A admirável banda de um editor só

Dentre os milhares de milhões de vídeos disponíveis no YouTube, estão diversas apresentações de canto, exercícios gravados por alunos que estudam instrumentos musicais e solos de violão, piano, saxofones e até violoncelos.

Usando 23 desses vídeos como base, o usuário do YouTube Kutiman editou os vídeos em conjunto, mesclando-os com o intuito de criar uma canção bem finalizada, aplicou um autotune e o resultado foi a estreia da música GIVE IT UP, que conta até mesmo com a participação de uma garotinha de 6 anos praticando piano para um recital (!).

Segundo o autor, essa canção será parte do álbum “Thru You Too”, que terá composições de vídeos não relacionados disponíveis no YouTube, todos sampleados por Kutiman. Uma admirável banda de um editor só.

Antuérpia encontra uma forma útil para se usar selfies

Vez ou outra, alguma mente criativa consegue encontrar uma utilidade bacana para as selfies. É o caso da Selfie Speeding Sign, ação realizada pela Duval Guillaume na cidade de Antuérpia, na Bélgica. Já tem algum tempo que o excesso de velocidade no perímetro urbano é controlado por uma espécie de radar que, por meio de faces felizes ou tristes, aponta se o motorista está ou não dentro do limite recomendado.

Para tornar este processo ainda mais personalizado, os belgas tiveram a oportunidade de contribuir enviando duas selfies cada um, com a expressão alegre e outra séria. Daí a mecânica continua a mesma: se o motorista está dentro do limite de velocidade, ele recebe a aprovação e agradecimento dos colaboradores, enquanto no caso de velocidade excessiva, ele recebe um pedido para reduzir.

O mais bacana desta história toda é que, a partir de um trabalho de geolocalização, as pessoas que aparecem no Selfie Speeding Sign vivem na mesma região dos radares. Isso significa que um pai pode ver seu próprio filho pedindo para que ele vá mais devagar, por exemplo.

GoDaddy Targets Small Businesses With Quirky Fall Campaign


GoDaddy will kick off its fall campaign tonight during “Monday Night Football.”

The first of two new TV ads will air tonight on ESPN, with another spot beginning to air on cable tomorrow. The commercials, “Stick It” and “Related,” are part of GoDaddy’s most recent unconventional attempt to resonate with small business owners.

The new ads move away from using celebrities. Instead, they are based on real small business owners, both women. CMO Barb Rechterman said 60% of small businesses are owned by women.

CNNx Gets New Name, Signs Advertisers


Time Warner’s CNN plans a big push this month to promote its personalized news platform under the name CNN Go, which it began testing in April as CNNx and rolled out widely in June.

The service gives web users control over how they view the network’s TV feed, letting them select segments from 24 hours of programming and access expanded content in real-time.

The new name is partly an effort to identify with Time Warner sibling HBO’s highly successful HBO Go platform, according to K.C. Estenson, senior VP-general manager, CNN Digital. The name also better aligns with CNN’s new tagline, “Go There,” he said.

Ad Agencies Looking To Win More Business Need The Levitan Pitch

I suppose in a perfect world, a client in need of an advertising agency would point to an ad campaign they admire and say, “Let’s hire them.” We wouldn’t need the agency pitch process that is part ‘Dating Game,’ part dog and pony show, part theater, and part…well, part marketing services evaluation. Since we don’t […]

Urban outfitters apologises for shilling blood-soaked Kent State shirt

I swear, someone at Urban Outfitters has these tasteless garments as some sort of media-plan to get unlimited attention in the press. I have difficulty explaining their tone-deaf choice of items any other way. Someone thought this blood stained “Kent State” college sweatshirt was a cool vintage find, and added it to their vintage collection for the bargain price of $129.

Aigle FW 2014: It's wild out there

Aigle, a 161 year old clothing brand, has just come out with its newest campaign for Fall WInter, 2014. This new line is more fashion oriented and the tone is a bit cheeky. No doubt the weekend warriors, after hours athletes, and beard totin’ plaid-wearin’ fixed gear ridin’ dudes in general will respond well to it.

Here's How Samsung Gloatingly Responded to Apple's Larger iPhone Screens

This Samsung ad, which debuted over the weekend, teases the October release of its Galaxy Note 4—and also, more mercilessly, teases Apple for being late to the phablet game at its iPhone 6 event last week. 

Called “Then and Now,” the minute-long clip reminds viewers that Samsung was the first company to popularize larger-size handsets. To make its point, it presents snippets of dismissive reviews that followed the Galaxy Note’s introduction nearly three years ago.

Being first is all well and good, and perhaps the spot amuses/energizes die-hard Samsung geeks. Still, I doubt its gloating vibe resonates with a broader audience. Coming after last week’s “It Doesn’t Take a Genius” spots (ribbing Apple about its smartwatch and even the ragged quality of its live-event streaming), this spot feels like overkill.

Auch crowing makes Samsung look, well, small. And kind of silly, given that the iPhone 6 Plus sold out on the first day Apple started taking orders.

Don’t expect a counterpunch, though. Apple, of course, is bigger than that.



Urban Outfitters Just Hit a New Low by Selling Bloody Kent State Sweatshirt

Filed under: The most WTF thing we’ve seen in months.

Urban Outfitters, purveyor of clothing and home goods, big-ass floppy hats and occasionally offensive T-shirts, has outdone itself with this product on its website—a “vintage” Kent State University sweatshirt featuring fake blood splatters.

In 1970, the Ohio National Guard fired on a group of unarmed anti-war student protesters at Kent State, killing four and wounding nine others.

The sweatshirt sold out quickly, because there was only one. (“We only have one, so get it or regret it!” said the description.) Now it’s listed on eBay by someone who says he/she will “give 50% of the profit to the Southern Poverty Law Center, who protect those who cannot protect themselves, often those who are victims of police brutality.”

If this is an elaborate PR play from a desperate brand, as it would seem, it’s a pathetic one. With Twitter and Facebook teeming with Rage Against the Urban Outfitters, I’m guessing throngs of people are going to buy their big-ass floppy hats elsewhere.

Google Makes Push As Brand Marketer With Android One


Before the new iPhone debuted, dozens of rumors circulated. One was that Apple, trying to broaden its global reach, would lower prices. Apple did not, holding its place as the premium smartphone brand.

A week later, Google, Apple’s larger software foe, moved the other way. On Monday in India, Google launched Android One, a uniform operating system platform it plans to spread across developing countries to cement the next billion plus mobile internet users into its world. The move — a partnership with three Indian hardware companies — is also a direct hit against Microsoft and Samsung.

And it may mark Google’s most concentrated push ever as a brand advertiser.
