical. Actually, it’s not really a commercial at all. Rather, it’s a video of a baby watching a Stanton Optical commercial.

We all know there are commercials out there that people love and while babies can be easily amused by just about anything, it’s still funny to see a baby get worked up simply from watching a pretty basic commercial yet a commercial CEO Daniel Stanton dubs “unconventional” and the eyeglass store’s secret to success.

Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming now.

Schlage: Ex-Girlfriend

The spot opens in the lock aisle of a big box home improvement store, where a customer is deciding between a Schlage lock and a different brand. It then flashes back to a…colorful breakup between the customer and his girlfriend in a restaurant, illustrating why someone would pay a little more for the stronger, more durable Schlage lock. The campaign also launches a new tagline for the brand: “Schlage: Strong Has a Name” to reinforce brand positioning and the importance of buying a strong lock.

The 10 Most-Viral Ads of 2013 (So Far)

A forensic artist drawing a picture of a baby Clydesdale shipping its pants? Now that would be a viral commercial supernova.

Dove, Budweiser and Kmart all rank near the top of Unruly Media's just-released list of the most viral commercials of 2013 so far. Those brands are joined by Pepsi MAX, Evian, Ram Trucks and more, as Unruly celebrates the commercials with the most pass-along value through the first five months of the year. And as the numbers show, it's been a very strong year for online video, as compared to 2012.

See the full list at this link:

The 10 Most-Viral Ads of 2013 (So Far)

Unruly counts shares of videos across social media—a metric that is often at odds with sheer view counts. For example, Microsoft's "Child of the '90s" video for Internet Explorer would place fourth on this list in terms of YouTube views (with more than 34 million), but its approximately 630,000 shares are good for only ninth place.

Conversely, Kmart's "Ship My Pants" and Budweiser's "Brotherhood" spots both have fewer YouTube views than Evian's "Baby & Me" or Pepsi MAX's "Test Drive"—but they rank higher on this list because of better share rates. (The top video on the list, however, leads in both views and shares.)

We left a couple of videos from Unruly's list off this one—including the Biting Elbows music video and the Miami Heat's Harlem Shake clip—to focus on brand advertising rather than more entertainment-based content.

    

Hyundai: ix35 drive

The ad was created to support the facelift of one of Hyundai’s most loved vehicles, the ix35. Although the ix35 comes with a host of features standard, the creative team decided to focus the upgraded SUV’s rear-view parking camera. The ease and confidence with which an ix35 driver can reverse is dramatized by an epic on- and off-road adventure, which culminates in a surprise ending that isn’t too difficult to guess, after being told about the camera…

One Rude Question for Esquire Editor-in-Chief David Granger


EDITOR'S NOTE: Today Ad Age's "Media Guy" columnist Simon Dumenco kicks off our new regular mini-feature: One Rude Question For… — an excuse to lob blunt questions at assorted media, tech and marketing figures. His first victim: David Granger, the longtime editor-in-chief of Esquire magazine. Mr. Granger has been working with NBC Universal to turn its G4 channel into the Esquire Network, which will arrive this summer in 60 million homes.

Dumenco: You're a lifelong magazine guy and long-form storyteller. Now you're working with short-attention-span TV people to help launch the Esquire Network. Be honest: If you weren't bald already, would you be pulling your hair out by now?

Granger: Wait: I'm bald? I've always thought this was a lifestyle choice.
