Why The Marketing Pie Is Becoming Mush

I didn’t make any industry predictions for 2014. But one thing is certain to happen: More and more advertising and marketing firms will continue to grab any business they can. Whether they’re competent in a certain type of work or not.

If you’re hiring any kind of marketing firm, it’s always good to look at the DNA of who you’re considering. Start with their website. For example, if you can’t find anyone with a creative background in the leadership section, then don’t expect creativity to be a priority. Don’t expect much PR assistance if there isn’t anyone in upper management trained in it. And if you’re looking for a job, watch out: You also won’t find recruiters or project managers with much knowledge of job roles that the firm doesn’t traditionally hire.

It’s the subject of my latest column on Talent Zoo.

Archicine destaca a arquitetura de clássicos do cinema

Há alguns dias, a gente mostrou por aqui mais uma coleção reunida por Federico Mauro, que ao longo do ano mostrou como alguns objetos famosos podem criar uma identificação imediata no público. Mas nem só de óculos, guitarras e chapéus se vive, como comprova o arquiteto e ilustrados italiano Federico Babina, criador da série de pôsteres Archicine.

Nesta coleção, os filmes são representados pela arquitetura de seu principal cenário, como por exemplo, o inconfundível prédio de Janela Indiscreta, a casa de Os Incríveis ou ainda a singular construção de Star Wars.

Se a gente parar para pensar, ainda tem muitas outras casas e prédios que merecem entrar para esta série – as casas de Tony Stark e Sherlock Holmes são dois bons exemplos.

De qualquer maneira, vale dar uma olhada no portfolio de Babina, que tem outros projetos bem interessantes.

Human Tide recria obra perdida de Duchamp, “La Maree Humaine”

Em 2010, um trabalho desconhecido do artista Marcel Duchamp foi encontrado em Norfolk, Inglaterra. Dentro de um livro assinado pelo artista, haviam instruções e desenhos datados de mais de 100 anos sobre uma obra chamada La Maree Humaine.

Os estudos pareciam imaginar pessoas pintando ondas com luz, para fins de captar impressões lineares do ir e vir de uma maré. Além da tecnologia de seu tempo, a obra perdida virou realidade através da performance Human Tide.

As agências Syzygy e Unique, em parceria com Park Village, decodificaram os estudos de Duchamp preservando as medidas de 1 quilômetro de cada uma das três linhas em seus desenhos, criadas a partir de luz e filme com o movimento da maré.

A projeto gigantesco fez part do I am not dead festival, uma celebração centenária do tempo que o artista passou em Herne Bay, Kent.

O palco da performance contou com vários participantes para rastrear a beira da maré por 1 quilômetro, usando enormes pedaços de madeira com sensores de luzes, afim de marcar os momentos em que a água encontrava a areia. Três trilhas separadas foram feitas desta forma. Ou seja, são desenhos criados por grupos de pessoas, a “maré humana”.

Para saber mais, o making of da performance está disponível aqui.

A obra foi filmada em timelapse e como fotografias de longa exposição. O resultado final é uma pintura gigante de ondas de luzes sobre um movimento rápido do sol e da maré em sincronia, acompanhados por uma trilha sonora exclusiva de Paul Hartnol.

No. 1 in Film/Video: Dove’s Real Beauty Sketches

Dove’s social experiment to prove that women are more beautiful than they themselves think takes top honors in this category. In a campaign by Ogilvy Brazil, filmed by John X Carey of Paranoid in a San Francisco loft, the beauty brand employed FBI-trained forensic sketch artist Gil Zamora, who usually sketches people described by crime eyewitnesses. First he drew portraits of women according to their own description, and then he drew portraits of those same women according to strangers who had met them on the day. The differences between how they describe themselves and how others describe them are immediately striking. The full campaign includes a short documentary, four films documenting women’s reactions to the portraits, and outdoor executions. The wildly successful campaign won the brand the Titanium Grand Prix at Cannes 2013.
