Parody Ad: Doritos Addiction Leads to Rain-Forest Destruction

The spot was timed to coincide with Doritos announcement of the top 10 finalists for the PepsiCo-owned brand’s “Crash the Super Bowl” user-generated ad contest.

McCann NY Celebrates Jose Cuervo’s 220th Anniversary

McCann New York launched a new digital campaign for Jose Cuervo today, promoting the limited edition Jose Cuervo Especial Gold and Silver bottles the brand is releasing in celebration of its 220th anniversary.

The animated 30-second spot, called “The Blacksmith,” shows a blacksmith hammering away to create the gold and silver bottles of Cuervo Especial. Brooding music matches the dark animation, which fit the Dia de los Muertos inspired artwork on the bottles, an homage to Jose Cuervo’s Mexican roots. In support of the video, the brand’s Instagram feed has been slowly revealing details about the new bottles since January 11th. Animated GIFS on Jose Cuervo’s social channels will follow today’s video release.

Mizuno Leaves McKinney, Launches Agency Review

Shoemaker Mizuno is currently conducting an agency review.

The Japanese footwear brand, which went from Shine to McKinney almost exactly three years ago, will not be renewing its contract with the Durham-based agency when it expires at the end of February.

A McKinney spokesperson writes:

We can confirm that McKinney is ending its partnership with Mizuno and it was a great run with five Effies, a WARC Prize for Social Strategy and Most Effective Brand in North America. Mizuno is a challenger brand with limited resources and we couldn’t be prouder to have produced such  groundbreaking work. We are actively pursuing a number of other, larger scale opportunities.

McKinney’s most recent campaign for Mizuno was “What If Everybody Ran,” which included the brand’s first-ever US TV spot along with a corresponding webpage and social media push; the project earned coverage in The New York Times.

A source told us several weeks ago, however, that the client wants its marketing strategy to focus less on video ads moving forward — a sentiment that fits with McKinney’s statement regarding budgetary concerns.

We know that Mizuno is currently involved in an (unannounced) agency review, but our sources did not list the shops competing for the account and the client has not responded to multiple requests for comment.

Updates as we receive them.

ESPN's Grantland Earns Three National Magazine Award Nominations


ESPN will be well-represented at this year’s National Magazine Awards.

Not only did its eponymous magazine earn a nomination in the reporting category, but the ESPN-owned website Grantland captured three National Magazine Award nominations from the American Society of Magazine Editors, in the video, feature writing and columns and commentary categories.

The website, started in 2011 and run by popular sports columnist Bill Simmons, is known for publishing long magazine-style articles about sports and pop culture. Last January, Mr. Simmons and ESPN apologized for the site’s handling of an article about a transgendered woman who invented a magic putter. The woman, known as Dr. V., killed herself before the story was published. But the American Society of Magazine Editors, known as ASME, nominated Grantland for episodes one, two and three of the video series “The Finish Line”; the feature story “Sea of Crisis” by Brian Phillips and three columns by Wesley Morris: “Let’s Be Real,” “After Normal,” and “If U Seek Amy.”

180LA Eliminates Excuses for Expedia

180LA recently launched a pair of spots shots in and around Tokyo for Expedia entitled “No Excuses” and “Someplace New.”

In the 30-second “No Excuses” a young woman rattles off a list of excuse for not using her vacation days to travel (“I just don’t have the money to travel right now,” “If I had friends to go with I’d go, but I don’t want to travel by myself,” etc.) while she is shown taking a trip to Tokyo and having a blast. “There are no more excuses: find the hotel you want and the flight you want, and we’ll find the savings to get you there,” concludes the voiceover. The spot is well put together, with the fun Tokyo locations timed to break down the woman’s arguments.

Tokyo also functions into “Someplace New” which laments that 85 percent of people who travel go someplace they’ve already been before asking, “Where’s the fun in that?” Again, the city’s distinct personality — and specifically the iconic Robot Restaurant — helps give weight to the persuasion.

“I wanted our hero’s journey to be seen as an enlightening experience: She found the courage to do this trip, and was rewarded,” said Cap Gun Collective director Tom Haines. “Expedia wanted to show a different way of thinking about travel, and I was really attracted to that message. It really gave us the opportunity to tell an interesting, more emotional story.”

New York Times, AP to Start Testing Drones for Reporting


A group of 10 U.S. media companies, including the New York Times Co., the Associated Press and NBC Universal, will test the use of drones for news gathering, seeking to persuade the government to broaden the commercial use of the small unmanned aircraft.

The news organizations will join Virginia Tech University to study the use of drones at one of six test areas approved by Congress, according to a statement today.

The media companies are trying to gain U.S. approval for the use of drones to cover breaking news events that would otherwise be too expensive or dangerous to capture in person. The Federal Aviation Administration prohibits the commercial use of the small aircraft, though it has made some exceptions.
