Paul Smith "Limited Edition Football" (2014) 1:45 (UK)

This may be the most blasphemous thing I could say but this might be the best World Cup spot this year. And it isn’t even a World Cup spot.

Hooters Taps IPG Media Agency Initiative

Actual Daily Beast Headline: 'If Kate Middleton's Butt Could Speak'


On the homepage of The Daily Beast right now, a headline beckons: “If Kate Middleton’s Butt Could Speak.” How could I not click on that?

Actually, the full title of the piece, which was published early this morning, is “If Kate Middleton’s Butt Could Speak: It’s Time Royal Princesses Led Visible, Voluble Public Lives,” but for those additional words, you need to click through to the full thing. I’ll note that the piece, by Tim Teeman, has little to do with Kate Middleton’s butt, though it does reference the recent controversy over the publication of a Marilyn Monroe-esque upskirt shot of Middleton while in Australia, made possible by a gust of wind stirred up by a helicopter.

Rather, Teeman offers a thoughtful essay about the media-manufactured rivalry between Kate and the soon-to-be-Queen Letizia of Spain, as well as a powerful meditation about their roles as largely mute accessories to gilded royal conglomerates. “There’s nothing the media likes more than women fighting one another,” he writes, “particularly if the media can dictate the terms of that fight because those involved are royal and rarely stirred to comment. Without words, royalty, even royal bums, become symbols. Without commanding, distinguishing words from their mouths, the narrative can be wholly invented for Kate and Letizia.”

Metaleiros usam cabeleira como ingresso em show beneficente

Imagina quem costuma cultivar uma longa e natural cabeleira? Os metaleiros. Foi pensando neles que a agência Ogilvy & Mather do México decidiu criar o Hair Fest, festival que reuniu bandas de metal em prol das crianças da “Casa de la Amistad”, que conseguem superar melhor o tratamento de câncer ao usar perucas para disfarçar a carequinha.

hairfest

Com um público certeiro desse, o valor do ingresso é que era curioso: quem fizesse a doação de no mínimo 25 cm de comprimento e de cabelos sem tintura teria acesso gratuito ao show de 9 bandas, em um festival de 8 horas de duração. Teve quem topou cortar bons pedaços ou doar quase todo o cabelo e ficarem eles carecas, já que facilmente podem deixar o cabelo crescer depois.

hairfest2

Na iniciativa do Hair Fest, foram arrecadadas mechas de cabelo suficientes para a confecção de 107 perucas infantis, o equivalente a um ano inteiro de doações!

Se você ficou emocionado com a iniciativa, saiba que existem entidades no Brasil que também recebem doações de cabelos, em quantidades até menores. A Rapunzel Solidária, por exemplo, recebe por correio mechas de pelo menos 15cm de comprimento – o que significa que, em alguns casos, o corte nem precisa tirar todo o comprimento, apenas uma parte dele.

No caso do Hair Fest, os metaleiros não puderam ‘bater cabelo’, mas certamente saíram de lá satisfeitos com os shows e, melhor ainda, com a certeza de que haviam feito uma boa ação.

United Bids ‘Namaste’ to Global Travel

If you feel like getting in the multilingual mood, here’s a new spot from McGarryBowen for United Airlines dubbed “Pecan,” which features an assortment of languages including Italian, French and Japanese. The globe-trotting spot hypes the airline’s travels to Europe, Asia and Central America, starring one character who knows his way around foreign languages. It’s breezy, quick and painless and includes the classic “Rhapsody” theme, but we do miss the most recent United theme redux. Credits after the jump.

Cannes Entry-Fee Haul Rises to $26.2 Million


The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity brought in a whopping $26.2 million in entry fees this year, according to an Ad Age calculation based on the number of entries in various categories and base entry fees for those categories, but excluding late-entry fees.

That’s up from $24 million in entry fees last year, according to Ad Age’s calculation at the time.

Cannes Lions entries reached a record high this year, thanks in part to (yet another) new category, Product Design, which is meant to recognize the applied use of physical products to help a brand communicate its ethos, as well as the product’s ability to improve lives. The annual festival saw 37,427 entries from 97 countries this year, a 4.4% increase from 2013.

Saatchi LA Names Jason Schragger Chief Creative Officer


Saatchi & Saatchi Los Angeles has named Jason Schragger its chief creative officer.

The shop hadn’t had a chief creative officer until now. Executive creative directors Margaret Keene and Chris Adams had been running creative for the agency, but Mr. Adams left in November. Ms. Keene will now report to Mr. Schragger, although his purview will in some ways extend beyond the agency itself.

The agency first decided to create the post in December, when Toyota announced a “more cohesive marketing approach” and placed separate agencies into a model referred to as “Total Toyota,” Saatchi said in a statement.

J&J's World Cup Campaign Barely Mentions Soccer or World Cup


No soccer players, no references to Rio de Janiero or Brazil. Is this any way to launch a World Cup campaign?

Johnson & Johnson thinks so. The official health-care sponsor of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil is kicking off its U.S. marketing effort for the games by hardly mentioning them. Instead, it’s breaking an online video today called “Once Upon a Care” that asks Mom and Dad if they are doing enough to inspire their children to care about others.

JWT, New York and production company Rooster tapped children’s book author Patricia Lakin to conduct interviews with kids at New York City schools. She asks them: “Why do you think it’s important for you to care?” J&J took their answers — about growing up to become firefighters and nurses who help those in need — and turned them into illustrated children’s books.
