Rockefeller to Marketing Data Giants: You’re On Notice


Call it a fitting culmination to a year in which corporate and government data tracking and related privacy concerns became topics of conversation around the watercooler and kitchen table. Today the Senate Commerce Committee held a long-awaited hearing about the consumer-data-broker industry.

“We have a feeling people are getting scammed or screwed,” said Senator Jay Rockefeller, D-W.V., whose office sent inquiries to several data brokers in the past year. He called out data giants Acxiom, Epsilon and Experian, threatening to use more forceful ways of getting them to divulge information about how they do business and with whom.

One concern shared by Mr. Rockefeller and privacy advocates is predatory marketing activity conducted by financial firms or other companies targeting vulnerable groups such as the impoverished or immigrant populations. Another concern is the practice of scoring individuals determined by algorithmic data analysis and serving them with tailored offers. In some cases that could involve higher interest rates for loans or dynamic prices for products based on prior web behavior or demographic data.

Streaming Yule Log on Netflix Has Its Own Hilarious Trailer and Director’s Commentary

The original Yule Log television broadcast dates back to 1966, when WPIX-TV aired footage of a cozy fireplace to cheer up New Yorkers who lived in apartments without one. But Netflix really gives it a modern spin this year, humorously advertising its streaming Yule Log channel with a faux-epic trailer and two-minute behind-the-scenes director's commentary video. It's all perfectly stupid and hilarious, particularly the longer video, in which the auteur picks out the right logs on a farm and marvels at particularly serendipitous "ashing" in footage of the burning wood. Great holiday cheer by ad agency Muh-Tay-Zik | Hof-fer.

Trailer for Netflix’s ‘Fireplace For Your Home’ Gives Away Entire Plot

Everyone loves a good trailer, but all too often these days movie trailers reveal the plot in its entirety.

Unfortunately, such is the case with the recently released trailer for Netflix’s “Fireplace For Your Home.” Initial shots of the fireplace setup cause viewers to wonder if the spark will catch fire and spread, offering a great teaser to the new home fireplace simulation you can stream on Netflix whenever you please, before they go too far and show [spoiler alert] that the fire does indeed spread to the other logs. The tongue-in cheek trailer was put together, we hear, by San Francisco-based agency Muhtayzik Hoffer, who also offers up a behind-the-scenes documentary.

Hoffer employs a good deal of deadpan, self-effacing humor in the behind-the-scenes video, exploring the wood selection process that went into the making of the fire (and the video), while the director offers up his take on “foreground logs” versus “background logs” as well as commentary about happy accidents that occurred during the day of filming. “None of this ashing here on the left was written in,” he explains, “It just kind of happened on the day.” The 2:22 mockumentary, featured after the jump, is well worth a quick chuckle for its look at Hoffer’s supposed idiosyncratic process. continued…

Facebook Hires Former Apple Ad Exec Scott Trattner as Executive Creative Director


Former TBWA/Media Arts Lab Executive Creative Director Scott Trattner has joined Facebook as executive creative director, the company announced today.

Mr. Trattner will be managing Facebook’s growing in-house creative team, currently consisting of about 15-20 staffers. Although Mr. Trattner has an agency background, Facebook will not be going into the agency business. But given his background working with a major digital and consumer electronics marketer, Mr. Trattner’s hire suggests that Facebook is continuing to invest heavily in its own marketing and creative. It follows the company’s recent appointment of first-ever CMO Gary Briggs from Motorola/Google in August.

“Facebook’s brand is unique, young and inspired by the hundreds of millions of people who connect with it every single day,” said Mr. Trattner in a company-provided comment. ” It’s an opportunity to work with a fascinating global brand, and an excellent team led by [CMO] Gary Briggs and [Senior Director of Product Marketing] Rebecca Van Dyck.”

Man Dresses Up Like Local Realtors and Plasters His Face on Their Ads

Sometimes, the combination of creative talent and too much free time can lead to some truly odd projects. Case in point: designer Phil Jones, who has been replacing realtor ads around town with his own meticulously reproduced photos.

Using wigs and wardrobe changes, Jones reenacted each realtor's pose as closely as he could, then pasted the results over the original images on benches around Minneapolis.

While it could (accurately) be described as vandalism, the project's rapid explosion in popularity since Jones posted it on Reddit is also helping to bring national attention to a few local real estate agents with modest ad budgets.

Yes, he's truly offering a service—helping to drive record traffic to their websites … their crappy, crappy, crappy websites.


    

Lonely 85-Year-Old Man Gets Incredible Response to a Personal Ad Seeking a Friend at Christmas

It's easy to get swept up in the consumerism of the holiday season, and just as easy to get swept up in the crushing cynicism and contempt for people that passes for opposition to that consumerism. When either of those things occur, it's nice to be reminded that people are sometimes decent to one another during this time of year.

Retired Irish pensioner James Gray has spent the last 10 Christmases by himself, much like almost half a million seniors annually if British charity Age U.K. has its numbers right. Tired of the solitude, Gray, 85, decided to put out a personal ad of sorts, asking for someone to come and have Christmas lunch with him.

Responses were slow until the Irish Post ran a story on Gray, and now he's getting responses from all over Britain, and even some from America. "It is so touching to me, after all these years alone, to see this response from people," Gray tells the Post in a follow-up to the original story. "I should have done this years ago."

LG: My TV Ultrawide

Este episódio do Braincast é um oferecimento de LG

Testamos aqui no estúdio do Braincast os novos (e larguíssimos) monitores My TV Ultrawide da LG.

São 29 polegadas, mas ele não é quadradão como os antigos 4:3, ou um pouco mais esticado, como os atuais 16:9, ele tem a proporção de 21:9! Ou seja, ele é tipo um bom filme de cinema.

Já seria legal demais só pela visão panorâmica que ele tem, mas tem algumas coisas que tornam ele ainda melhor: É possível dividir a tela em até 4; É também uma TV de LED, pronta para TV digital brasileira e com a função PIP; Também dá para ligar dois dispositivos ao mesmo tempo nele, como uma câmera e o computador, ou o notebook e o desktop.

E ele também é totalmente compatível com Mac, o que nem sempre acontece com outros monitores por aí. O modelo é o MA73D. Dá uma olhada pra você entender do que estamos falando.

The ‘Ideas Man’ Sends His 2013 Season’s Greetings

It’s been over six months since we’ve heard from one Floyd Hayes, the “ideas man” who’s actually had a fairly productive year considering that he’s launched not only what he’s dubbed “the world’s fastest agency” but also a guerilla marketing school. Anyhow, with the year coming to a close and the holiday season upon us, Hayes, the former creative director at U.K./NY shop Cunning, has emerged to give us this holiday-themed, self-promotional clip, which is pretty self-explanatory. Well, he is the ideas man, after all.

How to Make Dos Nog: Egg Nog With Dos Equis Beer

dos_equis_dos_nog.jpg

In this Havas -created holiday greeting from Dos Equis’ Most Interesting Man, we learn of an experience he had with a very stubborn donkey and his desire to have the recipe for the egg nog the donkey’s owner made for him. It, of course, contains beer. Dos Equis beer to be precise.

Below, enjoy the holiday video along with the recipe.

Serves 8
30 quail eggs, separated (or 6 chicken eggs)
1/2 cup sugar, plus 2 tbsp
2 1/2 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
4 oz bourbon
1 bottle Dos Equis Ambar
Cinnamon sticks to garnish — optional

HOW TO MAKE IT

To make Dos Nog you will need a few things: the ingredients above, an ambitious palate and a touch of interesting. Let’s get started.

Begin by combining ½ cup of sugar with 30 quail egg yolks. If you don’t have quail eggs, 6 chicken egg yolks will suffice. Beat in a stand mixer for several moments until the concoction doubles in volume. Mix in the milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, nutmeg, your favorite bourbon and a bottle of Dos Equis Ambar.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites and 2 tbsp of sugar until peaks appear, resembling the waves beneath Count Beaumont-sur-Mer’s majestic vessel. Fold the waves into the yolk/sugar concoction, chill, pour into glasses and garnish each with ground nutmeg, a cinnamon stick and conversation.
