Boyko Helms Lee Clow-Focused Film and Here Are Some Trailers

 

In case you haven’t heard, the ADC Festival of Art + Craft will be invading Miami Beach from April 7-9 and among the notable events that will take place is the premiere of a new documentary film series from former Ogilvy CCO/VCU Brandcenter director, Rick Boyko, dubbed InspirADCion (don’t shoot the messenger in regards to the title). The first installment in the series, which will premiere April 8, features TBWA\Chiat\Day figurehead, Lee Clow. Sure, his agency’s taken a couple of hits in the last month or so (now reportedly Crate + Barrel loss, too, which spies were hinting at last week), but Clow remains arguably one of the most notable names in the industry and will likely draw a fair amount of ADC Fest attendees to the film (well, we can only assume since we’ll be stuck in NYC). As you’ll see above and below, Clow shares his thoughts and insights on everything from agency namesakes Jay Chiat and Guy Day to Steve Jobs as well as topics like education (after the jump). Guess we’ll just have to wait for the full film to pop up online eventually.

Chipotle Really Goes Back to the Start in Its First U.K. Ad Campaign

Mother London has cooked up Chipotle's first British campaign with print ads and posters that explain how to pronounce the burrito chain's name. "Chi-Pole-Tay," "Chi-Pottle" and "Shi-Pot-Lay" are wrong. (Now they tell me. All those wasted years.) "Chi-Poat-Lay" is correct. Thanks, Chipotle!

"Delicious however you say it" is the tagline. Hey, thanks again! Cue "Farmed and Dangerous." Crank up Willie Nelson. Now, Brits can rest assured they've got the name right and savor that addictive, gut-grinding Chi-Poat-Lay bliss as the sun sinks yet lower on their once-mighty empire.

Vox Media’s The Verge Staffs Up Culture Coverage


Don’t call it a tech blog.

Vox Media’s The Verge may be best known for its Apple event liveblogs and product design deep-dives, but the site has also reviewed films like “Divergent” and reported on the U.S. military’s toxic burn pits.

Now The Verge has staffed up a new editor as it looks to go from a tech news site to a popular culture publication for people who grew up on the internet. Having spent the last three years as editor-in-chief of music and cultural magazine The Fader, Matthew Schnipper has joined The Verge as its deputy managing editor to oversee long-form feature writing and culture coverage.

How a ‘No Makeup Selfie’ Trend Suddenly Became a Cancer Awareness Effort

In an age when social media has made us even more aware of how we look at any given moment ("A picture? Now? Wait, how's my hair?"), asking women to take photos of themselves without makeup and upload them to social channels seems risky. And yet, thousands are doing it in the U.K. in the name of cancer awareness.

A "No makeup selfie" campaign grew organically in Britain in recent weeks, and ended up raising several million pounds for Cancer Research U.K., even though the group initially had nothing to do with the effort.

Author Laura Lippman apparently started the trend to support actress Kim Novak, whose looks were criticized at the Oscars. Others picked up on the idea, and somehow the hashtag #breastcancerawareness and donation links to Cancer Research U.K. started getting added to the selfies. "It's brilliant it's raising so much money. It's totally unexpected because it wasn't something we planned," a rep for the group tells Britain's Telegraph newspaper.

Because most interesting ideas need a fun spinoff, the hashtag #manupandmakeup also started trending, as men put on makeup to raise money for Prostate Cancer U.K.

Demandbase Raises $15 Million to Target Web Ads at Professional Audiences


Demandbase, a tech company that allows b-to-b marketers to tailor ads and web pages to prospects based on their corporate IP addresses, has raised another $15 million dollars, the company is expected to announce today.

The funding, led by Greenspring Associates, comes at a time of growing enthusiasm among b-to-b marketers for solutions which allow them to reach prospects outside their email inboxes — especially via digital advertising. Marketing automation software company Marketo, for instance, told Ad Age earlier this month that it plans to integrate with a programmatic buying platform within the year. Oracle may have set up a similar move with its acquisition of data management platform BlueKai earlier this month.

“I’m seeing the convergence of ad-tech and marketing tech,” said Demandbase CEO Chris Golec in an interview with Ad Age. “The reason we got into the ad side side is we wanted to solve one of the fundamentally biggest problems b-to-b marketers have, and that’s getting the right companies to their site.”

Freira descolada surpreende os jurados do The Voice e viraliza na rede

Nada como uma boa surpresa para fazer com que cada um reveja seus próprios preconceitos. Os jurados da edição italiana do The Voice foram lembrados disso com a participação da Irmã Cristina, de 25 anos, que subiu ao palco devidamente paramentada e cantou lindamente uma versão de ‘No One’, de Alicia Keys.

Nos bastidores, é bacana observar a torcida de outras irmãs, colegas de Cristina no convento, torcendo por cada um dos ‘giros’ dos jurados. Depois de ver quem estava cantando, o rapper J-Ax, primeiro jurado a girar a cadeira, incentiva seus colegas a fazerem o mesmo, e todos eles acabam se virando para ver Cristina cantar.

irmas-colegas-torcendo

A expressão da jurada Rafaella Carrá ao se dar conta de que aquela voz é de uma freira também é impagável.

surpresa-the-voice-italy

Questionada sobre o que o Papa ia achar sobre a sua participação no programa, Cristina diz que não sabe, e ainda está aguardando uma ligação dele sobre isso, mas que irá argumentar que está apenas seguindo o conselho do líder da Igreja Católica de usar os seus talentos para evangelizar. Pela emoção de J-Ax, jurado escolhido por Cristina como tutor, e pela viralização do vídeo, que já tem mais de 24 milhões de visualizações, parece que o Papa Francisco não vai ter do que reclamar.

UnHate News reúne as notícias que gostaríamos de ler

Iniciativa realizada pela UNHATE Foundation – o braço de responsabilidade social da Benetton – em parceria com o Departamento de Informação Pública da Organização das Nações Unidas,UnHate News tem uma proposta muito bacana: oferecer uma plataforma onde os usuários possam criar as manchetes que gostariam de ler, transformando as tradicionais notícias relacionadas à casos de intolerância e injustiça em mensagens positivas e de esperança.

A ideia é incentivar jovens do mundo inteiro, entre 18 e 30 anos, a mostrar seus pontos de vista sobre assuntos que consideram relevantes, transformando-os no tipo de notícias que gostariam de ler, ver e ouvir. Os interessados têm até o próximo dia 31 para enviar seu conteúdo, que será votado pela comunidade por meio do botão “curtir” do Facebook. A partir de abril, um júri irá avaliar os 100 conteúdos mais votados, selecionando 10 deles para associá-los a projetos sociais da UNHATE Foundation e do DIP da ONU.

À primeira vista, parece bastante utópico, mas a iniciativa é baseada no raciocínio de que, para se construir um mundo melhor, antes de mais nada é preciso imaginá-lo e descrevê-lo.

De qualquer maneira, vale dar uma olhada no material enviado ao site, alguns bastante divertidos, como o a selfie do presidente russo na Parada Gay. Mesmo algumas “notícias” estando muito longe da realidade, como o acesso à água limpa nos cantos mais remotos do mundo, ainda assim é um sopro de esperança.

How Playtex Mastered the Sippy Cup


When Playtex set out to reinvent the sippy cup, it learned small things in life can make big differences.

The cups placate cranky toddlers in restaurants and are part of the social glue of the play group. When they’re poorly designed or hastily reassembled, spills and other bad things happen. And while sippy cups may be one of the more important purchases parents make from a quality-of-toddler-life standpoint, they seem too inconsequential for parents to bother researching online before buying.

Hence, when 4sight, the design firm behind the makeover, began its deep dive into sippy-cup anthropology, one of the “ah ha” moments was when moms would open up a drawer that was really a window into their secret shame.
