Newcastle Teases ‘Mega-Huge’ Super Bowl Ad Without Making It


Bud Light is squeezing Arnold Schwarzenegger, Don Cheadle and a llama into its celebrity-filled Super Bowl ad lineup.

Newcastle Brown Ale’s answer? Explosions, scary fish, thrilling escapes, frightening rock slides, sexual tension, ceremonial dances, battle apes, party sharks, and girls in bikinis fighting giant robots. All that, plus actress Anna Kendrick and former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson.

Actually, Newcastle never made such an ad. And that’s the point. Rather, the Heineken USA-imported brand has spent the days leading up to the Big Game running over-the-top teaser ads as part of a digitally focused campaign meant to poke a little fun at Super Bowl advertising. Or as one of Newcastle’s teaser ads says: “It is the mega-huge football game ad” the brand “could have made if we had the money, talent and permission to advertise in the game.”

Um anúncio para dominar a todos

Essa vai para os fãs apaixonados pela obra de J.R.R. Tolkien: como seria se o criador de O Hobbit e O Senhor dos Anéis tivesse ido trabalhar com publicidade, em vez de se dedicar à literatura? A resposta está no divertido Tumblr One Ad to Rule Them All.

Uma pena que há apenas alguns posts por lá, datados de dois meses atrás. Também não há informações sobre quem é a mente por trás deste Tumblr, mas seja quem for, teve uma ótima sacada. Tomara que o trabalho tenha continuidade.

[ATUALIZAÇÃO] Nos comentários abaixo, o Juarez Rodrigues esclareceu o mistério da mente por trás de One Ad to Rule Them All. Segundo ele, o autor é Valerio Amaro, que criou esta série em uma aula ministrada pelo próprio Juarez na Miami Ad School de Berlim, chamada Projetos Pessoais.

Short-Form Video: Vine, Instagram and Social Video Sharing


2014 is shaping up as the year the short-video format really catches on. Its popularity is already soaringmore than 40 million people are on Twitter-owned Vine and another 150 million-plus have accounts on Instagram, owned by Facebook.

In the first eight hours of Instagram Video’s existence, more than a year’s worth of video was uploaded. (That is, it would take a full year to sit down and watch consecutively all the content uploaded in those first hours.) Within 24 hours, more than 1 million Instavids, the common user term for Instagram videos, had been uploaded.

Vine’s just as hot. Every second, nine Tweets that include a Vine video are sent. The Facebook page of a group called “Best of Vines” (not affiliated with Vine) posts daily video picks and has 18 million likessince June. Vine recently added the ability to view its mobile app on the web, opening up a new avenue for viewing, commenting and following.

Budweiser cria continuação para o comercial do Super Bowl de 2013

Dizem por aí que não se mexe em time que está ganhando, e é mais ou menos isso que a Budweiser resolveu fazer este ano, para o Super Bowl. No ano passado, o comercial Brotherhood conquistou o primeiro lugar no AdMeter contando a história de um criador de cavalos (Clydesdale, é claro) que é reconhecido por um deles em um desfile. Este ano, a agência Anomaly preparou uma continuação, Puppy Love, com um fofíssimo acréscimo ao elenco original.

Até o momento em que este post foi escrito, não havia sinal de teaser do filme que será exibido no domingo no YouTube, apenas um making of.

A marca de cervejas, que conta com um contrato de exclusividade para anunciar no Super Bowl, também mobilizou uma cidade inteira para recepcionar um soldado voltando para casa, em um outro comercial também da Anomaly.

Não podemos esquecer, ainda, a promessa de uma noite inesquecível feita pela Bud Light, em um filme cheio de participações especiais criado pela BBDO. A brincadeira está começando a ficar séria.

[ATUALIZAÇÃO] Prepare o lenço. Taí o comercial da Budweiser para o Super Bowl.

Fake Noses, Blond Wigs: Are These Ads Offensive?


Japan’s All Nippon Airways has come under fire for an ad that some found off-putting and even racist: It depicted a Japanese actor dressed up as a foreigner, wearing a big rubber nose and blond wig.

The blunder might be a lesson for Japanese companies and agencies preparing for the international spotlight of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics — especially since the ANA ad was created by Japan’s increasingly international Dentsu, and because it isn’t the only commercial to caricature foreigners that way.

ANA’s ad drew more press than most, with Time’s news website referring to it as “whiteface” in a headline. The airline quickly apologized, said it meant no offense and revamped the ad.

Delta “volta” aos anos 1980 em vídeo de segurança

Na onda dos vídeos de segurança engraçadinhos, a Delta Airlines parece ainda não ter encontrado o seu caminho, ao contrário da Air New Zealand (que depois ainda conseguiu provar que nem só de hobbits se vive) e Virgin America. Desta vez, a companhia aérea resolveu “voltar” aos anos 1980, despejando um monte de referências da cultura pop daquela década.

Ao longo de pouco mais de 5 minutos, a comissária de bordo explica os procedimentos, enquanto aparecem imagens dos passageiros que parecem ter saído diretamente do DeLorean do dr. Emmett Brown. Em outras palavras, é um divertido desfile de cortes de cabelo horríveis, roupas idem e várias coisas que deixaram saudades – destaque para o Atari, fitas cassetes e até mesmo Alf.

Ao meu ver, o grande problema do vídeo – além do fato de ser muito extenso – é que ele é um pouco chato. A impressão que se tem é que não vai terminar nunca, e as referências aos anos 1980 foram jogadas ali sem muito propósito, podendo ser qualquer outra coisa (e assistindo ao vídeo de 2012, linkado no primeiro parágrafo, parece ser bem isso mesmo).

Quem sabe se Alf fosse o narrador, não seria melhor? Se bem que ele veio parar na Terra após um acidente com sua nave, o que talvez criaria um impasse. Enfim, faltou criar uma narrativa mais interessante. Quem sabe na próxima…
