Tasting Lemon for the First Time

David Wile et April Maciborka présentent Pucker, un projet collaboratif autour d’une série de photos d’enfants en bas-âge goûtant le citron pour la première fois. On a peu de mal à comprendre pourquoi ils décrivent l’agrume comme une source de divertissement tant les visages qu’ils nous offrent sont expressifs. À découvrir en images.

Site mostra os primeiros projetos de criativos famosos

Há algumas semanas, mostramos por aqui o The Worstfolio, um site criado pela Miami Ad School que reúne os piores projetos dos maiores criativos do mundo. Por um caminho bastante parecido segue Before They Were Famous, que mergulha no portfolio da época de estudante de diversos profissionais, revelando alguns de seus primeiros trabalhos. Spoil alert: não é bonito.

Há pouco tempo no ar, o site foi criado pelas duplas Nathalie Turton e Lorelei Mathias, da Beattie McGuinness Bungay, e Paul Clinton e Daryll Arthur, segundo eles mesmos em busca do próximo trabalho.

Por enquanto, é possível encontrar os primeiros projetos assinados por Daryl Corps, da Droga5, Andrew Cracknell, autor de The Real Mad Men, Stuart Outhwaite e Ben Middleton, da Creature London, Mike Crowe e Rob Messeter, da Adam & Eve/ DDB, e Josh Engmann, da Mother NY, entre outros.

Entre os “criativos famosos” há, curiosamente, uma foto de Don Draper. Ao clicar nela, a descrição e uma promessa: “Diretor Criativo Executivo da Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce – Em breve – De verdade. Nós temos um plano ardiloso para conseguirmos os primeiros rabiscos de Don Draper”. É aguardar para ver o que vem por aí.

Há, ainda, uma seção que mostra os emails dos criativos que declinaram a “oportunidade” de mostrar seus primeiros trabalhos, alguns dizendo que não sabem onde estão suas pastas, outros dizendo que têm vergonha… De certa forma, é uma pena. Afinal, seria mais uma ótima oportunidade para quem está começando na área ver que ninguém é fodão logo de cara.

Beatrix, uma assistente virtual para a equipe de social media

Pensando em uma solução para a falta de tempo das empresas em se dedicar às redes sociais, o empreendedor de Singapura, Jon Yongfook, está lançando este mês seu novo serviço: Beatrix App, uma assistente virtual que gerencia as contas de TwitterFacebook das empresas.

Beatrix pensa nos conteúdos, dias e horários apropriados para cada rede, seguindo as premissas que o usuário determinar ao assinar o serviço.

Diversas aplicações online são populares por ajudar o profissional responsável pelas redes sociais a programar seus conteúdos e também a gerenciar o processo de curadoria, aprovação e publicação entre equipes e clientes.

Porém, Beatrix entra com o diferencial de buscar conteúdo e publicá-lo automaticamente em suas contas, pensando nos tipos, dias e horários apropriados para cada canal, seguindo as premissas que o usuário determinar ao assinar o serviço.

Além disso, é possível se comunicar com a ferramenta através do email. Ela entende e responde frases como “what’s next weeks content plan?“, “delete this link” ou “send me an interesting fact“.

BeatrixApp1BeatrixApp2

Aprendendo com os erros, acertos, novos direcionamentos e atualizações do usuário, Beatrix tende a usar estes dados para ficar mais inteligente ao longo do tempo, e se adequar às necessidades da empresa.

Falando por experiência própria, curar conteúdo, estudar os melhores dias e horários de publicação e programá-los em cada canal consome muito tempo, mesmo fazendo uso de ferramentas que automatizem o processo.

Aqui, esse serviço chega a ser interessante não como uma completa substituição de um assistente ou estagiário, mas como forma de ajudar estes profissionais em processos mecânicos, deixando foco e mais tempo para pesquisas e trabalhos que demandem inteligência e criatividade.

Beatrix App está disponível por $29 mensais. Há também outros planos mais complexos, que contam com 5 assistentes (por $49 mensais) ou 30 assistentes (por $279 mensais).

Audi Features Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent in U.K. Campaign


Sometimes, you don’t have to be the one in the spotlight. Sometimes — when you’re comfortable in your own skin — you can be just as powerful when you’re the sidekick, the mediator — or the alter-ego. BBH London and Audi speak to the understated luxury of the new RS 6 Avant in a striking print ad featuring Christopher Reeve, in the role he’s perhaps second-best known for: Clark Kent. The ad features a black-and-white photo of the actor in his Superman disguise, along with the tagline “Power from a less obvious place.”

An accompanying TV spot features boxing champions Steve Cunningham and B.J. Floresand as sideliners. The real star of the ad is the man who keeps the match going: boxing referee Tony Weeks. The bout is filmed in such a way that Mr. Weeks remains center frame at all times. In the end, he exits via the tunnel, towards his Audi.
