Agency-created Rum Brand Continues to Grow, Six Years After Sale to Liquor Marketer


From nail polish to booze, plenty of ad agencies are experimenting with product development, as Ad Age recently documented.

But few have been as successful as Quaker City Mercantile, a Philadelphia-based shop that 15 years ago created a lifestyle brand called Sailor Jerry. The brand is named for Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins, a renowned American tattoo artist and Navy man of the mid-1900s. The brand’s flagship product is Sailor Jerry rum, which has grown to become the fourth-largest rum in the U.S. with nearly 5% share, according to IRI, which excludes bars. Sales grew by 6.3% to $31 million in the 52 weeks ending May 18, according to IRI.

Quaker City, formerly called Gyro Worldwide, sold the rum to liquor marketer William Grant & Sons in 2008. But Quaker City remains the lead creative agency on the brand. Sailor Jerry’s newest campaign, called “Life Outside the Lines,” launched Monday. Ads, which are airing on national TV, mix shots of skateboarders and motorcycle riders with cult film imagery and glimpses of tattoo designs created by Mr. Collins. The campaign’s soundtrack is “TV Eye,” from the classic 1970s Stooges album, “Fun House.” The ads follow Sailor Jerry’s national TV debut in 2012.

Think Dirty ajuda a descobrir se cosméticos usam produtos tóxicos

Fundadora da startup Think Dirty, Lily Tse resolveu tentar entender um pouco melhor sobre as inúmeras causas do câncer de mama, por conta de seu histórico familiar. Entre estas causas, ela começou a se aprofundar nos ingredientes tóxicos citados nas fórmulas de cosméticos e produtos de cuidados pessoais. Foi aí que surgiu a ideia de criar um aplicativo dedicada a ser uma fonte independente de informações sobre o assunto.

Disponível gratuitamente para iOS, o aplicativo indica o potencial tóxico dos cosméticos adotados pelos usuários de uma forma simples: basta escanear o código de barras e as informações serão fornecidas com uma linguagem acessível, que ajuda a entender seu impacto em nossa saúde.

São mais de 105 mil itens, a maioria dos Estados Unidos e Canadá, mas com o fácil acesso a produtos importados, isso dificilmente será um problema. Os usuários também podem contribuir enviando códigos de barra para a ampliação do banco de dados.

Por enquanto, Think Dirty só está disponível em inglês.

Alemanha dá um show de respeito nas mídias sociais

Mesmo depois da merecidíssima vitória por 7 a 1 contra o Brasil, os alemães foram capazes de demonstrar um profundo respeito pela dor dos brasileiros, que estavam perplexos com o resultado da partida.

Além de relatos de brasileiros fora do país que receberam abraços de alemães depois da partida (abraços, e não piadas de mau gosto, reparem bem), nas mídias sociais o show de respeito foi digno de nota.

A página da seleção alemã, a DFB-Team, a mesma que havia feito um divertido vídeo ao som de ‘Tieta’, mandou um recado agradecendo aos brasileiros pela hospitalidade, e se solidarizando com a dor da torcida, lembrando que eles também perderam uma semi-final em casa.

//

Jogadores alemães também mostraram que sabem jogar bem dentro e fora de campo. Em sua página do Facebook, Mesut Özil postou uma mensagem em diversos idiomas, inclusive em português, para lembrar os brasileiros (!) que temos “um país maravilhoso, um povo fantástico e jogadores incríveis”, e que “esse jogo não pode destruir o seu orgulho”. Lukas Podolski, que assistiu à partida do banco, usou diversas hashtags para lembrar que é preciso “respeitar a AMERELINHA’.

//

Nem mesmo a página da cerveja Paulaner, que vinha fazendo piadinhas com os times que estavam sendo mandados para casa pela Alemanha, desceu do salto – a cerveja apenas comemorou discretamente o fato da seleção do país ter chegado à final da Copa do Mundo.  

//

Depois dos japoneses recolhendo lixo dos estádios, mais uma seleção gringa ensina o Brasil a manter o respeito acima de tudo.
