Every Brand Wanted a Piece of #TheDress, but Who Wore It Best?

What a day the Internet had yesterday. First we by MacVx”>watched llamas on the loose. Then, just after 6 p.m., BuzzFeed posted what might be its single most-shared article ever: “What Colors Are This Dress.”

If you’re unaware—which is impossible, unless you live in a cave—the story pointed to a Tumblr discussion about the color of a dress. Welp, the Internet exploded—and so did the brands, which swarmed the topic like flies.

See some of the tweets below. Hooray for net neutrality! I guess?

Two Small Agency Award Winners Are Still Battling Each Other

Two winners from Ad Age’s 2014 Small Agency Awards are still battling it out. One of the two international Agency of the Year (Silver) winners, Buenos Aires agency +Castro, was delighted to be awinner but knowing there was another Silver winner in the international category stirred up the Argentines’ competitive spirit.

+Castro, the agency explains in the video, decided there was only one thing to do: challenge South African agency and fellow Silver winner Volcano to a playoff: “Three challenges that will put to the test the most important and professional skills an agency should have.”

That would be beer pong, a staring contest and a pole dance.

Dono da Netflix oferece assinatura vitalícia a Silvio Santos

netflix-logo

Silvio Santos é um gênio. Aos 84 anos, Senor Abravanel não é apenas um empresário de sucesso, mas é também um apresentador carismático e com fãs fiéis. E com a vantagem de ser o dono da emissora onde comanda um programa semanal que leva o seu nome, fala o que quiser e não tem que responder a ninguém. Como aconteceu no último domingo, quando contou que não assiste televisão e gosta mesmo é de cinema.

Até aí tudo bem, mas Silvio continuou e contou que está assistindo a uma série na Netflix, Bíblia – segundo ele, “espetacular, grande produção”. Depois, olhou diretamente para a câmera e soltou o seguinte comentário:

Se você não tem Netflix na sua casa, passe a ter. A mensalidade é de R$ 18,90, creio eu, e o dono da Netflix nos Estados Unidos deve estar me vendo e deve mandar para mim um mês de graça”.

No melhor estilo “peça e será atendido”, Reed Hastings, o dono da Netflix, não só resolveu oferecer uma assinatura vitalícia do serviço ao Patrão, como ainda recomendou a ele uma outra série, House of Cards. A série, produzida pela Netflix, estreia hoje sua terceira temporada.

Humanoïde: Ripped

We have convinced Humanoïde to tear out a single page from the new issue of their magazine. By selling a magazine with a page that’s been ripped out, Glory Paris wants to show that turning a paper page is still a special kind of pleasure.? Humanoïde is a new magazine about technology and its impact on our society. Humanoïde–whose tagline is “technology is the opium of people”– features articles on technological innovations and how they can influence our daily life.? Each year, the end of print is announced, and yet print survives. What’s more, a new print magazine dedicated to new technologies is created. Even though logic might suggest that Humanoïde should be digital, this new print magazine has been launched and is sold in newsstands.? For the third issue of Humanoïde, the well-know and respected novelist Laurent Gaudé (Goncourt Prize 2004) has written an article on how intimate paper is to a writer. Humanoïde calls for the defense of paper in the future.

Surreal Human Landscapes Collages

L’artiste espagnole Rocio Montoya, dont nous avons déjà parlé pour ses portraits et collages fleuris, revient avec une série intitulée « The Island » qui s’intéresse à la femme comme une île. Commissionnée par le site Trendland, l’idée était de parler du corps féminin comme d’un paysage surréaliste en utilisant des éléments symboliques de la nature et de la déconstruction d’un buste.

Capsule Hotel in Kyoto

Le Japon, Kyoto et son manque d’espace ont vu germer ces dernières années une multitude d’hotels capsules, dont le dernier en date a été baptisée le Nine Hours. Le principe ? S’accommoder d’une douche, d’une chambre capsulaire et de quoi se restaurer dans un temps imparti de 9 heures et un parcours fléché bien précis.

Netflix Isn't Closed to Advertisers After All; Just Ask Anheuser-Busch InBev


Netflix doesn’t feature ads on its streaming video service. It likely never will. But product placement is a different matter.

What has been suspected has been confirmed: Brands can arrange to have their products appear in Netflix’s original series.

Anheuser-Busch InBev has signed a deal to be the exclusive beer marketer featured in the new season of Netflix’s original series “House of Cards,” which premieres on February 27. The company’s Stella Artois, Budweiser and Shock Top brands will appear in the third season’s episodes, building on a partnership that dates back to the first season of “House of Cards.” The company is not paying for the placement and is instead providing stock for props.

Sparkling Lipton Tea Looks to Fill Soda Void


Is bubbly tea a cure for the soda blues? Lipton’s new Sparkling Iced Tea might offer some clues.

The Pepsi Lipton Tea Partnership, which is a joint venture between PepsiCo and Unilever, recently launched the “lightly carbonated” tea in lemonade, raspberry and peach flavors. On Monday, Lipton will support the launch with a new TV ad by DDB, New York, that touts the product as “the goodness of tea infused with light, crisp, tiny bubbles.”

Tea sales are enjoying strong sales growth of late and PepsiCo is outperforming the category. Tea is smaller than the carbonated soft drink category, but soda sales are slumping partly as a result of health concerns. So bubbly teas have the potential to at least counter some of the soda decline for big beverage marketers.
