Martin Agency Cuts Some Staff

We’ve been yelled at all week on the Spy line about not updating what’s going on with cuts at the Martin Agency, so here you go. An agency spokesperson has confirmed that as of today, Martin’s Richmond, VA HQ has let go of 13 staffers (or two percent) of its workforce across departments.

As a result of Martin Agency’s move, the total staff count across Richmond and its NY outpost has decreased from 524 to 511. While not quite as severe as the six percent reduction last year, we’ve been told that this latest round is due to various things including clients cutting back, switching skill sets, etc. From what we’ve been told, the Martin camp is offering those affected by this week’s cuts severance, outplacement services and even an offer to pay the agency they’re interviewing with half of their first month’s salary, up to $4,000, if said agency picks them up in the next 30 days.

Facebook Agency Brand Networks Raises $68M From Private-Equity Firm


In a deal that hearkens back to the heady days of 2011 when venture capitalists were pouring money into social-marketing startups, an under-the-radar Facebook marketing firm called Brand Networks has just raised $68 million.

The Boston-based company’s narrative is different from a crop of startups it came of age with like Buddy Media, Vitrue and Wildfire, which were acquired last year for nine-figure sums. Founded in 2007, Brand Networks was bootstrapped, and the $68 million investment from AEA Investors, a private-equity firm, marks the first time it’s raised capital.

Brand Networks is in the business of helping brands with their Facebook presence; it builds apps, facilitates publishing (which it now does for Twitter and Tumblr as well), provides analytics, and enables ad buying through Facebook's API. Brand Networks is a Facebook "strategic preferred marketing developer," a designation it's currently applied to 13 companies that are "driving outstanding positive impact in our marketing developer ecosystem."

Coca-Cola distribui garrafa feita de gelo em ação promocional

A lata que se divide ao meio para ser compartilhada fez sucesso, e lá na Colômbia outra embalagem promocional chamou atenção durante o verão.

Garrafas feita de gelo foram distribuídas na praia, apenas com uma espécie de pulseira servindo de invólucro para ser possível segurar sem “queimar” a mão. A intenção era manter o refrigerante gelado até o fim.

No vídeo a Coca-Cola ainda fala em embalagem sustentável, já que ela “desaparece”, mas tem gente reclamando do gasto de água.

Mapa interativo mostra todos os locais mencionados nas músicas do Bob Dylan

No final de Maio a Slate Magazine comemorou o 72º aniversário de Bob Dylan lançando um mapa interativo, o Bob Dylan’s World, que contempla todos os locais já mencionados nas canções do artista, tornando-as geolocais.

Ao cliclar em cada pin, é possível ver à qual música aquele lugar se refere. O usuário tem acesso não apenas à letra, mas ao nome da música e informações sobre o álbum, além de poder ouví-la através do Spotify.

O mapa inclui músicas como a que Dylan escreveu para Johnny Cash, citando Ohio, além muitas outras espalhadas por todos os continentes. O Brasil é citado na música Union Sundown.

“A música de Bob Dylan acontece num mundo próprio, percorrendo estradas, esquinas e bares à quilômetros de distância de casa, mas sempre em lugares comuns a todos.” – Slate Magazine

O projeto evidencia como Dylan canta sobre o nosso mundo, mencionando lugares com que as pessoas se identificam. As cidades e seus espaços se tornam personagens, caracterizando não só a vida de Dylan mas nossas próprias relações  com os lugares por onde vivemos e passamos. Lugares percebidos não apenas com os sentidos, mas de fato vivenciados, ao nos projetarmos neles e nos ligarmos a eles por laços emocionais.

Bob Dylan’s World reconstrói o mundo com base em experiências e ideias de um ídolo, agora tangíveis, nos fazendo aprender a olhar de novas formas o mapa em que vivemos.

We Need Quality Time From Viewers, Not Just a Quick ‘Share’


Shane Snow

In the last two years, the forward thinkers in Internet marketing have gently (and thankfully) shrugged off SEO as the primary audience-building tactic, in favor of branded content — the practice of publishing stories, status updates and other media to attract people to a brand via social and e-mail. Many major publishers receive the majority of day-to-day traffic from sites like Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and e-mail, where individuals, eager to impress our own audiences, share millions of pieces of content every minute. As such, many have declared "shareability" the superior measure of a good Internet marketing campaign. Myself included.
