Purina Navigates China's Complex Market Where Owners Often Cook for Their Pampered Pets


Chicken and meat mixed with rice and noodles. Actually they cook all kinds of human food for their dogs. Older dog owners, empty-nesters, think they must cook different kinds of foods for their dog to show love.

For the young people, age 25-to-30, with an education, they maybe only feed commercial food to their dogs, along with snacks. But most people are mixing, they don’t use commercial food only. They think their dogs need to eat something different every day for the taste. They think it’s boring for their dogs otherwise.

E-commerce has exploded in China. How is your business adjusting to that?

Ser cirurgião? Bombeiro? O que requer coragem mesmo é ser publicitário

hurt-locker

Acha que é fácil fazer uma campanha de mídias sociais revolucionária em apenas uma semana? Ou ter certeza de que a ideia que foi apresentada para o cliente vai dar certo? Até mesmo fazer aquele logo ficar ‘maiorzinho’ não é nada simples.

Apoiando-se na ideia de que fazer propaganda não é trabalho para qualquer um, a Wieden + Kennedy criou uma série de filmes e pôsteres para o Andy Awards, nos quais médicos, bombeiros, especialistas em desativar bombas e astronautas elogiam a coragem dos publicitários.

Afinal, é preciso muita garra para fazer campanhas globais, integradas, 360, apostando em mobile e até se dispondo a passar horas a fio para terminar um projeto a tempo. “Esses caras da publicidade? Eles são os heróis de verdade”, elogia o bombeiro no segundo filme.

thor

Se você precisava de uma forcinha para entrar no clima de Natal ou quer dar umas boas risadas neste começo de semana, o vídeo acima é perfeito. Editado por James CovenantThe Avengers Sing Christmas Carols reúne cenas dos heróis da Marvel “cantando” canções de Natal, em um projeto que deve ter dado muito trabalho, mas que no final ficou muito bom.

O grande destaque, entretanto, está na sequência final, quando um convidado muito especial – que não faz parte dos Vingadores – resolve dar o ar da graça com uma espetacular interpretação de Jingle Bells. Dê o play e divirta-se.

Country Music Association Works to Attract Brands, Change Perceptions of Its Fans


It’s a rainy Wednesday morning in November. Nearly 40 marketing executives from companies including Procter & Gamble, PepsiCo and Colgate-Palmolive are sitting in a conference room at the Country Music Hall of Fame sharing more about themselves than they’d probably planned. Damon Whiteside, senior VP-marketing and partnerships at the Country Music Association, has asked them to name their favorite country artists. Some, like Steve Doan, brand manager for Jose Cuervo at Proximo Spirits, have trouble naming even one.

And that’s exactly why the CMA has assembled them in Nashville. According to CMA research, the country fan base over the age of 12 has soared 31% during the last decade from 80.9 million to 106.6 million. Of those fans, 34% are in the prime advertiser demographic of 18-to-34- years old. More than half work full-time and are married, college-educated homeowners. Country music fans’ average yearly household income is around $76,200, slightly higher than the general population.

Yet, there’s a disconnect between an ad industry that tends to live on the coasts and regards America’s heartland as flyover country. That’s why the CMA is holding this marketing summit, its ninth such program, just hours before one of its signature events, the Country Music Association Awards.

Dollars & Scents: From Clothes to Cars to Banks, Brands Seek Distinction Through Fragrance


There are certain scents — warm cookies, fresh-cut grass, salty air — that evoke powerful memories and can alternately make someone feel cozy and content, energized or just plain happy. It was only a matter of time until someone bottled that up and sought to connect scents with sales.

As brands continue to search for innovative ways to distinguish themselves, scent marketing is becoming another tool in their arsenals. “We’re where music was 15 years ago,” said Roger Bensinger, exec VP of AirQ by Prolitec, which works with Abercrombie & Fitch, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Giorgio Armani, among others. “You wouldn’t walk into an established retailer today without some sort of music playing, but that wasn’t the case 15 or 20 years ago. You can walk into a beautifully designed space, and it’s rendered meaningless if there’s a bad smell or an absent smell.”

While the roots for scent marketing lie in odor control — think smoky casinos and medicinal doctor’s offices — industries as varied as retail, hospitality, auto dealers and financial services are now looking to scent as a way to better define their brands.
