Droga5, Chobani Sued for Using the Word ‘How’

During last year’s Super Bowl, Droga5 and Chobani told us that “how matters.

How much does how matter? According to inspirational author/business consultant Dov Seidman, it matters quite a lot. Seidman, whose best-selling book bore the title How: Why How We Do Anything Means Everything, filed suit against both agency and client yesterday for “trademark and service mark infringement and unfair competition.”

He seems to think they intentionally ripped him off, and he bases his claim on this tweet, posted just before the campaign went live:
@DovSeidman Thanks for inspiring the world to care about “how.” Can you help inspire the food industry, too? http://t.co/erVULG89Hp

— Chobani (@Chobani) January 29, 2014
You may notice that Seidman’s company LRN retweeted the message before declaring it to be lawsuit-worthy. A little extra explanation after the jump.

R/GA Reveals Epic World Cup Spot for Beats

With the World Cup a week away, the barrage of World Cup-themed ads isn’t showing any sign of slowing down, and this 5 minute spot R/GA put together for Beats might be the biggest one yet. Indeed, as Adweek writes, the spot seems to “Out-Nike Nike.”

Entitled “The Game Before The Game,” the ad tackles the pre-game rituals of stars such as Brazil’s star Neymar Da Silva Santos, Jr. His pre-game ritual involves talking with his father, whose inspiring pep talk is the heart of the ad. Also featured in “The Game Before The Game” are Spain’s Cesc Fabregas, who kisses the ring he received from his girlfriend precisely four times; Mexico’s prayerful Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez; and Uruguay’s Luis Suarez, who kisses a tattoo on his wrist of his children’s names. Elsewhere stars such as Bacaray Sagna, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Blaise Matudi, Daniel Sturridge, Jozy Altidore, Mario Gotze and Robin Van Persie can be seen slipping on their Beats headphones and doing their thing. Tthe spot is set to “Jungle” by Jamie N Commons & The X Ambassadors and st times takes on the feel of a music video, which makes a lot of sense given the brand. Interspersed with the players’ preparations are fans performing their own pre-game rituals. This includes a slew of celebrity cameos, such as Lil Wayne, Lebron James, Serena Williams, Stuart Scott, and Nikki Minaj. Check out the spot for yourself above, and stick around after the jump for partial credits. continued…

Yieldbot Raises $18 Million to Advance Search-Style Display Buying


Yieldbot, a New York based ad-tech company that lets advertisers buy display ads via search-style keywords, has raised a $18 million series B round of funding, the company announced today.

Though Wall Street has been down on ad-tech lately, investors have not. The round, led by SJF Ventures, comes during a week of massive ad-tech funding announcements, with automated ad buying platform MediaMath and marketing technology company Yext netting $73.5 million and $50 million respectively.

“We want to keep scaling the business up,” said Yieldbot CEO Jonathan Mendez, telling Ad Age he plans to hire more support and sales people with the funds, “and maybe do a little marketing too.”

As Changes Loom for Turner, Execs Eye Fox's Departing Reilly


Kevin Reilly, the departing head of entertainment at Fox Broadcasting, is among the executives Time Warner is considering to be president of Turner Entertainment Networks, a person familiar with the matter said.

Mr. Reilly, 51, said last week he would leave the Twenty First Century Fox unit by the end of June, following a drop in ratings. New York-based Time Warner is aiming to fill the post by year end, said the person, who sought anonymity because the deliberations are private.

Bringing in Mr. Reilly would add a veteran programming executive at Turner, operator of the TBS and TNT cable networks, along with TruTV, TCM and the Cartoon Network. TBS and Turner carry original shows including “Conan,” “Rizzoli & Isles” and “Falling Skies,” and are among the most-watched pay-TV channels, according to Nielsen data.

Geez, Amy Poehler is a Terrible Soccer Coach


Every weekday, we bring you the Ad Age/iSpot Hot Spots, new and trending TV commercials tracked by iSpot.tv, a company that catalogs, tags and measures activity around TV ads in real time. The New Releases ran on TV for the first time yesterday. The Most Engaging ads are showing sustained social heat, ranked by SpotShare scores reflecting the percent of digital activity associated with each one over the past week. See the methodology here.

Among the new releases, Pepsi promotes its limited-time offerings of vanilla and wild cherry colas made with real sugar, Apple sells the iPhone as a fitness device in a spot that Creativity made an Editor’s Pick today (read their write-up for the unexpected backstory on that weird soundtrack), and Amy Poehler is an insufferable soccer coach in her latest Old Navy ad (part of an ongoing campaign).

As always, you can find out more about the making of the best commercials on TV at Ad Age’s Creativity.
