NBA’s Silver: Ads on Player Jerseys Are ‘Inevitable’


DANA POINT, Calif.– New NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said placing corporate logos on player jerseys is “inevitable” — and will probably happen within the next five years.

“I think it’s inevitable,” said Mr. Silver at the 2014 IMG World Congress of Sports presented by SportsBusiness Daily/Journal.

Corporate logos on players jerseys are commonplace in the British Premier League and throughout international soccer, noted Mr. Silver. With U.S. TV coverage of these leagues already bringing the sight of these jerseys into American living rooms, ads on players jerseys are an idea whose time has come, he said.

Screen Colons Canada: Seats

Fifty: the recommended age to get screened for colon cancer, which is up to 95% treatable if detected early. Learn more today at www.screencolons.ca

Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death. Why? Colons are hardly a hot topic around the dinner table. But the bigger reason is Canadians simply don’t know they need to be screened for colon cancer starting at age 50. So this elegant, visually-driven campaign makes that point in a manner unlike most PSAs. It does not employ the hackneyed trinity of shock, shame or fear. It is print, OOH, posters, and SEATS (hockey arenas, public transportation, doctors’ offices). This campaign encourages Canadians to get screened at age 50. This cancer is 90% curable if caught early. And it’s an equal opportunity cancer, affecting both men and women. So the message if for all Canadians.

Smartphone ultrapassa a TV e se torna a ‘primeira tela’

Esqueça essa história de que os celulares e tablets são a ‘segunda tela’ de quem está assistindo TV. O público já rebaixou as televisões para a segunda divisão, dando mais atenção aos gadgets mobile do que à tela compartilhada na sala de casa.

De acordo com o estudo AdReaction, da Millward Brown, nos EUA as pessoas gastam em média 151 minutos diários nos seus smartphones, contra 147 minutos em frente à TVs. Na China, a situação é ainda mais drástica: são 170 minutos nas telinhas, contra apenas 89 na frente da televisão. No Brasil, os gadgets mobile também já fazem parte da ‘série A’ da nossa atenção.

Os brasileiros passam 149 minutos por dia em seus smartphones e em média 113 minutos na TV.

Os horários de uso da TV também têm picos definidos, enquanto o uso de celulares, tablets e até do laptop é bem mais estável.

A pesquisa, que entrevistou mais de 12 mil usuários entre 16 e 44 anos, em 30 países, também revela que apenas 35% das pessoas tem o costume de usar dois dispositivos ao mesmo tempo. Durante esse consumo simultâneo de duas telas, 62% dos entrevistados globais alegaram estar acompanhando coisas diferentes e não relacionadas, em um comportamento definido como ‘staking’, um empilhamento de atividades.

Em relação a anúncios, os usuários mobile globais estão bastante receptivos com vídeos curtos, de cerca de 5 ou 10 segundos. “Os vídeos mobile estão prontos para explodir”, reforça Joline McGoldrick, diretora de pesquisa da Millward Brown em entrevista ao AdAge.

Como o Oscar e os Talk Shows norte-americanos estão resolvendo o maior problema que já enfrentaram

Há poucas semanas, Jimmy Fallon substituiu Jay Leno no Tonight Show e transformou o programa num desfile de pesos pesados, cheio de participação ativa do apresentador e extremamente ágil. Adoro Leno e estranhei um pouco, mas esperei. Então chega o Academy Awards apresentado por Ellen DeGeneres, “a moça da selfie épica”, repleto de contato com o público, live tweet, pizza e tom leve. Entendi a ligação entre as duas coisas enquanto conversava com uma colega inglesa: é reposicionamento a longo prazo. E faz todo o sentido, afinal de contas, quem vai alavancar a audiência desse pessoal nas próximas décadas?

A primeira dica foi dada por Jerry Seinfeld no sofá do Tonight Show, ele e Fallon conversavam sobre algum momento do passado deles e, enquanto imitava Seinfeld, o apresentador mencionou o conselho que recebeu do amigo: “esse trabalho [como host] é quase eterno” e o escolhido vai passar entre 20 e 30 anos naquela cadeira, tocando um programa diário.

A audiência tradicional dos talk shows já está garantida, mas vive uma redução – assim como quase tudo na TV tradicional – por conta do sucesso dos programas online. Jimmy Kimmel tem martelado esse nicho há anos e Fallon entendeu o recado. Ele tem uma missão: construir uma nova base de fãs, que, assim como Sienfeld disse, ficará com ele ao longo das próximas 3 décadas.

Então, por trás de todo aquele envolvimento, de torneios de lip synch, palhaçadas e stand up comedy, há um objetivo maior. A renovação. Exatamente a mesma mentalidade que alimentou o Oscar 2014, com Ellen. Ela interagiu com o público, fez de tudo para se transformar na representante da audiência no palco (embora seja tão famosa e rica quanto as pessoas sentadas no Dolby Theatre na noite do Oscar) e quebrar a parede que sempre separou os apresentadores do público nas grandes premiações.

A audiência tradicional dos talk shows vive uma redução – assim como quase tudo na TV – por conta do sucesso dos programas online

Resultado? 47.3 milhões de espectadores (8% melhor que 2013), o maior número desde 2000, com apresentação de Billy Crystal. De quebra, Jimmy Kimmel apostou em remakes de vídeos do YouTube e bateu seu próprio recorde com o programa especial subindo 22% em relação ao ano passado.

A velha guarda desceu a lenha tanto em Fallon “um exibido que briga por atenção com seus entrevistados, em vez de falar com eles” quanto em Ellen “que, em certo ponto, desistiu de apresentar e só se preocupava com a internet”. É um choque de realidades e o recorde da selfie (que se aproximou de 4 milhões de RTs), aliada à movimentação nas mídias sociais – devidamente reconhecidas durante a apresentação – deixam claro a disposição dos produtores em aceitar as mudanças e jogar no mesmo time.

O caminho ainda será longo, claro. Ano que vem tudo pode mudar no Oscar? Sim. Mas os resultados e a presença online devem ser o suficiente para evitar qualquer mudança no rumo. Esse foi o Oscar descontraído e jovial que prometeram com Anne Hathaway e James “Locão” Franco, sem a pompa solene ou aquele puxa-saquismo infinito. Há quem goste. Há quem critique. Sempre vai ser assim.

Fallon, por outro lado, segue firme e forte, fazendo um strike atrás do outro e se consolidando. Ele é versátil, pode agregar como atração secundária e tem história com muitas das grandes celebridades por ter convivido com elas por muito tempo, logo, é uma mistura promissora. Resta a ele encontrar esse público logo, antes que as grandes cartas sejam queimadas e ele seja obrigado e gerenciar o que construir nesse início triunfante.

É hora de renovação. E todo mundo sabe. Você gostou dessa nova linha de raciocínio tanto do Oscar quanto do Tonight Show?

McKinney Sticks it to iPad, Kindle for Samsung Galaxy Pro

McKinney just launched a new campaign for Samsung’s Galaxy Pro series called “It Can Do That.” If that sounds a lot like Apple’s “There’s An App For That” 2009 campaign for the iPhone 3G, Samsung would probably welcome the comparison. Their 60-second television spot takes on Samsung’s competitors in a very direct way.

The first spot in the campaign — also called “It Can Do That” — showcases the Galaxy Pro’s multi-functional capabilities, while disgruntled users of the iPad and Kindle ask “It can do that?” They also take on a Microsoft Surface user, making fun of the fact that his “tablet” has a keyboard, battery dock and mouse. The spot concludes with the tagline, “The Next Big Thing Is Here.” While the approach borders on being a little smarmy and self-satisfied, it certainly does make the competition look bad by pointing out situations where Samsung’s product can do things that their competitors just can’t. You just have to wonder, and this always seems to be the problem with this kind of approach, if they could have pulled this off without making Samsung users seem kind of mean about it. Stick around for credits after the jump. continued…

This Amazing Ad for Guide Dogs Makes You Realize How Much They Really Do

Out of nowhere, we're suddenly seeing some pretty incredible ads for guide dogs.

In January, we had the Norwegian Association of the Blind's amusing PSA with the menagerie of nondog guide animals. Now, we swing in the other direction completely with this intense ad for Holland's Royal Dutch Guide Dog Foundation. We won't spoil it, but this remarkable ad will leave you with even more appreciation for dogs and the skills they bring in communicating with humans.

The spot is by ad agency Selmore Amsterdam and Caviar director Rogier Hesp.


    



That Selfie, Spontaneity and Youth: Samsung’s CMO at 4A’s Transformation


Samsung has been making a habit of devising and executing marketing ideas as quickly as possible, Samsung CMO Todd Pendleton said at the 4A’s Transformation conference on Wednesday. When the marketing group announced the upcoming introduction of the Galaxy S5 phone, for example, the company watched the reaction from consumers and media before starting on a campaign — even though the work would need to be in market just weeks later.

The process was similar the morning after the Oscars, where Ellen DeGeneres generated the selfie seen ’round the world using a Samsung phone, according to Mr. Pendleton, a young 40-something who took the stage in red sneakers and a trendy jacket.

“The next morning I was in the shower and said we’re going to do a donation,” he said. “I called my boss and within minutes we made it happen.” Samsung donated $3 million — for the photo’s 3 million-plus retweets — to charities of Ellen’s choice.

Pay-TV Subscriptions Fall for First Time as Streaming Gains


The number of Americans who pay for TV through cable, satellite or fiber services fell by more than a quarter of a million in 2013, the first full-year decline in TV customers, research firm SNL Kagan said.

The tally of video subscribers across the entire pay-TV industry, which includes Comcast, DirecTV and Verizon Communications, dropped by 251,000 last year to about 100 million in the U.S., the firm said in a statement today.

Fewer people are buying traditional TV subscriptions as online-streaming services from companies like Netflix and Amazon offer cheaper alternatives. Though satellite and telecommunications providers continued to gain users, they didn’t add enough to make up for the losses of cable companies.
