Samsung Predicts Another Bad Quarter on Smartphone Slump


Samsung Electronics posted third-quarter earnings that missed analysts’ estimates as the world’s biggest smartphone maker loses ground to Apple and Chinese competitors.

Operating profit was 4.1 trillion won ($3.8 billion) in the three months ended September, a 53% annual decline, the South Korea-based company said in a regulatory filing Monday. In a statement, the company faulted lower selling prices for its more expensive smartphone lines and rising marketing costs.

In 2013, Samsung reported $11.3 billion in advertising and promotional spending. The electronics giant wrapped up an extensive global agency review last week.

Adobe faz campanha contra a compra de cliques

Você sabe o que seu marketing anda fazendo? Esta é a pergunta que a Adobe faz aos clientes, de uma forma geral, em sua nova campanha criada pela Goodby Silverstein & Partners, que defende o fim da compra de cliques como uma “solução” na comunicação digital.

Mean Streets conta com dois filmes, ambos produzidos pela MJZ, com direção de Dante Ariola. A história compara a compra de cliques às drogas, e coloca um profissional de marketing indo ao encontro de um traficante para conseguir sua “dose”. O problema é que a polícia flagra o encontro e ele é preso e tratado como um verdadeiro pária. Até aí os comerciais são iguais. Em Holding Cell, o colega de cela se afasta do marketeiro ao saber seu crime, enquanto em Wife, quem sofre com a humilhação por tabela é a esposa.

No ano passado, a Adobe já havia explorado a temática destacando o problema da falta de uma avaliação eficaz das métricas de uma campanha.
