Make Sure It's Worth It to Work There

Category: Career Oxygen
Summary: Networking is the oxygen of the connected economy. It is the currency of consumer collaboration. Unless you are a monk, getting through life in the 21st century is a challenge at best if you have no network. Virtually every job today is gained through the network. If you are selling storage, soup, semiconductors, software, soap, or self, you require relationships and relationship building skills.

Missão Miojo quer cozinhar macarrão instantâneo na mesosfera

Com o objetivo de marcar a comemoração de seus 50 anos com a realização de um feito inédito, a Nissin Miojo Lamen lançou esta semana a Missão Miojo, um projeto espacial não tripulado que pretende cozinhar um alimento – no caso o macarrão instantâneo – na mesosfera.

Com criação da F/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi e produção da DIETRICH.TV?, a Missão Miojo ainda tem um longo caminho a percorrer, até o lançamento previsto para janeiro de 2015. A viabilização do projeto está dividida entre a Interorbital, uma empresa voltada para a manufatura de foguetes, satélites e naves espaciais, que está responsável pela pesquisa e testes, e o chef francês Emmanuel Bassoleil, que terá de criar uma receita que seja compatível com a iniciativa.

Toda a Missão Miojo poderá ser acompanhada no hotsite do projeto, que contará com vídeos documentando todo processo que resultará no cozimento do macarrão quando a cápsula cruzar a mesosfera – aquela camada onde geralmente os meteoros costumam pegar fogo.

Se realmente vai dar certo, é aguardar para ver. Mas que é uma ideia audaciosa, disso não há dúvidas.

Apple's Beats Acquisition Spurs Conflict Shop at Interpublic's R/GA


Samsung and Beats have harmoniously coexisted on R/GA’s client roster since the shop started working with the brands. But that coexistence likely has a shelf-life as Beats takes on a new parent company in Apple, one of Samsung’s biggest rivals.

R/GA, which is based in New York, is now planning to open a Los Angeles-based conflict shop designed to create a firewall between the two clients, as well as any other future conflicts, Ad Age has learned.

R/GA confirmed that it has set up a separate legal entity in Los Angeles, where it runs its Beats account, but declined to disclose details around what prompted the move and its future plans for the group. The entity does not yet have a name.
