Puppy Falls For Clydesdale in Buddweiser Super Bowl Ad

bud_puppy_super_bowl_2014.jpg

OK, then. This Anomaly-created Super Bowl Budweiser commercial, Puppy Love, is bound to bring tears to the eyes of those easily moved by puppies and cheesy love stories. Reprising his role from last year’s Brotherhood spot, Don Jeanes in the role of Clydesdale trainer, is visited by the puppy of a neighbor, model Melissa Keller, who runs an adoption center.

You see the puppy has a thing for Jeanes’ clydesdale and simply cannot stay away. In the end, the clydesdales gang up on the puppy’s would be adopter and force him allow the puppy to return to his love.

It’s all very Clydesdale-esque with Passenger’s Let Her Go fueling the spot’s emo qualities.

Relevance Has a Deadline: How To Be Ready for Real-Time Marketing


When a period TV series from the 1960s closely resembles today’s agency and client staff model, perhaps it’s time for a change.

Today, real-time marketing has become one of the most powerful methods of storytelling for brands. With new digital trends also comes a new set of expectations. For brands, the two critical consumer expectations for content are immediacy and relevance. In order to engage in a conversation, or start one, a brand needs to understand these two expectations. Unfortunately, today’s agency and brand infrastructure is not conducive to the requirements of real time marketing.

NewsCred worked with six DigitasLBi leaders to compile wisdom on what it takes to get real-time marketing right. According to DigitasLBi’s Eric Korsh, VP/Group Director of Brand Content, here are the four things that need to change.

Justin King’s goodbye letter to Sainsbury’s staff

This note went to everyone at Sainsbury’s earlier this morning about Justin King’s decision to step down in July with Mike Coupe taking over as CEO.

It’s Time to Shift the Focus from Mobile to Mobility


In an industry that’s obsessed with tapping into the Zeitgeist, we talk about mobile as though it’s the bright and shiny new object in marketing. Are we kidding? This year, smart phone penetration in the United States will hit 80%, tablets will overtake sales of PCs, and already about half of online traffic is taking place on the mobile web. Come on marketers consumers and manufacturers are way in front of us. Let’s kill off talk about developing a mobile plan. Our marketing plan needs to be our mobile plan and so too do our communications.

It’s Mobility, Not Mobile. Mobile is primarily about the devices and platforms, but mobility is a bigger idea. Mobility is very much at the heart of culture right now. It is about fulfilling consumers’ desire to stay constantly connected and helping people to get tasks done on the move. Mobility in marketing is going beyond mobile advertising, to adding mobile functionality and targeting across your marketing efforts, such as how Chipotle’s mobile app helps to facilitate dining on the go by allowing you to order and pay for your burrito on the way to their restaurant to avoid the wait. Instead of allocating a separate budget to mobile alongside other media channels, we should be applying mobility solutions to our print, video, search, out of home and website. For example, how many of us have plans to add voice navigation to our website? My bet is that consumers are going to respond to added mobility in your marketing programs as they have to mobile devices super-fast.

Gymkhana 6 com GoPro

Em novembro passado, Ken Block fez o sexto vídeo da série Gymkhana, em uma ação promocional para o “Need for Speed Rivals” da Electronic Arts.

Agora você pode assistir a mesma performance através dos olhos das cameras GoPro, filmado em HD com o modelo HERO3+.

Talvez seja só um exemplo da publicidade reciclando material, mas certamente os fãs do piloto-viral não se importam em assistir de novo.

Delta’s New In-Flight Safety Film Is One of the Most ’80s-tastic Videos Ever Made

Dudes, strap yourselves in and get ready for the most righteously rad 1980s-style flight safety video ever.

Delta graces Gen X nostalgiasts with this five-and-a-half-minute opus from Wieden + Kennedy in New York, packed with sweet memories celebrating the finest of the decade. Spoiler alerts ahead: It's got Alf, Atari and the Rubik's Cube. It's got the Energy Dome (better known as that ridiculous hat the guys from Devo wore). It's got tons of glam hair, and pastels and spandex. It's even got a poor sucker trying to wind a cassette tape back into the cartridge—and for you Airplane! fanatics, a nice little easter egg.

Overall, it doesn't quite have the insane '90s-esque vim of Virgin's song-and-dance flight-safety number, but it is a nice addition to Delta's growing collection of offbeat videos—and at least everyone isn't dressed like a Lord of the Rings extra.

Watch Bud’s ‘Puppy Love’ Clydesdale Super Bowl Ad


Budweiser won most of the Super Bowl ad contests last year with a Clydesdales spot called “Brotherhood” that chronicled the bond a colt has with its trainer. The Anheuser-Busch InBev brand is trying to recapture the magic this year by using the same trainer character, along with a Clydesdale and a 10-week-old puppy.

The ad, called “Puppy Love,” was released this morning. The agency is Anomaly and it was directed by Jake Scott, the same team that did last year’s ad. The soundtrack is “Let Her Go” by Passenger.

Como um computador assiste a um filme

Interessado pela visão e pelo poder de “escolha” de uma máquina, o artista Ben Grosser colocou seu computador para assistir à grandes filmes – e com narrativas e visual bastante diferentes entre si – como Matrix, A Origem, 2001: Uma Odisséia no Espaço, Táxi Driver, Beleza Americana e Annie Hall.

Uma máquina sem nosso senso de narrativa, visão e padrões históricos assiste ao mesmo que nós?

Para isso, Grosser escreveu um software com algoritmos de visão computacional que ficassem de olho em áreas como padrões, cores, proeminência e outros aspectos relevantes de cada quadro em um filme, a fim de identificar e rastrear itens interessantes – como rostos, prédios, sinais e elementos de paisagens.

Porém, a diferença deste experimento para qualquer outro programa de reconhecimento de imagem é a seguinte: aqui, o próprio computador (no caso, a inteligência de algoritmos) que “escolhe” no que focar. E é justamente este ato de “procurar por algo” da máquina que representa o estado de “assistir”.

Todo esse sistema pode ser visualizado através de um sketch interativo que é realizado de forma temporal pelo software, e representa o processo pelo qual a máquina passa ao “assistir” a um filme.

A Origem

Beleza Americana

Matrix

Táxi Driver

Sem comando algum, o sistema desenha o que “escolhe” ver.

Nas obras resultantes, é possível ouvir o áudio original do filme sobreposto ao canvas branco, que vai sendo desenhado aos poucos até preencher a tela por completo.

Para Grosser, a intenção era analisar o que uma máquina “faria” se não houvesse uma necessidade tão importante e instrumental para o seu usual processo de intensificação e rastreamento, ou seja, sem comando algum do ser humano.

No clipe sobre o filme A Origem, é possível ver uma análise da diferença entre a visão humana e a do computador. Por exemplo, quando a máquina assiste às explosões, ela enxerga uma série de pequenas e rápidas mudanças no campo visual. Assim, sua representação ganha pequenos rabiscos voando pela tela e contemplando seus movimentos. Já nós, humanos, focamos nos atores e em suas reações perante às explosões.

Todas as análises e peças finais podem ser vistas aqui.
