Tiffany Taps WPP's MEC as New Media Agency


Luxury jewelry retailer Tiffany & Co has tapped MEC as its new media agency, according to people familiar with the matter.

Other contenders were Omnicom’s media agency network and MEC sibling agency MediaCom. Ark Advisors in New York managed the review process.

Tiffany, Ark and the MEC didn’t immediately respond to calls for comment.

Amazon Takes Retail Approach to Push Flagging Fire Phone


“You’ve got an iPhone,” said Brian Jausurawong. “You’re probably due for an upgrade,” gesturing to a display shelf stacked with Amazon Fire smartphones.

As it turns out, the interlocutor with Mr. Jausurawong, an Amazon sales representative, works for the tech giant, too (she was shooting a promo video). But Amazon did host actual customers in its ‘pop-up’ store at the ground floor of a downtown San Francisco mall. It’s the second year the e-commerce giant has had a brick-and-mortar holiday presence, but the first one involving its maiden smartphone.

On Thursday afternoon, a day after the store opened, around two dozen passersby strolled through to check Amazon tablets, e-readers, TV set-boxes and phones. Some were skeptical of its newest gizmo.

Agency's Pavlovian 'TapServer' To Eradicate Time Sheet Problem With Free Beer

colle_mcvoy_tapserver.jpg

Colle + McVoy has discovered the solution to getting agency employees to complete their timesheets; free beer. Yes, free beer.

The agency’s creative technologist and IT team collaborated to create a “never-before-seen” tech solution that rewards free beer to employees with up-to-date timesheets. What did they create?

They invented the TapServer, a custom-built, multi-keg “beer deployment system” that could be the answer to not only the ad industry’s time sheet problem but the entire nation’s timesheet conundrum. The TapServer uses RFID and custom-written software to instantly verify whether or not a timesheet has been completed before it lets the beer flow.

All of which makes one wonder. How will the agency recoup costs for all the time its employees spent coming up with this contraption?

BREAKING: Snark Master AdWeak Teams With Stock Footage Company to Launch Advertising Insider

ad_insider_adweak.jpg

Over the years you’ve probably seen the AdWeak Twitter account. In fact, the dude behind AdWeak was up to his shenanigans long, long before Twitter took over the world. For the uninitiated, AdWeak pumps out brilliant ad industry-related parody headlines that skewer and poke fun at the industry’s inner workings.

Now, AdWeak has teamed with stock footage company Dissolve to launch Advertising Insider, a witty combination of stock footage and AdWeak tweets. Check it out:

Johnnie Walker Calls for Global Review

Gentleman's Wager

Diageo-owned whiskey brand Jonnie Walker is in the early stages of a review for its global advertising account, having just sent out requests for information to agencies, BrandRepublic reports.

Incumbent agency BBH, who has held the account since 1999, was among the agencies invited to participate in the review and vowed to “vigorously defend” the business. BBH recently appointed Joakim Borgström as creative director on the Johnnie Walker account, following his arrival from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners.

“The brand’s relationship with BBH has been hugely successful, with the agency producing award-winning work of outstanding creativity,” said Guy Escolme, the global brand director at Johnnie Walker, adding, “As the market leader, Johnnie Walker feels the time is right to invite selected agencies, including BBH, to look at how we take the brand forward into the future.”

Johnnie Walker has worked with agencies other than BBH, including Anomaly New York for the recent 6-minute long digital ad “The Gentleman’s Wager,” starring Jude Law. There is no word yet on which agencies, aside from BBH, were invited to participate in the review.

Olson and Trulia Scare Up Some Halloween Laughs

Olson may have been acquired by consulting firm ICF International this week, but this new, extended spot for client Trulia shows that the no-longer-independent agency is still doing what it does.

The agency tells us that the fear in the eyes and voices of these spooked house-hunters is real and that the whole thing was captured via hidden camera unbeknownst to any of the people involved.

As for whether that’s true…you be the judge. Now who’s scarier: the dolls or grandma? (Honestly, we’ve seen far worse on Craigslist.)

The work is attributed to Olson Engage and production company Three Volts.

Commando Creative Collages

Dans sa série « Commando Creative », le créatif français Mister Blick reprend de célèbres photographies de guerre pour y coller des fleurs. Les amaryllis et les tulipes remplacent les fusils et les bazookas des soldats en noir et blanc ; le drapeau américain de la bataille d’Iwo Jima devient une grande fleur rose que les guerriers érigent fièrement. Une manière poétique d’adoucir la violence et les balles grâce à quelques pétales.
