Em ação da Nike, jogador do Boca Juniors apaga todos os seguidores no Twitter

Em agosto passado, a Nike lançou um comercial para o Boca Juniors que retratava o ritual de batismo dos jogadores. Os novatos, quando entram como titulares, precisavam raspar a cabeça. Porém, para mostrar que no Boca todos jogam que se fosse a primeira vez, os veteranos também passam pelo mesmo procedimento.

A BBDO Argentina levou o mesmo conceito para o Twitter, utilizando o perfil do Burrito Martinez – que na época do Corinthians não fazia nada – como prova da disposição de começar de novo. Todos os mais de 92 mil seguidores do jogador foram apagados, seguido de um tweet dizendo que ele se esforçaria no campo para recuperar todos de volta.

O video-case acima resume a ação, que é bem simples, mas uma bom exemplo de transposição do conceito do comercial para redes sociais.

Alibaba Breaks E-Commerce Sales Record On China’s ‘Singles’ Day’


Alibaba Group said transactions on its websites today surpassed last year’s single- day sales of 19.1 billion yuan ($3.1 billion) as discounts fueled demand on China’s biggest online shopping day.

Taobao and Tmall, Alibaba’s two main platforms, broke last year’s sales in the first 13 hours of the 24-hour period, China’s largest e-commerce company said today on its official Twitter account. Today is China’s Singles’ Day, a local twist on Valentine’s Day, and e-commerce firms are marking the occasion by flooding the Internet with promotions.

Tmall’s vendors, starting midnight, began cutting prices by 50% or more on selected products from 20,000 Chinese and international merchants, including Gap and Steven Madden. Surging Internet purchases show Chinese demand is shifting away from bricks-and-mortar outlets. The percentage of retail sales made online last year jumped to 6.3% from 4.3% a year earlier, according to Bloomberg Industries.

Yahoo and Starcom Ink Exclusive Data, Content Deal


In a sign that Yahoo’s relations with agencies are warming, the digital media giant has struck a year-long deal with Starcom that will give the Publicis Groupe media shop exclusive access to Yahoo’s “first-party” data on its visitors as well as to its content studio.

“Yahoo sits on data based on all of its platforms,” Starcom CEO Lisa Donohue said. “Our clients sit on data about their own consumers. So instead of hoping that consumers find content, let’s use the data to create and push online video content out to consumers.”

She explained that for a typical client program, Starcom might look at a combination of client data and Yahoo user data, which could include data from Yahoo mail or its editorial properties focused on areas such as sports and entertainment, to identify existing content or news that’s resonating with specific audiences. Then, working with the Yahoo studio, the agency team would create original video content related to those topics, tweak it to incorporate a client message and distribute it to those targeted audiences across Yahoo channels. Someone be could be shown a pre-roll video ad on Yahoo or one of its partner sites for an insurance brand, for example, based on that person’s recent search queries.
