WPP Reports Third Quarter Revenue Growth of 3.1%


WPP reported revenue growth of 3.1% to $4.4 billion for the third quarter. The company said that on a like-for-like basis, excluding the impact of acquisitions and currency fluctuations, revenue was up 7.6%.

No ano passado, a indústria cervejeira do Reino Unido se uniu para fortalecer o mercado sob o movimento Let There Be Beer. Agora, com criação da SapientNitro, a Britain’s Beer Alliance apresenta sua primeira campanha, There’s a Beer for That.

O comercial, filmado em ritmo de documentário, percorre cidades como Londres, Liverpool, Manchester, Lancashire, Yorkshire e Wales para mostrar como os diferentes tipos de cerveja produzidos no país podem ser harmonizados com os pratos favoritos dos britânicos, sejam eles tradicionais ou internacionais. E que também se encaixam nas mais diferentes situações.

A direção é de Michael Winterbottom, que tem em seu currículo filmes como A Festa Nunca Termina, sobre a cena do rock inglês nos anos 1970 e 1980, e O Preço da Coragem, que narra a busca de Mariane Pearl por seu marido desaparecido no Paquistão, o jornalista Daniel Pearl. cerveja

60s Adman Gets a Job at Zulu Alpha Kilo; It Doesn’t Go Well

For the 2014 Strategy Agency of the Year Awards in Toronto, Zulu Alpha Kilo decided to take a look at how a sixties adman might fare in today’s agency world. Hint: Not so well.

The video opens with the adman, Dick, being told that he’s being let go due to his unacceptable behavior around the office. When he questions what exactly he did wrong, we’re treated to a montage of Dick’s antics, which include blowing cigarette smoke in the face of a pregnant coworker, exposing a testicle, questioning the need for agency partners, having sex with a prostitute on his desk and, of course, constantly drinking on the job. It’s a funny look at how much the agency climate has changed since the Mad Men era, with a slight twist ending, and well worth a look if you have a few minutes to spare.

Despite being fired, Dick somehow appeared at the awards show last night…

Paper Robot Prototype

ZURI est un robot programmable fait de papier et de carton inventé par la compagnie de design allemande Zoobotics. Cette machine mobile, conçue comme un kit, peut être assemblée avec quelques outils (cutter, règle, colle et un tournevis). En plus d’un capteur de distance, le robot en papier a des servomoteurs, des servo-contrôleurs et un module Bluetooth, pouvant ainsi le piloter via un PC ou un smartphone. Encore à l’état de prototype, l’appareil est à découvrir ci-dessous.

Hootsuite's Brilliant Halloween Ads Try to Calm Your Fears About Social Media

It’s that time of year again, when we can escape our average selves, don clever costumes and get all hopped up on Fireball shots—I mean, gummy worms. And it’s always pretty fun to see what brands do to celebrate, because when they’re good, they can be really good.

Social media aggregation site Hootsuite has done itself proud with a great series of horror-movie parody posters, produced in-house. Take a look below and see what happens when scary movies are monster-mashed with social-media themes.
