Netflix Beware? YouTube's Paid Service Might Not Stop at Music


YouTube’s forthcoming subscription music service is more than a potential rival to Spotify and Apple’s Beats. It could eventually compete with Netflix.

Google’s video service confirmed for the first time this week that it plans to introduce an ad-free subscription-based music service this summer. The product will let consumers consume music videos or audio without ads and without a live internet connection. But it could use the same tactics it’s employing to get music labels on board to also bring in video far beyond music.

The expectation has been that YouTube would roll out the music service as some type of standalone music product. That won’t be the case. It will instead be a new paid tier on the existing YouTube service, the company told Ad Age on Tuesday.

Partida entre Brasil e México é 2ª mais tuitada da Copa

Com mais de 8,9 milhões de tuítes, o jogo entre Brasil e México desta terça-feira ganhou o título de segundo mais tuitado desta Copa do Mundo. A partida, que encerrou sem nenhum gol para ambos os lados, teve como ponto alto a defesa do goleiro mexicano Ochoa, em uma jogada que foi finalizada pelo jogador brasileiro Thiago Silva – o momento rendeu cerca de 243 mil tuítes por minuto.

Entre os jogadores mais citados estiveram o goleiro mexicano, Javier Hernández e Andrés Guardado, além de Neymar, Thiago Silva e Fred (provavelmente devido a sua fraca atuação, que foi digna de memes internet afora).

Workshop9

Há quantos anos ouvimos que “esse é o ano das mídias sociais no Brasil”? Só que a tecnologia continua avançando, as pessoas mudam junto e as marcas ficam perdidas perseguindo a próxima grande novidade.

Este workshop irá mostrar como usar redes sociais como plataforma para gerar resultados de negócio para marcas, sob uma nova lente que este mercado vive há poucos anos: as redes sociais agora são mídia de massa. Mais do que “falar com os influenciadores” vamos encarar cada pessoa como um influenciador para seu grupo de amigos, com as marcas contando as histórias certas para cada uma destas pessoas.

>> INSCREVA-SE!

McCann Promotes John Mescall to Global ECD

This morning McCann Worldwide announced that John Mescall will be its newest Global Executive Creative Director.

Mescall, who currently serves as ECD at McCann Australia (but did not appear in this brilliant piece of satire), will relocate to New York “in the coming months” to join fellow GECDs James Dawson-Hollis and Bill Wright; the move is part of McCann Global Creative Chairman Rob Reilly‘s efforts to consolidate and strengthen the larger agency’s creative leadership.

Reilly had this to say about Mescall, who led independent Australian shop SMART before its 2011 acquisition by McCann:

“John’s all talent and no ego and he has helped lead McCann Australia to become one of the best agencies in the world.”

The new GECD himself writes:

“It’s a seriously exciting time at McCann. The opportunity to work closely with Rob was just too big not to take, and we’re very aligned on the kind of work we seek to do.”

Mescall has earned a plethora of awards throughout his career, most recently scoring 5 Grand Prix for Metro Trains’ 2014 “Dumb Ways to Die” PSA campaign (which is now being used to sell life insurance).

Grey Asks ‘Why Are Women Always Apologizing?’ for Pantene

Last year, Pantene made waves with their “Labels” ad from BBDO Guerrero in Manila, which explored how men and women are labeled differently for the same behavior. “Labels” gained over 46 million views and plenty of attention outside its home country of the Philippines. Now, Grey has issued a new campaign that acts as something of spiritual successor for the brand, which continues to explore gender norms. This time, Grey asks, “Why are women always apologizing?” which appears onscreen during the spots’ opening moments to prepare viewers for what’s to come.

Viewers are presented with women apologizing in a variety of scenarios, starting with a woman at work diminishing her own argument by asking, “Sorry, can I ask a stupid question?” Another woman apologizes when a man sits down next to her and encroaches on her space; a mother apologizes for handing off her baby to the father when he returns home from work; a woman says “Sorry, you go first” when a man interrupts her. Following these scenarios a new message appears on screen: “Don’t be sorry. Be strong and shine.” The ad then doubles back on the women from the initial scenarios, who are now presented as assertive and unapologetic. Unfortunately, the message is compromised when several of the women say “Sorry not sorry,” which is still sort of an apology. Maybe Grey just wanted to jump on the bandwagon of the popular hashtag (and Naya Rivera song) or prove that Pantene is hip to Internet culture, but it seriously undermines the impact of “Not Sorry.”

As Adweek reports, Pantene is supporting the campaign with the Shine Strong Fund, “which seeks to educate and enable women to overcome bias and societal expectations as well as celebrate strong women.” The Shine Strong Fund will collaborate with the American Association of University Women, to underwrite monetary grants and help women in college gain access to influential leaders. It’s a nice initiative, and a good way for Pantene to really get behind their recent campaigns. Stick around for credits after the jump. (more…)

Slingshot, o Snapchat do Facebook

O Facebook acaba de criar uma alternativa para trocar fotos e vídeos com os seus amigos, sem precisar postar na rede social. É o Slingshot, novo app lançado pela empresa de Mark Zuckerberg, que surfa na onda do compartilhamento privado de informações, no mesmo esqueminha do Snapchat. Depois de um terminado tempo, o vídeo ou imagem compartilhada desaparece.

A diferença fica por conta da exigência de reciprocidade: para ver um determinado shot, é preciso enviar outro. Ou seja, só é possível ver o que seus amigos estão compartilhando se você também se dispuser a se expor, seja com selfies, fotos ou vídeos.

Slingshot-App-vs-Snapchat

É interessante reparar que o Slingshot chega para tentar reter aquela parte mais jovem da audiência, que não quer mais compartilhar informações por broadcast no Facebook, mas sim trocar mensagens de ‘um para um’, ou de ‘um para alguns poucos selecionados’, por assim dizer, através de aplicativos próprios, como o WhatsApp ou o Snapchat. Essa tendência de preferir meios mais ‘privados’ de comunicação, que já tinha sido percebida por alguns analistas, foi recentemente confirmada no relatório da Kleiner Perkins, apresentado por Mary Meeker no mês passado. Uma boa jogada estratégica do Facebook. Basta saber se irá pegar.

Depois de um deslize da equipe de desenvolvimento que ‘vazou’ o app antes do tempo, o Slingshot agora foi lançado oficialmente e pode ser encontrado gratuitamente na App Store e também na Google Play.
