Rumo a 2016, Nike lembra que “O Amanhã Começa Agora”

Há algumas semanas, bem no início da Copa do Mundo, a Nike colocou no ar a campanha Ouse Ser Brasileiro.O momento era de descrença: pouca gente acreditava que o evento iria dar certo por aqui. Narrado por Ayrton Senna, o filme incentivava os brasileiros a seguirem em frente, porque um dia e de alguma maneira, chegaríamos lá.

Com o fim da Copa, um balanço até que positivo de quem participou e um gosto amargo deixado pelo desempenho da Seleção Brasileira, a Nike não deixa a peteca cair e mira em 2016, lembrando que O Amanhã Começa Agora em mais um filme da mesma campanha. 

Sem narração, apenas a trilha de Andy Quin para acompanhar imagens de atletas como Leandrinho, Anderson Varejão, Ana Claudia Lemos, Yane Marques, Maria Clara e Carol Salgado, que revelam as emoções antes, durante de depois de uma competição.

A criação leva, mais uma vez, a assinatura da Wieden+Kennedy São Paulo, com produção da PBA Cinema.

We've Just Discovered Business Pogs, and the Ad Makes Us Want to Order 10,000 of Them

Are you tired of plain old traditional self-promotion? Business cards? What is this, the 1980s?

No, clearly this is the 1990s, and you need to log on to your personal computer right now and design your very own Business Pogs!

Remember pogs? Basically, they were little cardboard circles with pictures on them that were a fad in the early ’90s, lasting about as long as the Funky Bunch before Marky Mark married Mark Wahlberg.

With this service (the amazingly retro video below and associated website actually date back to 2012…how are we just discovering these treasures?) you can get all kinds of cool designs on them: 8 balls, yin yangs, cobras, skulls! And your very own name, phone number and electronic mail address!

What’s that? You want to “go viral with QR codes”? Well you’ve found your place. 

This seems legit too, but the minimum order is $100.

So, if the GIFs above weren’t enough, take a look below at the full video, in all of its faux ’90s glory. As of press time, the folks at Business Pogs could not be reached for comment. We’ll try again in a year or two. 



Sponge Popsicles

Le duo d’artistes danois PUTPUT a conçu la série très colorée « Popsicles » qui réunit des photos d’éponges sous la forme de sucettes. Certaines paraissent appétissantes, d’autres plus curieuses mais toujours attrayantes. Un joli détournement des sucettes, à découvrir en images dans la galerie.

Five Ways Good Design Can Help Your Business


Good design is good business. Now more than ever this well-worn phrase, coined by long-time IBM Chairman-CEO Thomas Watson Jr., is worth repeating. In an increasingly competitive business landscape, design is the new battleground and the success of your business depends on it.

Still design remains an elusive concept. Many equate it with aesthetics, but good design is much more. Steve Jobs described design as “the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.” In other words, design is the character of the thing you make or do. And it’s that character that can attract and retain customers.

The power of design lies in its ability to express the intention of a product in a way that elicits a positive emotional response. It is not enough for your product or service to do what it promises; it must do so while winning consumers’ hearts and minds. But harnessing that power requires more than hiring an agency or a team of designers. It means building a design-focused business.

Heineken usa redes sociais para mapear as baladas ao redor do mundo

Pode até não ser das ideias mais novas que rolam por aí, mas ainda assim não deixa de ser útil. Dentro da campanha Cities of the World, a Heineken criou junto com a R/GA de Londres uma ação em redes sociais para mapear os melhores lugares para se divertir ao redor do mundo. Podem ser bares, restaurantes ou até mesmo karaokês. O que importa é que o local esteja com tudo.

No Twitter, o perfil @wherenext passa algumas dicas, que podem compartilhadas em diversas redes sociais usando #wherenext também como hashtag.

Basicamente, a ideia é saber em tempo real onde vale a pena ir – ou não. A ação inclui, ainda, um hotsite que usa o Google Maps para indicar o que há para se fazer ao seu redor. A vantagem desta iniciativa, ao meu ver, é que nos dá a oportunidade tanto de descobrir coisas novas onde moramos, como também ajuda a explorar as cidades por onde viajamos.

Murdoch and Fox Open to a Higher Bid for Time Warner


Twenty-First Century Fox Inc. is willing to go higher in its quest to buy Time Warner, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, a sign that Chairman-CEO Rupert Murdoch is undeterred after being rebuffed in an initial offer for the media company.

“21st Century Fox can confirm that we made a formal proposal to Time Warner last month to combine the two companies,” Fox said today in a statement. “The Time Warner board of directors declined to pursue our proposal. We are not currently in any discussions with Time Warner.”

The New York Times reported earlier that 21st Century Fox last month offered Time Warner $85 per share in cash and nonvoting stock, and a 25% premium over Time Warner shares at the time.

For Better PR Results, Don't Call

Category: Up Your Game
Summary: If you work for a public relations firm, does your job description entail calling reporters and editors to pitch stories? If you are still using that old-school PR tactic, you’re career is at a dead end — because, aside from ill-informed publicists, journalists’ leading complaint is the number of unsolicited phone calls they receive. We now live in a communications environment in which the phone call has become by appointment only.
