Old People in Streetwear

Le photographe anglais Alex de Mora a toujours été plus fasciné par les mannequins âgés que par les jeunes. Il a cherché des modèles de plus de 60 ans pour un shooting, en collaboration avec Vice Magazine, et les a habillés dans un style streetwear. La styliste Kylie Griffiths, la set-designer Penny Mills, le coiffeur Sami Knight et la maquilleuse Lydia Warhurst l’ont aidé à faire correspondre les couleurs.

Nokia Taps Wired for Seven-Figure Content-Marketing Campaign


Nokia — the technology supplier, not the mobile phones — wants to remind you it still exists.

The Finnish company, which sold its phone business to Microsoft last year and makes most of its money from selling equipment to telecomm giants like Verizon and Sprint, is paying Wired magazine to produce an editorial-style website called MakeTechHuman that aims “to start a conversation about where technology is taking humanity.” Topics will likely include security, privacy and jobs.

The year-long, multi-million dollar campaign — which includes print ads and events — is “really both about showing that Nokia is still not just alive but strong and also contributing to resolving some big global issues,” according to Barry French, head of marketing and corporate affairs at Nokia, which marks its 150th anniversary this year.

Honey Directly From The Beehive

Flow Hive est une ruche dotée d’un système très simple permettant de récolter son miel directement à partir de la ruche. Le système puise le miel et le verse sur un bec relié à des récipients. La collecte de l’édulcorant naturel est moins difficile à la fois pour les apiculteurs et plus sûr pour leurs abeilles. Tous les apiculteurs qui ont testé l’appareil conviennent à l’unanimité de son bon fonctionnement.

Energy Logic: Almost, 1

Ad campaign for Energy Logic, makers and distributors of waste oil heaters. Large garages have a lot of waste oil that needs to be discarded, but instead of having it removed at a cost to the garage, they can use it to heat their building. We felt using humor to communicate the idea of warmth in a category that is typically product focused instead of benefit focused would help our client stand out. It also let them show a little bit of brand personality. An island trip giveaway was created to coincide with the campaign.

Viacom's Dauman: Restructuring Will Save Media Conglomerate $250 Million


Viacom’s ongoing realignment at its cable networks should be completed before April 1 and will save on the order of a quarter of a billion dollars, the media conglomerate said Monday.

Speaking to investors at the Deutsche Bank Media, Internet & Telecom Conference, Viacom President-CEO Philippe Dauman said he was “very pleased” with the way the re-org was progressing, adding that the “it will be largely done by the end of the month.” Mr. Dauman said the restructuring of the MTV Networks brands would result in a savings “in excess of $250 million, annualized.”

Over the last 30 days, Viacom has consolidated its music and entertainment networks — a collective that includes MTV, VH1, Comedy Central and Spike — under Doug Herzog and announced the departure of longtime MTV boss Van Toffler.

TBWAMAL Reimagines Timepieces for Apple

In case you managed to maintain some sort of all-media blackout over the past 24 hours, you know that the introduction of the Apple Watch was the only important thing happening on planet Earth today.

Cupertino also debuted the first ad for the watch more than six weeks before it hits the shelves at your nearest Apple Store.

Like the company’s past campaigns, this one comes to us from TBWA’s Media Arts Lab unit. Here’s “The Watch Reimagined”:

This campaign is very similar to MAL’s work promoting the company’s most recent iPhone model in that it fetishes both the object’s sleek appearance and its varied, presumably life-altering functions.

The ad casts Apple Watch as an inevitability that will compel all tech-savvy consumers via the power of its own hype, but as perpetual late adopters we’re still not quite sure why we might want one.
