Subway Wants You To Look Hot for Halloween


Some marketers start marketing lighter foods after the holidays as part of the annual get-fit-for summer season. But Subway is using an unusual time of year: it’s using fall to tap into a possibly never-before-marketed fitness trend: staying in shape to fit into sexy Halloween costumes. The chain’s spot, launching today, follows “Crop Fit,” a spot launched in August about a fake fitness trend that uses “hardcore fitness based on 19th century farming practices.”

The new spot shows some of the usual suspects in sexy costumes, like a teacher in a too-short skirt or a hot devil. Subway says this and the “Crop Fit” spot are identifying “undiscovered health and fitness trends,” a new way for the chain to market its Fresh Fit menu.

My Media Week: Simon Kilby

This week, Simon Kilby, head of marketplace, Bauer Media, readies the national launch of Magic on DAB and celebrates future change at Bauer Radio’s annual conference, with dire consequences the next day.

Quanto da sua insegurança você passa às suas filhas?

Crianças funcionam muito com base na imitação do adulto, e os pais são os primeiros a terem o comportamento observado e copiado pelos pequenos. Isso vale tanto para as coisas positivas quanto para as negativas, e é esse ponto que a Dove tenta provar na campanha “Legacy”.

No vídeo, 5 mães são convidadas a listarem suas insatisfações com o próprio corpo – para algumas, é o formato dos olhos, para outras, braços ou pernas muito compridas, ou até mesmo um rosto mais bochechudo. O que essas mães não sabiam, contudo, é que as mesmas perguntas tinham sido respondidas pelas suas filhas, e a comparação entre as listas evidencia que boa parte das inseguranças das mães aparece refletida nas respostas das pequeninas.

Ou seja, as filhas estavam observando as insatisfações físicas das suas mães e se apropriando delas. Felizmente, isso funciona também para o reforço positivo. Em determinado trecho, uma das mães diz acreditar que ela tem a pele bonita porque sorri bastante, e pouco depois é possível ouvir a sua filha constatando que gosta do próprio rosto, porque ele é sorridente.

“Todas as mulheres podem ser um exemplo positivo para a próxima geração, ao expressar a própria beleza com confiança”, sugere Jennifer Bremner, diretora de marketing da Dove.

Nessa altura do campeonato, desenvolver a própria autoestima para de ser algo egoísta e individualista e se transforma em algo muito maior, praticamente uma militância pelas gerações futuras.

A criação é da Ogilvy Paris.

Why Is No One Talking About Ad Delivery?


Timing is everything, especially in the advertising world. In the blink of an eye, three more videos have gone viral since you last ate. So if keeping an ad relevant with timing is so important, why isn’t anyone talking about ad delivery? It is an essential aspect of ad placement and can be the determining factor in the success of an advertising campaign. If managed correctly, advertisers can reap the benefits of a well-oiled ad delivery machine. Done poorly, advertisers risk their ads being irrelevant due to out-of-context placement or poor timing.

Advertisers and ad agencies know how difficult it can be to get an ad file from a creative house to the ad’s final destination. The process involves many parties, which in turn means limited control over how the message is delivered to its final destination. Given all these moving parts throughout the entire life cycle of the ad, it should come as no surprise that the process becomes increasingly complicated toward the final stages of the campaign’s timeline. But this doesn’t have to be the case. Brands and agencies that want or need to plan campaigns months in advance can guarantee their ads will remain relevant within the content it is matched with, even in the earliest stages. Here’s how:

Know the process that your ad goes through in order to be placed. Do you know the journey your ad will take before it goes live? Once you’ve hired your ad agency every ad goes to a creative team within that agency that is then responsible for the development of your ad. This team will actually make that ad into multiple ads, as advertisers often create variations on ads from market to market. Then there’s the media buyeroften working for a completely different agencywho decides where the ad will run. There is also the traffic departmentsometimes within the creative agency, sometimes a third partywhich coordinates the media buy with the commercial assets and the media outlets, sending letters of instruction and creative rotations, and ensuring delivery of the ad. And finally, there is the agency account team, which often has to check with the talent department to make sure each commercial actor’s contracts are up-to-date and that it’s OK for the ad to run. Quite a lot to wrap your head around, especially in the middle of a campaign.

Ariana Grande Strikes Drink Deal — Not With Coke or Pepsi


In a new endorsement deal, Ariana Grande will try to do for bottled water what Diet Coke and Pepsi endorsers Taylor Swift and Beyonce are doing for soda: Give it some pop.

The rising singing star will be the face of a new campaign for a small but growing functional water brand called Wat-aah! that targets kids.

“We’ve aimed to make water cool and exciting to kids,” said Rose Cameron, a former ad agency employee who founded the brand in 2008. Music, she said, is a “big component of that,” adding that “what works for Coke and Pepsi I believed could also work for water.”

Campanha combate a violência associada ao álcool

Não tem um labrador fofo para ajudar a mostrar os perigos do abuso do álcool, como naquele filme da Budweiser que mostramos aqui há alguns dias. Ainda assim, vale dar uma conferida em Stop Before it Gets Ugly, campanha contra a violência associada à bebida alcóolica criada pela JWT de Sidney para a NSW Government.

São dois filmes que giram em torno de um homem que aparece todo ensanguentado. É como se fosse uma espécie de “fantasma do Natal futuro”. A diferença é que, em vez de aparecer para mostrar o que o destino reserva ao mesquinho Ebenezer Scrooge, o personagem conta como será atacado pelo cara que bebeu demais e ficou violento. No segundo comercial, a conversa rola com os amigos do agressor.

A mensagem é a mesma de sempre: pense bem antes de partir para uma próxima rodada.
