Samsung (Mostly) Sticking with Publicis

samsung storeSamsung’s global review is over, and the news from AdAge isn’t much of a revelation: the company is sticking with Publicis. For the most part.

The significant part of the story imparted by “people familiar with the review” who didn’t talk to us is that the company added W+K and BBH to its very large agency roster — and that Leo Burnett retained its creative duties despite a challenge from Grey.

We didn’t get any tips on this one, and the lips of all related parties were sealed:

“Wieden & Kennedy, BBH and Starcom did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Leo Burnett declined to comment. Representatives from Samsung in South Korea and the U.S. did not return requests for comment.”

It’s been a slow week for tips with Advertising Week occupying everyone’s attention here in New York, but we’re impressed that people made so little noise about the future of such a big account.

Brand Activation Is A Global Movement

Once upon a time, I lived in Chicago and I spent some time freelancing for Frankel. Bud Frankel was a pioneer in sales promotion, and I thought it was pretty cool to see him walking the halls as Chairman of the firm he founded, led and eventually sold. The sales price in 2000 was estimated […]

Nestlé Fitness convida você a dar “aquela conferida”

Em tempos como os atuais, em que o culto ao corpo e o feminismo são tão amplamente discutidos, a linha de cereais Nestlé Fitness lança uma campanha de conscientização pela prevenção ao câncer de mama.

A ideia parte de um princípio simples, comum não só em terras brasileiras: quando uma mulher decide mostrar um pouco mais o corpo, as pessoas olham. E ao colocar uma minicâmera escondida no top da atriz, podemos conferir diversos olhares curiosos. Alguns discretos, outros nem um pouco, alguns de inveja, outros quase por acaso, e por aí vai.

Quem é mulher já está, de certa forma, acostumada a lidar com essas “conferidas” diárias, e até aí o vídeo não traz nenhuma novidade. O interessante é justamente o questionamento sobre a forma como a própria mulher lida com seu corpo, o quanto ela se preocupa com a saúde, além da forma. Daí o convite ao autoexame.

O vídeo com o making-of está aí abaixo:

BETC and Andy’s Recreate 1984 in 007-Style Peugeot Spot

On a day filled with short film commercials, here’s a spot recycling/paying tribute to an earlier Peugeot ad by French agency BETC.

We weren’t familiar with the 1984 original “Bombardier”; because it’s all French, David Hasselhoff, Tom Selleck and Burt Reynolds are conspicuously absent.

The real star here is the post-production team: the release tells us that 90 percent of the film is, in fact, 3D animation.

And here we thought the bold stuntmen really did chase the new 208 GTi in a combat helicopter.

Strongbow Seeks Bite of Cider Growth With New TV Ads


Nearly two years after gaining U.S. distribution rights for Strongbow hard cider, Heineken USA is putting the brand on TV in hopes of fueling growth in the newly crowded category.

The national TV campaign, by Droga5, is called “Cider at its Bestest,” and will be supported by “significant” spending, said Charles van Es, the importer’s senior director for global brands.

“The cider category is absolutely on fire over the last 18 months,” he said. But “we’ve got some significant competition,” he added, citing Boston Beer Co.’s Angry Orchard and new brands from MillerCoors and Anheuser-Busch InBev. “We definitely don’t want to be left behind. And we feel like we have a great story to tell and television is a fantastic medium to get a lot of people to see your message.”

iBeacon, it's just like Minority Report but with more shopping

If you work in advertising you’ve probably heard vague and yet meaningful whisperings of this new iBeacon technology (Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0 to be precise). If so, you’re probably wondering what it can do for you, and how you can sell it to your client for a massive suitcase of cash. As someone who’s spent weeks researching the field, here’s the facts.

Samsung Wraps Up Global Review; Publicis Groupe Still On Board


Samsung has wrapped up its global review, with incumbent agencies such as Publicis Groupe’s Leo Burnett and Starcom MediaVest Group’s Starcom retaining their portions of the business.

The company also added independent Wieden & Kennedy to the roster, as well as Publicis’ BBH, according to people familiar with the review. In all, the results give Publicis some breathing room after what could have been a major loss.

Wieden & Kennedy, BBH and Starcom did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Leo Burnett declined to comment. Representatives from Samsung in South Korea and the U.S. did not return requests for comment.

F/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi Restages Classic Photos for Leica

Here’s the second high-minded short film promoting a camera company that we’ve received today.

This one, created by Saatchi & Saatchi’s Brazilian wing F/Nazca, hypes camera maker Leica on its 100th anniversary by recasting some of the past century’s most memorable images and suggesting that they wouldn’t have come to be if not for the innovations sparked by that company.

Key line: “We didn’t invent photography…but we invented PHOTOGRAPHY” (emphasis ours).

It’s a bold claim backed up by an elaborate restaging of 35 “iconic” photos. We didn’t recognize all of them (which is shameful because we majored in studio art), but Eddie Adams’ “Saigon Execution” and a few more obvious entries like the John/Yoko portrait do stand out. Something tells us our readers will score better on the unofficial quiz.

The specific purpose of the film is to promote the brand’s store/gallery in Sao Paulo, but not its new “brilliant, crazy camera you cannot afford.

'Let's Play This Game': LeBron James Helps McDonald's Bring Monopoly Back


Every weekday, we bring you the Ad Age/iSpot Hot Spots, new and trending TV commercials tracked by iSpot.tv, a company that catalogs, tags and measures activity around TV ads in real time.

The Most Engaging ads are showing sustained social heat, ranked by SpotShare scores reflecting the percent of digital activity associated with each one over the past week. See the methodology here.
