W+K NY, Metallica Rock out ‘This is SportsCenter’

W+K New York have a new “This is SportsCenter” spot for ESPN featuring Metallica.

The agency has some fun with the idea that with Mariano Rivera now retired, Metallica doesn’t have a lot to do around the ESPN offices. Metallica looks for other athletes in need of entrance music, with less than satisfactory results, as well as other things to do around the office. Hosts Jay Harris, Scott Van Pelt and Stuart Scott also appear in the spot, which debuts today in anticipation of tonight’s Gillette Home Run Derby. The spot neglects to mention that Metallica still provide entrance/walk-up music for players including Rays reliever Grant Balfour, Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon and White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko, but then that would kind of ruin the premise. Stick around for credits after the jump. (more…)

Striking Portraits of People Lying in Their Own Trash Show How We Get in Bed With Brands

Photographer Gregg Segal is fascinated by the trash we make. 

In his artist statement about this ongoing series, he explains “‘Seven Days of Garbage’ is a series of portraits of friends, neighbors, and other acquaintances with the garbage they accumulate in the course of a week. Subjects are photographed surrounded by their trash in a setting that is part nest, part archeological record. We’ve made our bed and in it we lie.”

“Of course, there were some people who edited their stuff. I said, ‘Is this really it?’ I think they didn’t want to include really foul stuff so it was just packaging stuff without the foul garbage. Other people didn’t edit and there were some nasty things that made for a stronger image,” Segal said in an interview with Slate. 

This series is a beautifully executed, albeit sordid case study on what we consume, and the products we polish off and discard—a veritable brand graveyard. There’s a truly poetic quality about these images; they really boil us down to the insatiably ravenous animals we are and the relationships we have with all of the crap we buy.

Forget C7 vs. C3: One TV Programmer Pushes for 'C-Zero' Ad Sales


TV broadcasters made an aggressive push in this year’s upfront market to get paid for commercials viewed within seven days of airing instead of the industry-standard three. But at least one cable programmer took the opposite approach, turning away from “C7” and “C3,” as those standards are known, to sell ads in what it’s calling the “C-Zero” window: commercials that are seen live or on the same day they air.

The idea, from Scripps Networks , was to stand out in the upfront marketplace — when TV networks look to secure a bulk of their advertising for the next season — by counteracting broadcasters’ push for C7, said Steve Gigliotti, president, ad sales and marketing, Scripps Networks.

It’s a savvy bit of counterprogramming, so to speak, but also easier for Scripps than, say, CBS, some of whose shows are heavily time-shifted. Scripps — whose networks include Food Network, HGTV and Travel Channel — are predominantly watched live, with 93% of the audience in the C3 window actually watching programming on the first day, Mr. Gigliotti said.
