eMarketer Raises Its Programmatic Ad Spend Estimate, Again


Programmatic advertising is growing so fast, ad spend analysts just turned in their second upward revision in only three months.

The revision, which comes via an analysis of multiple studies performed by eMarketer, estimates advertisers will now spend 75.3% more on programmatic advertising in 2013 than they did last year. The previous estimate, a 73.9% increase, was apparently not ambitious enough.

In dollars, that means $3.37 billion will be spent on programmatic in 2013 and $4.66 billion in 2014.

Com um carro de vidro, Johnnie Walker alerta sobre os perigos de beber e dirigir

Todo mundo sabe que álcool e direção não combinam, mas ainda assim, muitos preferem ignorar os perigos desta combinação. A Johnnie Walker, então, resolveu criar uma campanha de conscientização, propondo que os fãs da marca assinem um pacto se comprometendo a não beber e dirigir. Para divulgar a iniciativa #ImNOTdriving, a Iris, de Cingapura, e o diretor Russell Appleford assinam The Glass Car, filme em que o principal destaque é um carro de Formula 1 feito de vidro.

O veículo, criado com CGI, é o resultado da combinação de 1750 copos de uísque. Tão frágil quanto belo, o Vodafone McLaren Mercedes de vidro protagoniza uma das sequências mais incríveis – e ao mesmo tempo bela e assustadora – da publicidade nos últimos tempos, quando o carro é completamente destruído. São 300 quadros por segundo, resultando em um arquivo de 100 gigabytes que levou quase uma semana para ser renderizado.

A campanha conta com o apoio do piloto Mika Häkkinen, embaixador da Johnnie Walker, que diz: ”Ficar no controle é o que importa nas corridas. Decisões de frações de segundo são a diferença entre terminar em primeiro e terminar em último, ou simplesmente não terminar. The Glass Car é um poderoso lembrete de quão facilmente os nossos sonhos podem se partir”.

No Facebook, a Johnnie Walker quer atingir a meta de 1 milhão de comprometimentos de sobriedade. Em troca, a marca vai oferecer um milhão de quilômetros de caronas para os fãs da marca ao redor do mundo.

MillerCoors Makes Prohibition Repeal Day an Excuse to Drink


Prohibition officially ended on Dec. 5, 1933, when Utah became the 36th state to approve the 21st Amendment, an occasion that New Yorkers celebrated with “quiet restraint,” according to a New York Times headline at the time. Eighty years later, Miller Coors’ Batch 19 beer is turning the milestone into a marketing event as it seeks new momentum for the small but growing brand.

The Repeal Day campaign includes signage, in-store sampling and bar parties at which brand representatives will wear historical clothing like flapper outfits. One poster encourages drinkers to celebrate Repeal Day because “without it, you’d be drinking swill.”

Batch 19 wants to “own the holiday,” said Libby Mura, senor marketing director at Tenth and Blake, the craft and imports division for MillerCoors. The brand, she said, has a unique claim on the event because it is crafted from a pre-Prohibition recipe. The formula was uncovered in 1998 after the basement of a Coors brewery in Golden, Colo., flooded and a brewer discovered an old recipe logbook buried in a cabinet. MillerCoors used one of the formulas inside for Batch 19, which was introduced in 2010. The name refers to 1919, the year Prohibition started.

Instagram Is Now Publishing a New Ad Almost Every Day


Advertising on Instagram has quickly moved from a novelty to a near-daily occurence, and they’re churning up a tsunami of “likes” as well as a dose of aggrieved user comments.

General Electric, Levi’s, Lexus and Ben & Jerry’s have now posted their first ads to the mobile photo- and video-sharing network, which are being targeted to a broad audience, according to a spokesman. (Michael Kors became the app’s first advertiser earlier this month.) The only targeting parameters in play are age and gender, which are applied from what Instagram users have entered in their Facebook profiles.

At first blush, the results are good. Some of the ads — which are mainly aspirational, belonging to the genre found in high-fashion magazines — have garnered hundreds of thousands of likes and an influx of new followers for the brands. Michael Kors, for example, gained roughly 34,000 new followers 18 hours after its first of four ads published, according to Instagram analytics firm Nitrogram. (It posted more big follower gains for the subsequent three ads and currently has more than 1.4 million followers.)

Delipapier Le Trèfle Toilet Paper: Emma

Today the war rages on between those who want everything digital, and the defenders of paper. That’s why the ad features a man who is inseparable from his iPad. His partner on the other hand, Emma, uses paper for everything: to draw, leave messages on Post-it notes, do a crossword puzzle and read a paperback. Throughout the ad, the man reminds his partner she could be using an iPad instead. ”Emma” he repeats like a chorus. But as the man finds out during a trip to the loo, he’s out of loo paper and calls out ”Emma”. She slips him his iPad under the door with a picture of a toilet roll. He realises an iPad has its limits.
