Walmart Gets a Boost From Local Price-Comparison Ads


Walmart’s same-store sales recently slowed as the retailer took hits on sales of big-ticket items because of late tax refunds and a late spring. But the company continues to gain market share in groceries and consumables.

It can thank, in part, the hundreds of local-market-basket price-comparison ads it has running in 70 markets. The ads show Walmart shoppers comparing receipts from competitive grocery chains to the prices they could have gotten at Walmart.

While competitors have objected to the discount giant’s comparisons and asked state attorneys general to investigate in some cases, no formal probes have been launched. In an interview during Walmart’s recent shareholder meeting in Bentonville, Ark., Chief Marketing Officer Stephen Quinn outlined how Walmart thwarts legal challenges, as well as its most recent effort to target fuel discounts, a mainstay of supermarket loyalty-card programs.

Big Theme At Cannes? Do-Gooding


A train safety campaign, an organ-donor push, a pet adoption drive and a missing-children app.

In its 60th year, much of the creative work being honored at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity has circulated around a common theme: do-gooding.

McCann Melbourne’s "Dumb Ways to Die," which seeks to prevent accidents in the Australian train system, won a total of five Grand Prix awards, the highest award doled out at the festival. Out of Brazil, the "Immortal Fans" push by Ogilvy urged soccer fans to sign up to donate their organs, and thus keep their hearts beating for team even after death; it took home the Grand Prix in the Promo category. Another campaign that racked up Lions was "Driving Dogs," a puppy-adoption campaign for the SPCA by DraftFCB New Zealand, done in collaboration with MINI Cooper, which taught dogs how to operate a car. JWT China’s "Baby Back Home" app, which turned China’s citizens into search volunteers by letting them take a picture of a child and then comparing it to a missing children’s database via face-recognition technology, won a Gold Lion in the Mobile category.

Ford Ecosport: Go Further

“The ad that helps people to go further

In 2012, Ford launched the all-new EcoSport. It was the first global campaign with the brand’s new concept: Go further. So we decided to make a print ad that could literally take people further.

We started a partnership with a road toll company in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – Auto Expresso – and placed pre-paid chips inside every ad. The ads allowed for one free pass through the automatic tolls.

Over 70% of ads were used as toll payment, helping the New EcoSport to achieve the leadership in its segment with record sales in december.

1. Take away the adhesives.

2. Stick the ad on the car’s windshield.

3. Pass through an Auto Expresso toll and have a nice trip.”

Grey Poupon Mustards Support for LGBT National Pride Month

As National Pride month winds down for the LGBT community, Grey Poupon and CP+B have teamed for a small piece of content in support of gay rights. A Facebook image posted yesterday afternoon depicts two men in separate cars holding hands through open windows, a heartwarming riff on a famous 1981 ad for the mustard-maker. Earlier this year, CP+B used the famous spot as a backdrop for a “Lost Footage” reveal during the Academy Awards. In the original commercial, two mayonnaise whiteys pull up side-by-side in Rolls Royces. One man happens to be eating some mustard-garnished food in the backseat, while the other politely asks for some Grey Poupon. Instead of sharing, the first man drives off devilishly. Perhaps, thirty two years later, he had a change of heart.
