Yediot Aharonot: History

CNN and Elle Test Google Glass as a Way to Push Content to More People


Does the future of media include breaking-news headlines materializing in front of your eyes as you walk down the street?

CNN and Elle magazine have become the second and third media brands with apps on Google Glass, following The New York Times, and all three are testing early adopters’ appetite for a constant stream of content served to them on the go. In their current form, the apps seem to follow the vein of push notifications mobile phone users get increasingly frequently from The Times and The Wall Street Journal. Unlike the apps those push notifications bring users to, however, the media brands’ Glass apps aren’t allowed to carry ads.

The revenue opportunity is currently minuscule in any case. Google Glass is still only available to a small group of people — mainly developers — who plunked down $1,500 for the privilege of beta-testing the device.

Sharpie: Uma história, duas pontas

Na temporada pré-Cannes, as campanhas impressas voltam a chamar nossa atenção. Mesmo que nunca vejam as páginas de uma revista, claro.

Essa aqui é uma boa idéia e ótima execução da Draftfcb para a Sharpie, uma caneta com duas pontas e espessuras diferentes. As peças contam as mesmas histórias, mas uma mais detalhada que a outra.

Tem a chegada do homem à Lua – que na versão em detalhes brinca com a teoria conspiratória filmada por Stanley Kubrick; a criação do Facebook por Mark Zuckerberg, com uma visão menos romântica da que foi mostrada no filme; e a festinha do príncipe Harry em Las Vegas.

A campanha assina com “One story. Two points.” Clique nas peças para ampliar.

YouTube Star Tobuscus Forced Into Making Insane Musical Ad for Hot Pockets

Stand-up comedian, actor, songwriter and noted YouTube personality Toby "Tobuscus" Turner made this fourth-wall-shattering musical ad for Hot Pockets in which he is bullied by an unseen voiceover into singing about the new Cuban Style and Spicy Beef Nacho flavors. God help us all, Spicy Beef Nacho? I can already hear my toilet crying. Anyway, the concept might not thrill you, but the execution is top notch, mostly due to Turner's facial expressions. Now I want to see him in some sort of comedy duel with Jim Gaffigan, who once compared Hot Pockets to filling a Pop Tart with nasty meat. Making this ad is like slapping Gaffigan in the face with a dueling glove.

What Do We Say When ‘Digital’ Has Lost All Meaning?


I am the CEO of a digital agency. I also chair the board of an association of digital agencies. My problem is I don’t know how to tell people what I do.

It’s not that I don’t know what I do. I just don’t know how to describe it in terms that people will understand. The problem is that the word “digital” has become obsolete. Every time I hear it or use it I cringe.

What isn’t digital these days? TV is digital, you can’t even get the old kind anymore, whatever that was. Photography is digital. The old days of film are so gone, but do you see Canon trumpeting their digital cameras? Digital vs. what? So here we are, professional marketers, and we are using a word to describe what we do that has no real meaning anymore.

Agency/Prodco Would Just Rather Be Skateboarding

Today in agency self-promos, we bring this 90-second clip from New York-based shop Rooster, which pretty much makes it clear in the brief amount of time what its first love is (its co-founder/creative director, Gavin McInness, is the co-founder of Vice and the “godfather of hipsterdom” after all).

We’re seen some pretty self-indulgent agencies patting themselves on the back clips in the past, but at least this one makes us want to revisit the ’80s flick, Gleaming the Cube, or that modern doc, Dogtown and Z-Boys. It appeases our short attention span and takes us back to the days when we scraped elbows, knees and more. So, good on ya Rooster. The shop currently works with clients including Red Bull, Qualcomm and Nissan (you might remember its recent work for the last brand starring Ryan Lochte).

Microsoft Hammers Google in Leaked Parody of a Chrome Ad

Microsoft takes a break from perfecting its blue screen of death to ape Google's ad style—abundant white space, bouncing Chrome ball, Beethoven's Fifth on the soundtrack—in this anti-Google video that was reportedly intended for internal use but was conveniently leaked to the universe just in time for Google's big I/O developers conference. Tagged with the same "Don't get Scroogled" line that Microsoft uses whenever it needles the only digital company more reviled than itself, the spot warns, "With Google Chrome, everything everywhere is tracked. To target you with ads. To monetize your personal info. … Google watches everything you do and uses it to make a profit off of you. Chrome has you commercialized." Cool. Google can trash my privacy and pick my pocket as long as there's some value added. ("Commercialized" is a good thing, right? I can always Google it and find out. See—value added!) What's Microsoft done for anyone lately? Since they took away the Windows start button, I just stare at a blank PC screen and write all my stories on a Mac. Though Google did give the world Glassholes, so I guess they're just as bad.

The original Google Chrome spot:

    

Why Facebook and Twitter Are Developing ‘Glassware’ Despite Ad Ban


Glass Explorers — Google’s term for the world’s select few Google Glass owners — will soon be able to share their experiences through platforms other than Google’s. Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter are all developing apps, or “Glassware,” for the wearable device, the companies said Thursday. So get ready for all kinds of Glass explorations in your social feeds.

The companies’ arrival on a nascent platform previously limited to apps for The New York Times and networking service Path mean Glass is getting increasingly social. But it still isn’t obviously lucrative for anyone but Google.

That’s because the company has been adamant about not allowing outside developers to serve ads in Glassware.

Symphony Orchestra Plays to Younger Demographics

It’s not a surprise that older people like classical music more than younger people. For the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra (OSB), that trend needed to be fixed. Since most of their audience is older than 65 years, the OSB started playing orchestral themes from blockbuster movies like Jaws, E.T., and Star Wars to show younger people that they had an unknown appreciation for classical music.

Rio de Janeiro agency Artplan also incorporated YouTube videos of film clips to add a visual presence to the experience. As a result, the OSB saw a 40% increase of young people in the audience. The case study gave a healthy boost to the box office draw as well: all of the orchestra’s concerts in the upcoming season are already sold out. Unfortunately, young people still like Kesha more than Wagner, but I don’t think there’s a lot that the OSB can do to remedy that. Credits after the jump.
