How to Fix Ad Fraud (and Why Publishers Should Pay)


The prevalence of digital advertising fraud is a huge threat to our industry and can no longer be ignored. As an industry, we need to take immediate steps to make digital advertising fully transparent and accountable. If not, the future looks bleak for digital advertising professionals, as trust will erode and growth will cease.

Why the current industry perspective isn’t helping:

Most articles about digital fraud focus in on a number. And I understand why — the numbers are huge ($6 billion according to some reports) and stats are easier than solutions. According to another recent report, more than one-third of online ad traffic is fraudulent, and that doesn’t even touch on the two additional issues of viewability and brand safety, which are arguably equally as important.

Usain Bolt “corre” para ver a Copa no Brasil em filme da Visa

Usain Bolt empresta seu carisma e habitual simpatia para a Visa no filme criado pela Saatchi & Saatchi de Londres. Em ritmo de Copa do Mundo FIFA 2014, o velocista se dá conta de que está perdendo o evento no Brasil e começa a correr para chegar a tempo.

É claro que, para facilitar tudo, ele usa seu cartão Visa, o que permite até que ele bata uma bolinha com a rapaziada na praia, antes de chegar a seu destino.

LG revela as confissões de uma mãe

O que se passa pela cabeça de uma dona de casa, mãe e esposa, enquanto executa suas tarefas domésticas? Na campanha Mom Confessions, a LG permite que a gente ouça alguns dos pensamentos de uma mulher na faixa dos 40 anos, enquanto somos apresentados a alguns dos produtos da marca.

Apesar de os filmes terem sido considerados sexistas por algumas pessoas, a agência Hill Holliday optou por usar um humor mais irônico. Em vez de aparecer toda sorridente com seus modernos eletrodomésticos, a mulher fica divagando sobre o casamento, a juventude e até alguns pelos faciais.

É engraçadinho, basta não levar a sério.

Segundo a Lucozade, faz tanto calor no Brasil que os jogadores ingleses vão derreter

Para os ingleses – que ainda estão p* por ter que jogar em Manaus – faz tanto calor no Brasil que as pessoas derretem. Não nesse exato período do ano, pra mim, mas eu não conseguiria encontrar argumentos contra.

Criado pela Grey, esse comercial do isotônico Lucozade traz Steven Gerrard – capitão da seleção da Inglaterra – se desfazendo feito um vela acesa. A locução, feita pelo ator Benedict Cumberbatch, diz: “A? medida que a temperatura aumenta e humidade sobe; corpos enfraquecem e performances caem”.

Além do comercial, a campanha da Lucozade “recriou as condic?o?es clima?ticas do Brasil” em Londres, num local onde as pessoas podem se inscrever para experimentar nossa temperatura de 32 graus e 76% de humidade. É a chamada The Heat Zone.

Me sinto ofendido. Só 32 graus?! No verão faz 40° fácil.
