Admojis, emojis com pequenas frases que ganham novo sentido entre publicitários

admojis-capa

Com o uso cada vez mais frequente dos emojis para representar sensações, emoções ou até para gerar um duplo sentido nas mensagens trocadas entre as pessoas, alguns publicitários pensaram em transformar o uso dos símbolos em quase que uma piada interna do setor.

Adicionando pequenas frases às imagens, Scott Wolf, redator da McCann, junto com seus colegas Jordan Miller e Johnny Michael, criaram o projeto Admojis, que dá novos sentidos aos clássicos emojis.

admojis5 admojis4

São casos como o emoji de pizza junto da frase “Pode trabalhar até mais tarde?”, que faz alusão à conhecida pizza da madrugada nas agências, ou a bandeira de chegada para comemorar ter conseguido fazer tudo dentro do prazo no fim do dia. Outros emojis exemplificam cenas do cotidiano das agências, como o susto de acordar daquela soneca involuntária, ou a sensação esquisita de ter alguém conferindo seu trabalho por trás do seu ombro.

A lista completa, com mais de 100 admojis, pode ser conferida no site admojis.com

Uma esquete sugere clones de George Martin para ajudar a terminar “Game of Thrones”

game-of-thrones-george-martin-clones

Produzida pelo canal de comédia Humordy e inspirada no filme “Eu, Minha Mulher e Minhas Cópias”, essa esquete brinca com uma possível solução para o ‘problema’ da demora de George R. R. Martin em terminar a série de “Game of Thrones”.

Afinal, seria bem interessante para o autor ter algumas ‘cópias’ para cumprir algumas de suas funções, fosse para escrever capítulos, supervisionar os roteiros da série ou fazer participações especiais em conferências e palestras.

Mas, é claro, sempre existe o problema das cópias não serem exatamente iguais ao original – na esquete, um dos clones aparece um tanto ‘defasado’ com a história, irritado pelos spoilers, e o suposto George Martin original se irrita ao ver um clone fazendo uma aparição pública entre os seus fãs. Para quem acompanha os livros ou a série, uma brincadeira que faz mesmo pensar se não estamos pressionando demais o autor, que demorou 15 anos para publicar os 5 primeiros livros da série.

Pandora Hires Ad-Tech Exec, Agency Vet as CMO Liaison


This year Pandora will be cozying up a bit more closely with advertisers and their agencies.

The streaming radio service has hired former ad tech exec and agency veteran Alan Schanzer as Pandora’s senior VP-agency and advertiser development. In the newly created role, Mr. Schanzer will focus on getting brands to include Pandora in their marketing plans and relay feedback from brands to Pandora’s various teams, such as those developing its ad products.

Mr. Schanzer will also work to secure the type of sweeping, strategic agency holding-company deals that others like Google, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have inked in recent years but that Pandora has yet to sign.

See the Best Car Ads of 2014


Automakers outside the U.S. have taken home the lion’s share of accolades at the second annual Automobile Advertising of the Year competition at the North American International Auto Show. The contest, from the auto show and the One Club, celebrates creative excellence in advertising in the automotive category.

Not surprisingly, “Epic Split” for Volvo Trucks was among the winners, taking the honor for online advertising. In case you were asleep all of last year, the already much-feted ad was created by Forsman & Bodenfors and featured action hero Jean-Claude Van Damme in a daring split between two backwards-moving Volvo trucks.

Three broadcast spots, for Audi, Hyundai and Toyota, earned prizes in the broadcast TV category. Audi’s “Scripted Life,” created out of Venables, Bell & Partners, depicts how an office man goes about his day as if he’s living according to a movie script — that is, until an Audi comes along.

Veja o processo de animação em stop-motion a partir da perspectiva dos personagens

boxtrolls

No final de setembro, o estúdio de animação Laika, criador de “Coraline” e “ParaNorman”, lançou seu novo filme “The Boxtrolls”. A estratégia de divulgação do filme, desde os trailers, se focou em mostrar o delicado processo de produção da animação em stop-motion, com todo o trabalho feito à mão.

Mas o melhor mesmo foi a cena pós-créditos que a distribuidora de The Boxtrolls disponibilizou no YouTube recentemente.

Ela mostra o trabalho artesanal dos animadores com o tempo correndo na perspectiva de dois personagens, enquanto esses discutem sobre livre-arbítrio: “e se nosso mundo mundo é apenas um pequeno ponto e, cada vez que nos mexemos, na verdade são gigantes nos movendo”? Vale a pena conferir!

Quartz's Digital Media Strategy Begins to Crystallize


When Atlantic Media introduced business-news publication Quartz in September 2012, it spent about $10 million on the launch, according to people familiar with the matter. That’s a far cry from the more than $100 million Cond Nast dropped in 2007 rolling out its glossy business magazine, Portfolio. After just two years, amid stiff economic headwinds, Portfolio folded.

Unlike Portfolio, Quartz is digital only — existing purely as a web and mobile site. Two years after its introduction, Quartz has surpassed 10 million monthly readers in the U.S., reached eight figures in revenue and moved into a larger office in New York City to accommodate its growing staff. Last year, Quartz hired 30 new employees. There are nearly 30 job openings on its career site now.

“Quartz is a breath of fresh air, especially compared with the legacy publishers,” said Brian Ko, managing partner-digital at media agency MEC. “It’s also, for lack of a better word, innovative,” he added, citing Quartz’s sleek, mobile-first look and emphasis on native advertising, where ads are meant to look like editorial content on the site.

PuppySwap, o “serviço de filhotes por assinatura”

filhotes

Imagine se, ao adotar um cãozinho, você tivesse a possibilidade de trocá-lo por outro filhote após alguns meses, quando ele começasse a crescer? Esta é a proposta do PuppySwap, um “serviço de filhotes por assinatura”. Basta logar, escolher a raça e cor e pronto, o bichinho é entregue em sua casa.

E se o cãozinho começa a crescer e dar mais trabalho do que você esperava, basta trocar por um novo filhote. Em resumo, o serviço permite que você tenha um cão, mas não precise se comprometer com sua criação. Fácil, não?

Se você também se revoltou com o absurdo deste serviço – e conseguiu chegar até aqui neste texto, antes de sair xingando nos comentários -, saiba que o PuppySwap não existe. Ele faz parte de uma campanha criada pela agência canadense Grip para a Toronto Humane Society, com o objetivo de conscientizar as pessoas sobre o abandono de animais.

No final do vídeo, há a informação de que, anualmente, 180 mil animais chegam a abrigos no Canadá e pelo menos 40% deles nunca saem de lá. Ter um bichinho é um comprometimento para a vida, e não deve ser encarado de forma leviana.
