Hasta La Creative!

Cassandra é modelo e estudante, e há anos lida com uma agressiva acne. Cheri é técnica assistente de um time de vôlei, e sofre de vitiligo. Rico é modelo e DJ, e muitas pessoas o consideram diferente por conta de sua pele, coberta por tatuagens. Todos eles resolveram “sair do armário” na série “Camo Confession”, que a Tuxedo de Montreal criou para a marca de maquiagem Dermablend Professional.

Em cada um destes emocionantes depoimentos, os participantes explicam que maquiagem, para eles, não tem nada a ver com vaidade, mas sim como uma forma de encaixarem no meio social.

No caso de Cassandra, não bastasse a baixa auto-estima causada pela acne, ela ainda foi obrigada a conviver com o bullying, ouvindo todo tipo de absurdos ao longo dos anos. Por muito tempo, ela admite que usou a maquiagem para esconder o problema, mas hoje aprendeu a usá-la como forma de se expressar.

A história de Cheri também não tem sido fácil. Depois de ser diagnosticada com vitiligo, passou a ter de conviver com a curiosidade das pessoas e, para conseguir fazer com que as pessoas enxergassem além de seu problema, optou pelo uso da maquiagem. Já Rico incentiva as pessoas a se orgulharem de quem são, sem ligar para o que os outros pensam ou dizem.

Unlike the CEO’s of the Big Three automakers who flew corporate jets to Washington before begging for taxpayer billions, General Motors CEO Mary Barra was smart enough to fly commercial when she took the Congressional hot seat Tuesday.

From a crisis PR standpoint, Ms. Barra did the right things Tuesday. Seated alone at a table with no lawyers whispering in her ear, she apologized over the “tragic” situation, gave short direct answers when she could and pledged the “new” GM would do the right thing in the future.

She met briefly with grieving families of the victims, who filled up several rows at the hearing. She announced GM had hired noted attorney Kenneth Feinberg (who handled the fund for victims of the 9/11 terror attacks and Boston Marathon Bombing), to decide how to compensate owners and families.

We’ve received confirmation that after spending the last three years as executive managing director at McGarryBowen’s New York office, working primarily on JPMorgan Chase, Susan Canavari is leaving said agency to work for said client. Still confirming approximate position (something in the realm of brand building officer) with the aforementioned financial institution, but we’ve been told that a transition process is underway at McGarryBowen, which cannot yet name Canavari’s replacement.

Prior to joining McGarryBowen, Canavari, you may recall, spent four years at DigitasLBi, where she last served as EVP/marketing on all non-American Express accounts and led the latter agency’s Kraft Foods One team.

Last week, we were teased that Evian would be unleashing another dancing baby video featuring Spider-Man. Today, it’s been released and while it’s not quite as fun as the original, it’s still got a bit of a kick.

As he swings thought the city, Spider-Man meets a miniature version of himself and, like in the original, the two have a face to face dance off.

Currently stuck at 301+ views, the video has 244 likes and many positive comments. People seem to like the tie in and are profusely professing their love for Spidey.

Here’s Razorfish’s response to rumors that 20-30 employees were laid off last week:

“In order to ensure our clients continue to access best-in-breed services that operate at the intersection of technology, media and creative, we sometimes need to modify our staffing structure. Less than 2% of our North American staff was affected by the change. We continue to remain committed to recruiting new talent and skill sets in support of our clients’ ever-evolving needs.”

Russian billionaire Evgeny Lebedev added broadcast television to his U.K. media empire this week, with the launch of the capital’s first 24-hour channel, London Live.

Aimed at 16-to-34-year-old Londoners, London Live has been heavily promoted in Mr. Lebedev’s newspapers: the Independent, the i, and, most prominently in the London Evening Standard, which dedicated its first five pages to the launch yesterday.

Mr. Lebedev, 33, held a launch party at his London home, reportedly attracting VIPs including U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, actors Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley, and other influential figures from the worlds of politics, media and entertainment, as well as the editors of his three newsapers.
