Grey Acquires Majority Stake in Peru’s Biggest Agency

WPP’s Grey Group has expanded its Latin American presence by acquiring a majority stake in Circus, the largest independent agency in Peru.

Circus, a full-service shop that includes multiple subsidiaries and a second agency called Carne, will be absorbed into existing Grey Peru operations under the Circus Grey heading. The newly formed entity will employ 200 people and serve clients including Procter & Gamble and Latin American names like Grupo Credito, Grupo Falabella, Claro and San Fernando.

Grey Latin America President/CEO Alain Groenendaal writes:
“This merger will give Grey a stronghold in one of Latin America’s most dynamic economies and our network, will in turn, empower Circus to serve Grey’s multinational clients on a regional scale.”
Here’s a nugget from the press release: according to the 2013 Effies, “Circus is the third most effective agency office in the world.”

We’ve got some commentary from Results International, the group that advised WPP on the deal, after the jump in case you’re interested.

W+K Amsterdam Calls on American Heroes for EA Sports

With the World Cup kicking off today in Brazil, W+K Amsterdam has a new campaign for EA Sport’s 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil (out now on PS3 and Xbox360), aimed to “appeal to every gamer, and to every American with a star-spangled heart.”

The campaign calls on viewers to be “The next American hero” in a 75-second online spot as Team U.S.A. faces the “Group of Death” in Brazil. “The Next American Hero,” which also appears in 15 and 30-second online advertisement iterations, features a “team of soccer heroes representing a cross-section of American society” — such as an  astronaut, cowboy, tech entrepreneur and cheerleader — take the field for the US. Set to the song “Real American,” the spot is built around the idea that with 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, the fate of the US soccer team is in your hands. And odds are they’ve got a better chance at advancing past group stage than the real team. We’ve got credits following the jump. continued…

Nothing's Sacred: 'Dumb Ways to Die' Is Now Being Used to Hawk Life Insurance

One of the lovably misguided characters from “Dumb Ways to Die” sold both his kidneys on the Internet. Now, the client behind the beloved campaign has made a similarly greedy deal with the devil.

Through a licensing deal, Metro Trains has sold the creative product pretty much wholesale to Empire Life Insurance Co., which is cutting its own ads from it. Three 30-second spots posted online play snippets from the original musical cartoon, before a female voice pipes in and says: “What’s the dumbest way of all to die? Having no life insurance.” Empire has also done some digital ads with the characters and plans “a robust merchandise program … for multiple territories worldwide,” according to the Globe and Mail.

Ugh.

Talk about dumb. As the Ethical Adman points out, it just seems lazy and greedy—plus, the viral potential of the work has already been tapped worldwide, so what’s the point? On the eve of the 2014 Cannes Lions festival, it’s also a depressing slap in the face to the ad business to see the most decorated campaign in Cannes history bastardized like this—a PSA cynically turned into for-profit campaign.

You can understand Metro Trains wanting to make a buck off the work. But stick to making plush toys, not selling the whole cartoon to some huckster.

McCann, whose Melbourne office created “Dumb Ways to Die,” declined to comment on the Empire ads and referred inquiries to Metro Trains. We left messages with Metro and will update when we hear back.

Pom's Supreme Court Win Against Coca-Cola Has Major Implications for Brands


The U.S. Supreme Court said Thursday that Pom Wonderful can take Coca-Cola to court for what Pom considers a misleading label, even though that label meets Food and Drug Administration regulations.

That will have far-reaching implications for marketers, according to observers.

The court ruled in favor of the pomegranate juice brand with an 8-0 vote, with one Justice recusing himself. Justice Anthony Kennedy delivered the opinion.

‘The Match’ Kicks Off in Samsung’s Galaxy S5 Saga

Just in time for today’s World Cup opener between Brazil and Croatia, Samsung, Psyop and Cheil have finally unveiled the first episode of “The Match,” the final installment in its ongoing sci-fi saga touting the Galaxy S5 that features the world’s best soccer players including Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi taking on an alien invasion.

Now that we’ve caught a glimpse of the alien overlord leading the extraterrestrial charge in the previous “Training” installment, it’s time to officially do battle on the pitch in this ambitious effort, which kicked off late last year via a series of teaser clips. With all the feel of a feature film cut condensed into mere minutes, the ongoing campaign can only fan a World Cup fan’s flame and has us anticipating episode two, which is coming soon. Bring it. Credits after the jump. continued…

RTO+P, Sarah Harbaugh Seek to ‘Stop Dad Pants’ for Dockers

Red Tettemer O’Connell + Partners has a new campaign for Dockers centered around a call to “Stop Dad Pants.”

The new campaign, launched in anticipation of Father’s Day, includes two new spots — “Stop Dad Pants” and “Locker Room” — approaching the dad pants dilemma from different perspectives. In “Stop Dad Pants,” Sarah Harbaugh (wife of San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh, who also appears in the ad) offers a PSA-style plea to men everywhere to end the “shapeless, pleated tragedy that too many men find themselves in every day.” Sarah shares that she understands the issue, as Jim was afflicted by dad pants for years. The second half of the spot deals with how Dockers has the dad pants antidote. “Locker Room” features a similarly tongue-in-cheek, dad-humor driven motivational speech from former NFL coach Jon Gruden, who implores men to “make this dad thing look good.” Both spots end by directing viewers to Dockers.com/StopDadPants.

The campaign also features a social component, built around the #StopDadPants hashtag. Dockers fans who use the hashtag on Twitter or Instagram accompanied by photos of themselves in Dockers will be entered for a chance to win a trip to San Francisco and a pair of tickets to a 49ers game at Levi’s Stadium. Stick around for credits after the jump. continued…

Creativity Explodes in Regulated Industries and Cannes is Finally Paying Atttention


This week marks the first-ever Cannes Lions Health festival — signaling that creative in the highly regulated industries of health and pharmaceuticals is now competitive with creative in non-regulated markets. As we’ve seen with other regulated industries over the past year — such as finance and alcohol — innovation is exploding despite inherent challenges.

Here are some of the challenges marketers in these industries face: Compliance with government regulations limits opportunities for a brand to deliver its message and correct misinformation; internal governance often prevents participation in social media and the adoption of new technology; and institutions often lack the experience to better manage risk. Marketers in regulated industries experience this pain more acutely than those in non-regulated industries, because they are inherently constrained in how they can market from the onset.

While it may seem counterintuitive, innovation has exploded in the regulated fields of finance and other regulated markets due to two complementary factors. First, consumers are taking more control of their decisions around life’s most important issues, such as money and health, through mobile and social media. This has shifted control from the brand to the consumer for the first time. And marketers in regulated industries — who had largely been on the sidelines of digital and social innovation due to compliance issues — have been able to watch and learn from the mistakes of their colleagues in less-regulated industries.

Microsoft Targets Enterprise Execs in Mobile Product and Services Push


Microsoft wants enterprise executives to know the benefits of its mobile products and services — namely Surface, Office 365 and its Azure cloud — and is now in a digital push to drive traffic to a new microsite complete with white papers, videos and infographics to aid the sales process.

Digital agency Vertic created the branded Microsoft Enterprise site, which — thanks to Microsoft’s partnership with LinkedIn — allows visitors to use their LinkedIn accounts so that content can be customized for them based on their specific roles.

For example, a company CEO would see facts and white papers about Microsoft’s mobile products and services that are relevant to him, with the end goal of garnering sales leads for the Microsoft Mobility team.
