Bill Cosby Resigns From Temple University Board

Bill Cosby stepped down as a trustee of his beloved Temple University following renewed accusations that he had drugged and sexually assaulted a string of women over many years.



hasan&partners Chief Lets It All Hang Out

Does your office include a steam room? And why not?

We shouldn’t be surprised by this clip after witnessing hasan&partners chief Ami Hasan undergo voluntary shock therapy back in April. But this faux news segment, in which a “reporter” casts Hasan as the ultimate guide to Helsinki as it prepares to host the Eurobest festival, took us aback for some reason.

It’s a little slow to start; you may even miss the subtlest joke around the 1:16 mark:

Did you get all that?

For the record, Mark Maher is not journalist, but he is a copywriter who serves as hasan&partners’ “sole native English specialist.”

Unfortunately, Maher has yet to sell us on the Helsinki experience. We’re also very disappointed to report that the site listed at the end of the video, in which Hasan promises to give us more “restaurant, sightseeing and sauna tips,” does not exist…yet.

A-B InBev Ends Relationship With Translation


Anheuser-Busch InBev has cut its final ties with Translation, which has served as the lead ad agency for Budweiser’s much-hyped Made in America summer music festival curated by Jay Z.

The shop first won its way on to the brewer’s roster in 2011 and was named lead agency for Bud Light in 2012. BBDO won the Bud Light account in 2013. Translation managed to hang onto Bud Light line extensions like Platinum until earlier this year, until BBDO took that business too.

That left Translation with only the Made in America business. The shop, founded by former music exec Steve Stoute, played a key role in the 2012 launch of the Made in America event, which has served as a key plank in the brewer’s millennial marketing strategy. The concert originally was staged in Philadelphia and was expanded to Los Angeles this year.

Pitch Does Disco Flashback for Burger King

Burger King made headlines earlier this year after deciding to leave global AOR Mother for David just as it had left CP+B for mcgarrybowen.

David’s most prominent work for the client to date concerned the debut of an especially colorful Whopper at San Francisco’s Gay Pride parade, but this new campaign reminds us that the chain continues to turn work with other agencies. The spot comes from Culver City agency Pitch, which has been working with BK for over a decade; Pitch was the only creative shop to survive Burger King’s January purge.

How many dated references appear in this ad?

Yes, the Yumbo is — or was — a real thing. Like the McRib, it appeared briefly and then grew tastier by virtue of its own absence.

Chinese Authorities Send Anti-Corruption Team to Probe Dongfeng


China’s central government sent an inspection team to Dongfeng Motor Corp. to investigate executives of the state-owned automaker for possible corruption.

The team will stay in Dongfeng for a month to conduct the probe, according to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China, China’s corruption watchdog.

During the inspection, which began Thursday, the team will listen to complaints filed against the company’s management and summon executives for questions.
