Duracell Reviews Agencies After Incumbent Acme Quits


Procter & Gamble Co. is reviewing its Duracell creative account in North America, which longtime incumbent Acme Idea Co. has resigned despite one of the best runs in decades for what long had been a beleaguered brand.

P&G declined to comment on what agencies are participating in the review or to indicate a time frame. But the move comes after Publicis Groupe’s Saatchi & Saatchi has played a growing creative role for Duracell as digital agency since 2012, creating the “Trust Your Power” digital video campaign featuring inspirational tales from athletes. One ad featuring Seattle Seahawks running back Derrick Coleman earlier this year has racked up 22 million YouTube views and was played on the scoreboard during the NFC Championship Game in Seattle.

P&G spent just under $50 million on measured media for Duracell last year, according to Kantar Media, but a growing part of that has been digital work handled by Saatchi, with internet display accounting for more than $11 million, not counting search and other digital spending not counted by Kantar.

Pay Attention: Net-Neutrality Rules Could Shake Up Online Advertising


At this point, the topic may make your eyes glaze over. But make no mistake: net neutrality is a big deal for that ad business, and in turn, the ad-supported media ecosystem.

The companies that control the last mile of the Internet — the likes of Comcast and Time Warner Cable — would like to be able to charge different prices for the use of their pipes into the home.

But while the net neutrality debate has focused on companies that provide entertainment or services on the web — Google, Facebook and Netflix, for example — it is also a big deal for marketers that use those pipes to communicate with their customers, like Unilever and P&G.

Why CBS Shouldn't Get Too Cocky About Thursday Night Football


During the upfront season, CBS has been thumping its chest about winning an estimated $250 million Thursday Night Football package from the NFL for the 2014 season. But it might be time for CBS to wipe that victory grin off its face.

Why? Because unlike its existing decades-long deals with the NFL — and others between the league and NBC, ESPN and Fox — CBS only has a one-year contract (with an option for another) for this season’s package of eight, early-season Thursday Night games.

Fox Sports and NBC Sports, which already have NFL games on Sunday afternoon and Sunday night, are already eyeing CBS’s current package for the 2015 season. Those eight games could help establish their respective sports cable netwoks — Fox Sports 1 and NBC Sports Network — with advertisers and viewers.

PR Giant Edelman Acquires Swedish Creative Agency Deportivo


Edelman has made its largest non-PR investment yet with the acquisition of Stockholm-based creative shop Deportivo, the company said. Terms were not disclosed.

“They caught our attention over the last couple of years as they’ve made a big imprint in Sweden and in Cannes,” said Matt Harrington, global chief operating officer at Edelman. “Our hope is that they become a creative engine for Europe but bring a different creative sensibility for the firm entirely.”

Deportivo currently touts 20 staffers, just under $3 million in revenue and experience with clients such as Absolut and Philips, among other local and international marketers.
