Time Out magazine has delayed distribution of this week’s magazine after hundreds of thousands of copies perished in a warehouse fire yesterday.
Well, this is certainly news to us but it looks like the story unfolded as of Memorial Day weekend. Anyhow, in case you haven’t heard, Nick Drake, who’s spent the last four years at TBWA\Chiat\Day LA and the last two-and-a-half serving as its worldwide managing director, is leaving the agency to assume the chief marketing officer position at apparel/footwear brand, Quiksilver. According to the latter company, which is also based in SoCal, Drake will be joining up as CMO effective July 1. From what sources tell us, though, Drake is for the moment still at Chiat LA, where as worldwide MD, he’s responsible for Gatorade, Adidas, Visa and the agency’s content studio, Let There Be Dragons, which he co-founded.
We’re waiting to get some clarification on if there are immediate plans to replace Drake and when his last day at TBWA C\D LA actually. Prior to joining said agency, the exec worked on the client-side for Adidas in Amsterdam, where he served as a global marketing head for the brand.

Publishers are heading into summer optimistic about a housing recovery that’s restoring confidence — and spending — to advertisers in the home category.
Last week, Standard & Poor’s Case-Shiller home-price index posted its biggest gains in seven years. Other indicators, such as building permits and new and existing home sales, are also showing promise. “The boost in spending from the house category has been new,” said Lucy Schmidt, print director at media-buying agency Empower MediaMarketing. “That’s a direct reflection of the housing market.”
Ad pages in the national shelter-magazine category climbed 7.2% in the second quarter, buoyed by an 8.7% increase in June issues over the year prior, driving year-to-date growth of 6%, according to the Media Industry Newsletter. Monthly magazines overall saw ad pages drop 0.9% in the second quarter, following a flat first quarter, MIN’s data show.

Oakley is a powerful brand in the eyewear and sports-performance arenas, but it’s long been seen as a bit of a boys club.
The 38-year-old brand “shrinked it and pinked it” in 2005 when it launched apparel and sunglass collections for women, conceded Josée Perreault, Oakley’s senior VP-global business and the brand’s highest-ranking female executive. “Companies don’t think about the special needs females have. It’s a trap that male-dominant companies fall into. We’re totally [past that] — though there’s still some pink in our collection.”
As part of the brand’s effort to boost its women’s business, Oakley has improved its designs, placed more women in leadership roles, launched women-specific ad campaigns and started an education program dubbed “Female Speak” in stores.

Foursquare has traditionally been a way for customers to promote their favorite bars, coffee shops and restaurants. Now, those shops will be able to promote themselves to consumers.
The four-year-old mobile app company has started allowing a “handful” of local New York City merchants to promote their store listings within the service, meaning they will be able to target Foursquare users in the vicinity. Until recently, promoted listings were limited to large national merchants such as KFC and Radioshack.
It’s the first time Foursquare has generated revenue from small businesses and a foray into the fast-growing local mobile ad market, estimated at $1.2 billion in 2012 according to BIA/Kelsey.

Using an innovative printing technique, we created the world’s first miracle on a drink coaster. We partnered with restaurants to distribute special coasters whenever a customer ordered a cold drink. At first glance, they looked like ordinary, plain coasters. But after condensation from the cold drink began to drip down, the message became clear. People who saw the coasters instantly understood that these unnoticed few drops could mean life for those living in arid regions and were encouraged to take action to help.
