Facebook Execs on Why It's Running Its Own Ads on Facebook


If you’re an American using the most popular of social networks, chances are good you’ve seen an ad for Facebook on Facebook recently.

That’s the result of an ongoing and open-ended campaign dubbed “Where will your friends take you?” that kicked off in the U.S. in January. (It began running in the U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand a month earlier.) With the exception of a TV spot that aired on Mothers Day, the broadly-targeted campaign is limited to Facebook as a medium. Comprised of videos and static photo posts that are “sponsored” in users’ news feeds, the ads are various takes on the theme of friendship.

The work comes from Facebook’s internal creative team, The Factory — which is now up to 40 people — and agency-of-record Wieden & Kennedy. Leading the effort is Facebook’s head of brand marketing Rebecca Van Dyck and executive creative director Scott Trattner, who joined the company from TBWA/Media Arts Lab six months ago. The two are close collaborators who previously worked together on Apple, when Ms. Van Dyck was there.

Anistia Internacional lembra que sua assinatura é mais forte do que você imagina

Na época da faculdade, tive um professor que costumava falar sobre um dos principais embates éticos de um jornalista: ajudar ou fotografar, filmar, continuar trabalhando? A resposta era sempre a mesma: primeiro faça o seu trabalho, depois ajude. Porque o seu trabalho pode fazer a diferença para uma comunidade inteira, é a força de uma imagem, da sua caneta, que poderá ajudar a mudar o mundo. Com a experiência, a gente aprende que cada situação é diferente, mas que a consciência sempre vai pesar. Uma coisa é certa, entretanto: uma caneta realmente tem força, seja para fazer anotações para uma matéria, seja para assinar uma petição da Anistia Internacional.

No recente filme criado pela TBWA de Paris, e magistralmente produzido pela Troublemakers, a mensagem é exatamente essa: sua assinatura é mais forte do que você imagina. Lindo demais.

Catsies, o novo meme da Virgin Mobile

Se o objetivo era chamar a atenção, não é preciso nem dizer que a Virgin Mobile e a Mother NY conseguiram ao criar um novo meme, Catsies. A bizarra mistura de selfies com gatinhos é a nova aposta da provedora de celulares, que criou até mesmo um concurso para premiar as melhores sefies felinas, o Catsies Awardscom chancela da Samsung e seu Galaxy 5.

No vídeo acima, a equipe da Mother apresenta o projeto, enquanto coloca alguns pacientes (e entediados) gatinhos nas mais variadas situações para fotografá-los. Viagens a Paris, despedidas de solteiros, no banho…

De verdade, lá no fundo eu torço para nada disso ser sério, tipo uma brincadeirinha de 1º de abril atrasada. Ainda assim, há grandes chances de a moda pegar.

Norte-americanos entram em campo para a Copa do Mundo

Imagine todos aqueles “personagens” tipicamente norte-americanos que costumam aparecer em filmes, livros e comercias.

My Cannes Prediction: Category Chaos


Cannes, our chance to share, reward and celebrate, is the best reflection on the state of the advertising industry each year, and this week I predict it will reveal the level of chaos we all feel.

This year, advertisers will be rewarded in 17 categories, double the number of awards from just five years ago. Whether this reflects advertising as an increasingly wide discipline that requires ever more specific knowledge and skills, or whether it’s about mindlessly increasing revenue, I don’t care.

What I do care about is the meaninglessness of them all. This year I see the talk on the Croisette shifting for the first time from “There are too many awards” to “What the hell are these categories anyway?” We’ve gotten to a level of complexity so great that the Cannes organizers have a “Cannes Doctor” prominently featured on their website to help tell industry experts what sort of advertising they’ve made.

Why Metro's 'Dumb Ways to Die' Characters Are Now in Insurance Ads


When the Globe and Mail reported that Melbourne, Australia’s Metro Trains had licensed its “Dumb Ways to Die” characters to Canadian insurer Empire Life, some viewers were a little confused.

The original effort, from McCann, Melbourne, was a viral smash and swept last year’s Cannes International Festival of Creativity with an unprecedented five Grand Prix wins.

So when the characters showed up in a new campaign with the tag line, “The dumbest way to die is without life insurance,” some assumed that the insurance company simply lifted content straight from the source.

In Flashy New World of Campaign Tech, List Rental Is Still a Political Force


Media coverage of political campaigns nowadays tends to focus on things like social media, tech-savvy organizing and voter micro-targeting popularized by Obama campaign quants. But those bright, shiny objects distract from the mundane, yet proven tradition of donor-list rental.

In politics, as in business, you have to spend money to make money. And the renting of donor lists is one of the best ways to do that. In fact, contact lists gathered by the Obama for America and Romney for President campaigns are among the largest political lists around today, and they’re essentially for sale.

A perusal of Federal Election Commission reports turns up rentals of all sorts by political campaigns and advocacy groups. Sign an online petition supporting gun rights lately? Attend a campaign event? Donate to a nonprofit or political candidate? You’re on one or more lists somewhere as a result.
