Quem veio primeiro: o ovo ou a cerveja?
Posted in: UncategorizedMais uma belo filmes de Andes está no ar. Desta vez uma galinha misteriosamente começa a botar garrafas de cerveja ao invés de ovos. Por que? De verdade, isso não interessa.
Como um Saramago no “Ensaio sobre a Cegueira”, a razão porque o fato acontece ou porque ele para misteriosamente de acontecer é o de menos. A história gira em torno de como as pessoas reagem a essa coisa misteriosa.
Tudo isso para vender uma edição limitada da Andes Barley Wine. Eu gostei.
A criação é dos hermanos da Del Campo Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi.

Burt’s Bees Adds Halloween Faves to ‘Classic Vines’
Posted in: UncategorizedA few weeks ago we shared Burt’s Bees “Classic Vines” series: interpretations of classic literature using products from their “classics” collection animated in the Vine 6-second format from Baldwin& and animator Jethro Ames. Now, Burt’s Bees has rolled out two new classics for Halloween.
Their selections shouldn’t surprise anyone: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde (featured above) both get the Burt’s treatment. Both Vines are pretty much what you’d expect. In The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, the headless horseman is portrayed as a stick of lip balm whose cap has fallen off. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I think, works a little better. Dr. Jekyll, portrayed by Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream, drinks his concoction and is transformed into Mr. Hyde — portrayed by hand salve. Nothing mind-boggling here, but the way that the product changes during the transformation is a nice touch. If you liked this approach when Burt’s Bees introduced it, you’ll welcome these new Halloween additions. If you thought the idea was stupid, these will do nothing to change your mind. Stay tuned for “Sleepy Hollow,” along with credits, after the jump. continued…

Chupa Chups ajuda você a criar uma fantasia para o Halloween
Posted in: UncategorizedSe você tem uma festa de Halloween para ir hoje à noite e não faz ideia de qual fantasia usar, quem sabe o Chupa Chups Costumator pode ajudar você. Criado pela BBH de Cingapura, o site tem uma mecânica simples e ligeiramente viciante. Basicamente, você faz o upload de uma foto – que pode ser de qualquer um de seus álbuns do Facebook ou ainda feita na hora, pela webcam -, clica na alavanca vermelha e pronto.
A fantasia é dividida em três partes e, conforme você vai ficando satisfeito com o resultado, pode fechar os cadeados para travar a cabeça, membros superiores e inferiores. A ideia é usar alguns personagens tradicionais para criar algo novo, divertido ou simplesmente maluco.
Para quem quiser encarar alguns breves momentos de terror, a BBH também criou para Chupa Chups um comercial que mostra uma sequência de monstrinhos e o que fazer para acalmá-l0s. Pode até ser politicamente incorreto, mas todo mundo sabe lá no fundo que a técnica funciona.

Posted in: UncategorizedInterpublic Group’s Deutsch hasn’t had a major spot on the Johnson & Johnson roster since its seven-year run on the Tylenol account ended in 2010, but it’s getting another shot with Acuvue.

Op-Ed: Will Ads Ruin Instagram?
Posted in: UncategorizedVirginia Alber-Glanstaetten, group director of planning at Huge, has returned with her monthly column for this here site, now discussing a rather hot topic that would be ads on Instagram? Will it be good or bad for the Facebook-owned service? Well, without further ado, let’s see what the author thinks. Take it away.
Last week, Instagram teased its plan to introduce advertisements into users’ feeds with a few tasteful shots: a gauzy, Americana-inspired photo from Levi’s and a quirky and colorful bird’s eye view from Instagram itself. Commentators are justifiably focused on what the ads look like on a platform that gained popularity in large part because of its emphasis on great images. Instagram has pledged that ads will conform to the high visual standards expected by the community and reassured users that the privacy and ownership of their photos will continue to be protected.
We’ll see. As an Instagram user, I’m irritated that my feed will now involve brands pushing their agenda in my face amongst the folks that I have selected to follow. Of course, it’s no surprise that Instagram decided to monetize its platform, or that yet another social media network is touting the advantages of data at its fingertips, especially the ability to target ads more effectively. And media planners will seize on a new opportunity for ad placement—while InstaAds might not drive a lot of revenue, they will boost brand reach and exposure.

Dr. Oz Fires Back at Accusation That He’s Shilling for NFL
Posted in: UncategorizedDr. Mehmet Oz is firing back at charges he’s shilling for the NFL at a time when the country’s richest, most powerful sports league is struggling with medical, legal and image problems from the player-concussion issue.
The host of the syndicated “Dr. Oz Show” described as “unfair” a Los Angeles Times column accusing him of “shamelessly shilling for the NFL.” The column, written by Michael Hiltzik, was a response to a 30-second spot aired during football games over the weekend. Part of a campaign in which celebrities and others discuss their connection to football, Dr. Oz, a former high school and college football player, describes football as a “rite of passage” that helped his teen son Oliver “grow up.” He recalls his pride when the announcer called his son’s first game tackle.
Mr. Hiltzik, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, wrote it was a new low for Dr. Oz to endorse the NFL without adding a “cautionary disclaimer” on the risk from traumatic head injuries. Just how blistering the column was becomes clear in the lead paragraph: “Medical experts realized long ago that there’s no point in guessing how low Dr. Mehmet Oz will sink in pushing patent cures, fad diets and unproven health “miracles” on his Oprah-produced TV show. But his appearance this weekend in an NFL promotional campaign looks like some sort of a milestone.”
