FilmmakerIQ conta a história dos trailers cinematográficos

Quem diria, lá em 1913, que a ideia de colocar algumas chamadas e pequenas sequências para outros títulos no intervalo/início de um filme se tornaria uma verdadeira instituição cinematográfica. Pois é, ainda hoje, muita gente faz questão de chegar um pouco mais cedo no cinema só para assistir aos trailers – tradição que nem a internet foi capaz de abalar. Afinal, ir ao cinema é uma experiência repleta de particularidades, sejam elas boas ou ruins.

Voltando aos trailers, o site FilmmakerIQ acabou de lançar um vídeo – em inglês, sem legendas – para contar a centenária história dos trailers cinematográficos. Desde a Era de Ouro de Hollywood até os blockbusters, essa web-aula mostra como estes filmetes passaram de simples publicidade à pura arte – muitas vezes considerado até um gênero à parte.

Hoje, os trailers têm de funcionar não só como um preview ou uma chamada para um filme, mas também como um conteúdo que possa ser compartilhado em redes sociais.

Firestone cria comercial romântico para vender pneus

As palavras “romance” e “pneus” não costumam ser usadas juntas com muita frequência, a não ser que se trate do novo comercial da Firestone, “PickUp”. Criado pela Leo Burnett, com produção da Park Pictures e direção de Lance Acord, o filme prima pela belíssima execução.

A história gira em torno de dois casais. O primeiro deles é formado por dois jovens que estão fugindo para casar. O segundo, um homem e uma mulher maduros, que construíram uma vida juntos. A sacada do filme está no momento em que os dois se encontram – e, até isso acontecer, há espaço para a imaginação voar e criar várias possibilidades.

É no momento do encontro, entretanto, que os pneus da Firestone brilham, mostrando que podemos confiar neles.

Para quem curtiu a trilha sonora, a música é “True Love Will Find You In the End”, interpretada por Daniel Johnston.

How Big Data Shapes AT&T’s Advertising Creative


“It’s Not Complicated” may have been its name, but the insights that drove one of AT&T’s most successful ad campaigns ever were based on a massive three-year big-data project that was plenty complex.

The campaign featuring comedian Beck Bennett and little kids in a classroom was the product of a three-year project. It involved an analysis of 40 copy-test variables and tagging 370 AT&T and competitive wireless communications ads on everything from the type of humor used and how characters interact to type of storyline.

The BBDO-created campaign that resulted from the analysis generated an additional $50 million in sales in AT&T’s estimation, said Greg Pharo, director-market research and analysis for the telecom in a presentation at the Advertising Research Foundation’s Re:Think 2014 conference in New York today.

Coke Retools Teen Campaign in Second Year


Coca-Cola is taking its “The Ahh Effect” campaign targeting teens offline in its second year.

The campaign, created as a socially and digitally led effort, will now add TV spots and packaging promotion to the mix in an effort to reach more teens. In its first year, the Ahh ecosystem, which consists of 61 unique websites, attracted 7.5 million visits, with teens spending an average of six minutes per visit. The majority of the sites — each has a different number of “h’s” appended at the end of the “Ahh” — highlight product attributes, like the perfect temperature for serving a Coke.

“We’re helping teens rediscover the liquid, the product,” said Andy McMillin, VP-Coca-Cola trademark for Coca-Cola North America. “We’ve seen an increase in purchase intent and we’re seeing substantial increases in some core equity measures.”

Video Advertising Goes Global With French Power Merger


Two major players in online video advertising, Ebuzzing and Teads, are merging to create a new company with plans to list on the NASDAQ in 2015.

Both companies are French, and have separately been developing “outstream” video advertising allowing the distribution of video advertising outside of traditional video editorial. Ebuzzing has been working with advertisers since 2007, while Teads has been working with online publishers since 2011.

Pierre Chappaz, founder of Ebuzzing, and president and CEO of the new group, is a well-known French businessman he also founded comparison site Kelkoo, which he sold to Yahoo for $650 million ten years ago. He said, “There is not enough instream inventory, so we invented outstream to run in social feeds, between paragraphs in articles, and in apps. Twitter is going the same way with video advertising, but we are super premium.”

Where’s the Digital Advertising to Get Young People Into Obamacare?


When the Affordable Care Act was signed into law in March 2010, the goal was to provide individuals who did not have health insurance with subsidies and facilitate signups through online exchanges. The exchanges opened for business in October 2013 and the deadline for signing up is March 31. You know what I haven’t seen much of since then? Digital ads for health insurance.

Health-insurance ad spending is focused on TV, to the tune of an estimated $500 million in 2014. TV ad spending dwarfs digital in most categories, but the health-care industry has been particularly slow in adopting digital advertising. According to eMarketer, healthcare and pharma has the lowest total projected online ad spend of all major U.S. industries through 2017, and the second-lowest annual growth rate.

We do see health-care providers expanding digital efforts. Cigna, for instance, has been running display and search alongside TV and print since October. Wellpoint plans on investing over $100 million this year in TV, social media and print to reach younger viewers. But it is worth pausing to consider whether the federal health-care rollout might have been different had insurers treated digital as their primary advertising medium rather than a line item in a broader campaign. Mobile and video, for instance, have yet to generate significant investment.

Microsoft on why in-app native advertising is the next big thing

Native advertising was a hot topic last year and is already causing quite a stir again in 2014. But in truth it’s a bit of a buzzword – if we take ‘native’ as meaning anything that takes on a publication’s persona, almost morphing into existing editorial, then the concept has been around for years.
