Red Tettemer Rebrands, Opens Outpost in Los Angeles


After 17 years in the city that’s known for the Liberty Bell and cheesesteaks, Red Tettemer is going Hollywood or bust.

The agency — which has about 70 staffers and counts UnderArmour and Century21 as clients — is rebranding and opening its first new outpost in Venice, California.

Effective August 1, it will be renamed Red Tettemer O’Connell + Partners. It means that Steve O’Connell, who’s an executive creative director and partner at the shop, gets his name on the door. He joined in 2010 when Red Tettemer acquired O’Connell’s and Jared Scott’s Philly-based shop Stick and Move. Carla Mote and Jared Scott will continue to lead accounts and business development at the agency.

‘Sharkalanche!’ The Best Entries in Syfy’s Twitter Contest to Name ‘Sharknado 2’


Following the social media success of its original movie “Sharknado,” Syfy is taking to Twitter to ask fans to name the sequel.

Syfy green lit “Sharknado 2” on Wednesday, less than a week after the first movie garnered as much as 5,000 Tweets per minute during its two-hour airing last Thursday. In total, “Sharknado” resulted in 387,000 online comments, according to Syfy.

Despite the social-media chatter, however, the movie only pulled in 1.4 million viewers. Earlier this year its “Chupacabra vs. the Alamo” attracted 1.5 million viewers. And the series premiere of “Defiance,” which in fairness was heavily marketed, drew 2.7 million.

“The Fifth Estate”, primeiro trailer do filme sobre a WikiLeaks

A Dreamworks revelou o primeiro trailer de “The Fifth Estate”, filme que vai contar do WikiLeaks, com Benedict Cumberbatch no papel de Julian Assange.

Cercado de polêmica desde o início da produção, a obra tem estreia marcada para 18 de outubro nos EUA. O próprio Assange já declarou que o filme é apenas uma “peça de propaganda”, e mais cedo o perfil oficial do WikiLeaks no Twitter alertou: “Não seja enganado”

Em entrevista ao Vulture, o diretor Bill Condon afirmou que “The Fifth Estate” de forma alguma é um filme anti-WikiLeaks, e que pretende fazer mais perguntas do que dar respostas.

O roteiro é baseado em dois livros igualmente controversos, também rechaçados pro Julian Assange.“Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange and the World’s Most Dangerous Website” foi escrito por Daniel Domscheit-Berg, ex-parceiro de Assange na criação do site. E “WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange’s War on Secrecy” dos jornalistas do Guardian David Leigh e Luke Harding. É bom ir assistir já de sobreaviso.

Digital Companies Seek Delicate Balance On Government Data Requests


Yahoo, Google and Microsoft are on a crusade to ensure the public knows they don’t succumb to every demand from the government for consumer data. In the wake of the National Security Administration’s PRISM program scandal, they’ve each formally petitioned for the ability to reveal more information about government data requests.

Yahoo seems furthest ahead in this pursuit. The company has been granted the ability to reveal the opinion of a ruling from its unsuccessful 2008 challenge to the constitutionality of a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court order to provide data on Yahoo users. It’s the latest wrinkle in the ongoing data-gate saga prompted by exposure of the PRISM program, which has the world’s largest digital advertising and media corporations squirming.

Though much of the process remains obscured, the Federal government is evaluating whether to grant Yahoo a motion to disclose all or parts of the opinion on the constitutionality case ruling. It was only recently that Yahoo was able to disclose the fact that it filed the suit at all. The decision to unveil FISA court opinion information is an unusual one, said a source close to the Yahoo case who asked to remain anonymous.

Giant Dragon Skull That Washed Up on British Beach Is an Ad for Game of Thrones

The only thing scarier than a 12-foot-tall Colin Firth in a British lake is a 40-foot-long dragon skull washed up on a British beach. Beachgoers in Dorset were surprised to come across the latter on Monday—as a skull the size of a London bus suddenly appeared on Charmouth beach, part of Dorset's Jurassic coast, famous for its dinosaur fossils.

Alas, it's not a real dragon skull—it's an ad from movie and TV streaming service BlinkBox, which is celebrating the arrival this week of the third season of HBO's epic Game of Thrones on its site. It took a team of three sculptors more than two months to design, construct and paint the skull, which was dreamed up by Taylor Herring, the same PR company that built the giant Mr. Darcy earlier this summer.

The skull—perhaps the coolest Game of Thrones-related marketing since the dragon-shadow newspaper ad—was inspired by the scene in the series when Arya Stark discovers a dragon skull in the dungeons of King's Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms.

In ‘Game of Thrones’ Stunt, Dragon Bones Wash Up on Beach


For once, it’s not HBO coming up with masterful moves to promote hit show “Game of Thrones.” British movie and streaming service Blinkbox thought up this clever stunt to promote the arrival of season three of the show on its platform. The “remains of a giant dragon” washed up on the Charmouth beach on Dorset’s “Jurassic Coast” (thus named because the area depicts a geological walk through time spanning the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods).

The skull of the dragon was about the size of a bus, created by a team of three sculptors working for more than two months. The stunt was inspired by a scene which saw Arya Stark discovering a dragon skull in the dungeons of King’s Landing.

Analyze Dat: TOR Visualization & online black markets

109k

I knew about Bitcoin, i had heard of the Tor software that enables online anonymity but other than that, i felt that there was precious little i knew about the Deep Web, the vast submersed side of the World Wide Web that countless people are using in perfect anonymity every day to buy goods that neither ebay nor amazon will ever sell you and to exchange services that never appear when you do a google search. The more i looked into online black markets, the more intrigued i was. I thought that the easiest and fastest way to get a better understanding of the issue would be to interview Arthur Heist continue

Rolling Stone Slammed for Boston Bomber Selfie Cover


Rolling Stone magazine is getting slammed for a cover featuring accused Boston bomber Jahar Tsarnaev.

The magazine’s cover subjects have drawn their share of controversy over the years, whether it was Charles Manson or Britney Spears. But Mr. Tsarnaev seems to have drawn a far stronger reaction, with online commenters arguing that the photo choice portrays the man allegedly responsible for killing three people and injuring many more as a pop star.

A commenter on Rolling Stone’s Facebook page suggested that “Jeff Bauman, who lost both legs, should be on cover.” That remark accumulated more than 2,200 “likes”; Rolling Stone’s own Facebook post with the cover has just over 1,400.
