Eleições já causam bate-boca nas redes sociais

Pode considerar aberta a temporada de discussões políticas com personalidades tuiteiras. Nesta segunda-feira, o Twitter foi palco de um bate-boca entre o perfil da Dilma Bolada, uma paródia da presidente do país, e um autoproclamado perfil oficial de Aécio Neves, candidato à presidência nas próximas eleições.

A discussão começou com uma interação proposta por uma seguidora da @dilmabr (a paródia), que provocava @aeciodigital e @eduardocampos40 sobre a quantidade de engajamento alcançado pelo perfil gerenciado por Jeferson Monteiro e as contas mais ‘automatizadas’ dos outros candidatos.

Entre um reply e outro, as contas trocaram farpas e provocações acerca da política de cada partido. Em análise no youPIX, Bia Granja destaca que essa discussão pode ser apenas a ponta do iceberg das eleições desse ano. “Estejam preparados para todo tipo de informação e desinformação nas redes sociais durante as eleições de 2014! Nada quer dizer nada, ninguém é de ninguém e perfis de campanha de candidatos à presidência não pensarão duas vezes antes de se meter em brigas com paródias de inimigos e seus fãs/seguidores nas redes sociais”, alertou.

Depois do embate, Aécio Neves declarou ao Diário do Poder que quer retirar o perfil @aeciodigital do ar, por ter postado um comentário agressivo contra a presidente da República. “Não é esse o debate que eu quero fazer”, teria dito o candidato.

É importante destacar que Jeferson Monteiro, responsável pelo perfil da Dilma Bolada, não está envolvido em nenhuma campanha política. “Chegaram a aparecer alguns convites, mas as conversas não prosseguiram”, explicou ele em entrevista ao Brainstorm#9.

Em outra ocasião, o Diário do Poder chegou a questionar o Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) sobre a paródia da presidente. O órgão esclareceu que “mesmo enaltecendo ações da presidente Dilma Rousseff, a página não configura propaganda antecipada porque não reúne as pessoas que querem Dilma concorrendo a presidente do Brasil em 2014”.

Generals Mills’ Marketers Go Back to School With CMO Addicks


Looking to get a quick read on hot marketing trends? Try suburban Minneapolis.

Specifically, the Charles A. Pillsbury Auditorium at General Mills headquarters on the first Wednesday of each month. That’s where the company’s chief marketing officer, Mark Addicks, leads about 300 of its marketers through a rapid-fire tour of what’s catching his eye in the ad world. Last Wednesday, he plowed through hits and misses involving everything from an outdoor campaign for Duracell to Taco Bell’s latest TV ads.

At first blush, none of this seems overly relevant to a company whose charge is to get consumers to eat more Cheerios, Yoplait, Green Giant and other packaged foods. But the presentation, which is part of a broader employee-education event called “First Wednesday,” exemplifies the priority General Mills puts on keeping an outside view.

Você é o que você compartilha

Para compartilhar seu novo aplicativo – sugerindo que as pessoas usem o outro lado de seus cérebros – o site State.com enfiou o dedo na ferida dos usuários de redes sociais dedicados à prática do oversharing com o vídeo You Are What You Share, ou seja, Você é o que você Compartilha.

Com direção de Alex Gorosh, o vídeo mostra os excessos cometidos por usuários de redes sociais que ficam compartilhando coisas que, na real, ninguém se importa.

É claro que é só uma provocaçãozinha básica, mais com o intuito de divertir do que gerar uma reflexão mais aprofundada sobre o assunto. Ainda assim, se isso ajudar a acender uma luz no cérebro de alguns oversharers, mal não vai fazer.

Destaque para a participação de Max Joseph, um dos criadores de Catfish, que também assina a produção executiva. Em inglês, sem legendas.

Canal+ Makes Clever Use of Its + Symbol in Redesigned Movie Posters

This Canal+ campaign, which uses the French TV channel's trademark "+" symbol as a visual cue in a series of reimagined movie posters, sure has lots of positives.

The work was created by BETC Paris to celebrate the 67th Cannes Film Festival (which runs May 14-25) and will appear as outdoor and print advertising during the event. Nine movies screening on Canal+ are featured, including Despicable Me 2, Fast & Furious 6, Star Trek Into Darkness and Man of Steel. The "+"s on these particular posters work extremely well, replacing, respectively, a Minion, tire tracks, stars in outer space and the stylized "S" on Superman's chest.

Canal+ has produced notably offbeat advertising in recent years, including ads with bears and dwarf clowns (via BETC) and a mockumentary about the guy behind Hollywood's most famous scream (via FCB).

The original poster artwork for many of the films in this latest campaign was intricate and memorable. (Trek's was quite dynamic, casting the outline-shape of the Star Fleet uniform badge as a dramatic "window" framing device.) Even so, the simplicity of Canal+'s sleek, stripped-down approach offers an uncluttered, clever homage that ultimately amounts to addition by subtraction.
