Powerful Anti-Violence Film Wants You to Unload Gun Companies From Your 401(k)
Posted in: Uncategorized
Unload Your 401(k), a powerful three-minute film from Grey New York, takes aim at a new target in the debate over guns in America: the pocketbooks of firearms companies.
The video supports UnloadYour401K.com, a site where consumers can find out if their retirement portfolios include gun manufacturers. A coalition of 20 organizations, led by Campaign to Unload and States United to Prevent Gun Violence, is behind the initiative.
The film doesn't waste time trying to persuade gun rights advocates. Instead it makes its appeal to those already passionately opposed to gun violence, and perhaps those on the fence, imploring them to take action. The case for divestment, a tactic that played a role in ending South African Apartheid and changing U.S. tobacco policy, is mainly made by the parents, relatives and teachers of young people killed and maimed at by gun violence.
"They're making money off the backs of dead people," says Lori Haas, whose daughter was shot at Virginia Tech. "I just can't tolerate it. And I won't let my money support it."
"This industry is not going to respond to moral sentiments, that's clear," says Eric Milgram, the father of two Sandy Hook survivors. "They will respond to economic pain."
A simple, low-tech wall of remembrance with a timeline, photos and clips (starting at Columbine, 15 years ago) is a visual focal point in a presentation uncluttered by news footage or reenactments.
The most stirring testimony comes from trauma surgeon Dr. Sheldon Teperman: "I'm covered in blood. We've done everything we can do and someone has to go tell the family. So they are sitting in a waiting room, and I know how this works, so I steel myself for this, because I know that when I walk into the room … I'm going to snatch all of the light and all of the hope and all of the air from that parent's life.
"There is a lot of profit to be made for all of this sorrow, all of this death and all of this destruction. Ultimately, it is all about the money."

Facebook irá oferecer métricas para vídeos divulgados na rede social
Posted in: UncategorizedCom o interesse por conteúdos em vídeo aumentando cada vez mais, o Facebook não quis ficar para trás e anunciou que vai liberar em breve uma série de métricas sobre os vídeos compartilhados nas páginas da rede social.
Hoje em dia, os administradores já têm acesso ao número de pessoas que começaram a assistir um determinado vídeo, mas dentro de algumas semanas, poderão também saber quais foram as visualizações únicas de um conteúdo, a duração média de cada visualização e também a retenção da audiência.
Ainda será possível saber quantas pessoas atingiram determinadas ‘porções’ do vídeo em questão – o gráfico vai mostrar quantas visualizações chegaram em 25%, 50%, 75%, 95% e 100% do vídeo, além da possibilidade de dividir demograficamente as visualizações.
Esses dados oferecem um valioso feedback para os produtores de conteúdo, que podem com isso entender melhor a sua audiência e, quem sabe, ajustar a produção de forma a reter mais audiência, aumentar o tempo de visualização, entre outros.
As métricas serão disponibilizadas para todos os vídeos, orgânicos ou promovidos, que forem postados a partir da página no Facebook. No entanto, será preciso aguardar para ter acesso às novas funcionalidades, que serão liberadas aos poucos para todas as páginas.

Nivea Magazine Ad Really Protects With Removable Bracelet That Tracks Your Child on the Beach
Posted in: Uncategorized
Taking your kid to the beach means worrying he or she will wander off when you're not looking. Enter sunscreen brand Nivea and FCB São Paolo with a campaign that basically provides you with a LoJack for your child.
Titled "Sun Band," the combination print-and-mobile execution lets you pop a bracelet out of the magazine ad, wrap it around your child's arm, download an app, sync them and set a perimeter. If your kid wanders outside the safe zone, an alarm sounds, so you can go chasing after him or her. (Presumably, if you lose your phone, too, just whip out your tablet and Find My iPhone to recover your gadget, and then your child.)
The ad ran in April in select copies of Veja Rio magazine sent to a group of subscribers. The bracelet is supposedly "humidity resistant" and reusable, though one has to wonder how much water it can really withstand.
Anyways, it's a fun idea that effectively signals the brand's devotion to protecting your offspring. If you're still not satisfied with the mechanics, you can always do it the old-fashioned way and get a harness and a leash—or, you know, just stay close and pay attention to your child.

Posted in: Uncategorized‘Lego Intern’ Lands Gig at EnergyBBDO
Posted in: UncategorizedBack in late March, one Northwestern student grabbed adland’s attention with an unorthodox resume she sent to some agencies: a Lego version of herself, complete with packaging.
Leah Bowman’s unique efforts have landed her an internship in account management at Omnicom’s Energy BBDO. “A few weeks ago I was ‘that LEGO intern girl’ but now I’m officially a BBDO Account Management Intern!” said Ms. Bowman on a caption of a photo of the Energy BBDO logo on her Imgur page.
An EnergyBBDO spokeswoman said that Ms. Bowman will start in late June. The shop will have 16 summer interns for all disciplines, including creative and account management.
Oakley CEO On Hunt for AOR and a ‘Just Do It’-Like Rallying Cry
Posted in: UncategorizedOakley is looking for a new agency to come up with its own version of Nike’s “Just Do It,” Ford’s “Go Further” or Chevrolet’s “Find New Roads.”
Oakley has narrowed down to two finalists in an agency search that initially included at least 15 shops, according to CEO Colin Baden. The winning agency will be tasked with a big job: to help Oakley come up with an internal and external rallying cry that will be used around the world to define what the sports eyewear brand is all about.
“It’s long overdue,” said Mr. Baden, who didn’t identify the two finalists. Most of Oakley’s marketing budget is devoted to sports marketing, he said. Oakley spend $11.3 million on ads in 2013, according to Kantar Media. But the CEO seems ready to spend more on a broad-based marketing strategy.
Can You Really Demystify Computer Code and Data in a Day?
Posted in: UncategorizedJohn Ridpath measures his time at tech-education consultancy Decoded as though it were a young child. “I’ve been here 21 months,” said the company’s head of product on a bright Wednesday morning in April at Decoded’s Manhattan loft space. It’s fitting, considering Decoded is still trying to figure out what it wants to be when it grows up.
A handful of people were gathered that day, mostly Decoded staff along with one paying client, to take a daylong crash course in computer programming called Code in a Day. Designed for C-suite execs or board members who want an overview of coding concepts, the nine-hour class taught by Mr. Ridpath and freelancer YK Hong promises to take students “from zero skills and confidence to coding your own app in a single day.”
Code in a Day is a pricey proposition at $1,495. “It is a premium kind of product because it’s geared to business people who don’t have a lot of time but need to get up to speed on this world quite rapidly,” said Decoded’s U.S. CEO, Liz Lukas.
