Braincast 138 – Vamos falar português?

Braincast

Brainstorm, prospects, branding, case, budget, market share, target, job, press release, promoter, recall, storyboard, slogan, feedback, and so on.

É comum que, em qualquer língua, aconteçam empréstimos de outros idiomas. O anglicismo e outros estrangeirismos invadem cada vez mais nosso português, e o que poderia ser considerado apenas uma evolução da língua, acaba dando calafrios nos puristas.

No Braincast 138, vamos discutir se a adoção de palavras em inglês é realmente um problema. O anglicismo fere a língua ou é apenas influência cultural? Pessoas que não entendem nada de inglês, como ficam? Qual é o limite? Isso se resolve com lei?

Aperte o play, digo, o botão de execução de áudio, e descubra.

A House in Sifang Park

L’architecte chinois Wang Shu a érigé la Résidence San-He dans le campus du parc Sifang, au milieu des bois. Séparés par une cour et une piscine, les deux espaces habitables sont reliés par un toit élégant. Une des façades a été pensée avec des motifs géométriques laissant passer de la lumière à l’intérieur. A découvrir.

TV Exec Warns Peers Against Their Deals With Netflix


How TV programmers should approach working with Netflix and other streaming platforms became a hot topic during the annual UBS Global Media and Communications Conference in New York.

While TV executives mostly agreed that streaming video services are a friend to the traditional networks because they buy the rights to reruns, at least one said the industry was getting it all wrong.

It is “really shortsighted for these networks to be selling their shows to Netflix,” Starz CEO Chris Albrecht, a former CEO of HBO, said during a presentation Tuesday morning. Netflix would not be able to attract consumers, siphoning them away from live TV screens, without the benefit of networks’ second-run programming, he argued.

CP+B Appoints Jason De Turris CSO

Jason De Turris

CP+B announced the appointment of Jason De Turris, previously vice president, executive planning director, as its chief strategy officer. In the new role, De Turris will relocate to Hong Kong and oversee strategy on the Infiniti account, which the agency recently won AOR duties for following a review launched in the summer. He will also help open CP+B’s Hong Kong office and be responsible for building “the CP+B culture and brand throughout Asia” while still acting as a strategic leader across CP+B’s offices. CP+B said in a press release that it will appoint a new head of planning in North America in the near future.

While at CP+B, De Turris has worked with brands such as Xbox One, Grey Poupon, Best Buy, and Hotels.com. He previously served as senior planner at Ogilvy & Mather and Deutsch and as a planning director at JWT. Back in 2011, he also spent five months as a professor of strategic communications at Columbia University. (more…)

Dick’s Asks Strangers to Play with its Balls

Anomaly continues to “Spread Love” for Dick’s Sporting Goods, launching its “Holiday Hoops” extension of its “Gifts That Matter” campaign today on “Giving Tuesday.”

The ad follows on the heels of this heart-tugging spot and similarly explores how a basketball hoop can bring people together. This time around, though, Anomaly employs a “social experiment film” documenting people’s reactions when they leave basketball hoops, and a tray of balls with a “Play with me” sign, at various locations around Cleveland, Los Angeles and New York City. Naturally, the hoops caused strangers to bond over pick up games and Anomaly captured their genuine enthusiasm for the spot.

The video, however, is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of Dick’s “Spread Love” charitable initiative. Cleveland Cavaliers star Kevin Love teamed up with The Dick’s Sporting Goods Foundation today to surprise over 200 students at Scranton Elementary School in Cleveland with two new basketball hoops. The brand defines “Holiday Hoops” as a “‘pay it forward’ movement” which will ultimately donate over 100 hoops to organizations (all either schools or non-profits) across the country. Dick’s will select two such organizations every day, and then give them the chance to “pay if forward” to two of their own choosing, announcing the participants on social media with the #HolidayHoops hashtag.

“This holiday season, we wanted to enhance our “Gift That Matters” campaign by exploring the unique power a basketball hoop has to unite people and communities,” said Lauren Hobart, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, Dick’s Sporting Goods and president of The Dick’s Sporting Goods Foundation. “We believe that sports really do matter and Dick’s Foundation is thrilled to be able to provide 100 hoops to schools and communities across America.”

Powerful 'Lockdown' PSA Marks a Grim Statistic: Nearly 100 School Shootings Since Newtown

Classroom lockdown drills—at my first grader’s school and every other school in America—have become the norm since the tragedy at Newtown, two years ago this Sunday. The powerfully sad PSA below from Grey Toronto, unveiled today, takes place during just such a lockdown—and highlights a depressing statistic: There have been nearly 100 school shootings since Newtown, yet there has been almost no movement on gun control.

The end line nicely captures what has changed since Newtown—the level of fear in classrooms with young children. A 60-second version of the ad will air in digital and broadcast media leading up to the anniversary of the Newtown massacre.

“The inconceivably tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook woke up millions of Americans to our country’s pervasive culture of gun violence,” Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, said in a statement. “We do not send our children to school to learn how to hide from gunmen, nor should we expect sharpshooting to be a job requirement for educators. For far too long, our lawmakers have asked children and teachers to stand up to gunmen because they are too afraid to stand up to the gun lobby.”

Watts adds: “You may not have heard about all of these shooting incidents on the national news, but when a lockdown is announced over a school intercom—for whatever reason—it strikes fear across the community. We will not allow the constant threat of gun violence at our schools to become the new normal—it’s time our elected leaders take a stand for the safety and future of our children.”

Burger King: Yumbo hotline

The menu item was last seen on the menu back in 1974 and since its relaunch over 1,000 fans across the country have dialed 1-844-BK-YUMBO to profess their love for the sandwich the old fashioned way. The hotline is the first ever hotline dedicated to a sandwich. Additionally, to stay true to the era, BK also became the first brand ever to roll back its Facebook page to 1974.

Kevin Jones Tapped to Lead Creative For CP&B's Los Angeles Office


MDC’s CP&B has named veteran Wieden & Kennedy Creative Director Kevin Jones as the top creative in its Los Angeles office, which works on accounts such as Applebee’s, Charles Schwab, A.1. Sauce and Grey Poupon.

The move is part of a series of creative executive changes at CP&B in Los Angeles and elsewhere. Jason Gaboriau, who was executive creative director in Los Angeles along with Sue Anderson, left in September. Ms. Anderson will now leave her role as executive creative director to focus on other projects, including writing a book. She will still work with CP&B on projects, however, and continue in her post until Mr. Jones takes over in February. As executive creative director, Mr. Jones will run creative for the L.A. office without a co-executive creative director.

CP&B Worldwide Chief Creative Officer Rob Reilly left last December, and the agency decided not to fill his post. Instead, it said it would give more autonomy to the creative leaders in individual offices. In April, CP&B named Ralph Watson chief creative officer of the Boulder office. Bob Winter, the creative lead in CP&B’s Miami office, left earlier this year for VSA Partners. The agency plans name a successor but has not yet.

BBDO and Foot Locker Bravely Defend Against Sports Cliches

BBDO New York and Foot Locker continue their extended winning streak with this just-released spot in which Oklahoma City point guard Russell Westbrook promotes the client’s new Air Jordan line:

We like that the spot plays on multiple sportswear ad tropes as well as the mistaken but long-held belief that the right pair of sneakers can actually make one better at basketball (which has always been the not-so-secret selling point behind the Air Jordan line and all other celebrity-sponsored shoes).

The Spike Lee cameo is a nice touch as well.

FitzCo//McCann Earns it for Coca-Cola, Walmart

FitzCo//McCann created a holiday spot for Coca-Cola and Walmart entitled “Earn It” which features a sentimental twist designed to tug at heartstrings for the holidays.

The spot shows a teenager working odd jobs around the holidays to earn some extra money. After finally earning enough money he heads to Walmart to make his purchase, which is revealed in the next scene. Without giving too much away we can say that the spot is built around this reveal, which positions Coca-Cola and Walmart alongside some cute holiday sentimentality. Splitting an ad between two brands is no easy feet, but FitzCo//McCann manages to avoid shortchanging either party. In the opening shot, the protagonist is seen thumbing through a Walmart catalog while drinking a Coke. One of his money making schemes involves selling bottles of the soft drink for $1.25 each and he drinks a bottle again at the conclusion of “Earn It.” It also works surprisingly well with Coca-Cola’s larger “Open Happiness” campaign, albeit with the kind of sentimentality that might seem too much at any other time of year.

YouTube Rewind 2014 rememora principais músicas e memes do ano

youtube-rewind

Com trilha especialmente mixada pelo DJ Earworm, o mesmo responsável pelo United State of Pop, o YouTube divulgou hoje o seu mashup anual de memes e destaques do ano de 2014.

Reforçando a marca em praticamente todos os quadros e reunindo criadores de conteúdo para a plataforma, o YouTube contou com a ilustre participação de apresentadores como Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver, Conan O’Brien e Stephen Colbert, passando uma bandeira do YouTube pelos estúdios de gravação desses talk shows – só eu peguei uma mensagem subliminar de que a TV está sendo conquistada?

Boa parte do vídeo também é dedicada à uma molhadeza entre os participantes, uma homenagem ao Desafio do Balde de Gelo, que foi um dos principais memes do ano.

Divertido como sempre, a única crítica ao vídeo é a ausência de criadores brasileiros nessa retrospectiva. Vale dar o play e conferir.

Real-Time-Bidding for Native Ads Hits Tipping Point


When native advertising took off last year, many viewed it as a nice idea that probably couldn’t reach enough people to make it very important to advertisers.

Native, detractors might say, was nothing like real-time bidding (RTB), another innovation used to instantly reach millions of consumers with targeted ads via automation.
