Posted in: UncategorizedIs Facebook Becoming the Apple of Digital Ad Sales?
Posted in: UncategorizedFacebook has become the Apple of digital ad sales. The social network is able to push its ubiquitous product to increasingly higher prices seemingly without any pushback from its customers.
In the first quarter of 2015, Facebook got its advertising customers to pay 285% more money per ad than they did a year ago as the social network served 62% fewer ads year-over-year.
As a result Facebook has been able to increase the amount of money it makes per user year-over-year even as it adds users. Facebook ended the first quarter with 1.44 billion people who check it every month, 936 million who check it every day and 798 million who check it every day on mobile.
Prudential – The Fisherman – (2015) :60 (South Africa)
Posted in: UncategorizedThe really realistic feeling casting comes from the fact that the talent consists largely of amateur actors from the local villages in Madagascar where all of this is shot. It’s entirely possible that the wiry man who plays the fisherman spent many days of his life sailing just like so. It’s a gorgeously scenic film, that should get some attention at the coming award shows. Nicely done Lowe Cape Town & director Kim Geldenhuis.
Huge Helps Morgan Stanley Proclaim That ‘Capital Creates Change’
Posted in: UncategorizedAfter seemingly languishing on the advertising front for the last few years, financial giant Morgan Stanley has returned in a big way with a multi-faceted campaign that began earlier this year with a website refresh and continues with the spot above — both courtesy of Brooklyn-based, IPG-owned agency Huge.
With the “Capital Creates Change” campaign, Morgan Stanley aims to shift its identity from that of some faceless corporate power to one that’s both people-oriented and positive. As part of its efforts to “change the world” in its own way (as stated by the voiceover in the ad), Morgan Stanley shines a light on “visionary companies” like Alibaba and Netflix that it’s worked with with to go beyond just creating wealth.
On Morgan Stanley’s website, the company gets into specifics about successful collaborations with the two aforementioned brands; it helped Alibaba expand its e-commerce reach in China and wrote the “financial script” for Netflix.
The campaign, which also includes print, social and other digital components, marks the first major branding project from Morgan Stanley under the direction of CMO Mandell Crawley, who took over the position last September.
Deutsch NY Produces Teen ‘Zitcom’ for Benzac
Posted in: UncategorizedIn order to more effectively cater to that touchy teen demographic, the latest campaign from Deutsch’s New York office manages to mash up Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and Mean Girls to promote client Benzac and its zit-killer cream…in spirit, at least.
“The Benzacs” is a teen insta-dramedy which largely takes place on the client’s Instagram page because, as any market research firm worth half a zit will tell you, that’s where the young people are these days (it has double the engagement rate of Facebook, DUH).
The work also includes TV spots set to air on MTV, Comedy Central, TeenNick, etc. Here’s the first episode, which chronicles the bumpy road to clear skin for Ivy, Cam, Oak and Essy:
The next entry reminds us that the key to all that super-clear skin is East Indian sandalwood, of course:
The campaign will run for three weeks on Instagram, and during that time bored teens will get to know Ivy, who really just wants to have clear skin (and that one cute boy)…
Here’s a basic plot summary:
A video posted by Benzac (@benzacacne) on Apr 18, 2015 at 8:55am PDT
Got it? It’s all about the “the fun, friendship and day-to-day teen drama” of high school with the added bonus of pimple-free skin.
If only we’d all been so (un)lucky.

Posted in: UncategorizedDroga5 Presents the Toyota Mirai as ‘Fueled by Bullsh*t’
Posted in: UncategorizedDroga5 launched a new campaign called “Fueled by Everything,” introducing the hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai with the launch spot, “Fueled by Bullsh*t,” directed by Super Size Me’s Morgan Spurlock.
The online ad begins by reminding viewers of the ubiquity of hydrogen, “the most abundant element in the universe,” which is just about everywhere, before tackling criticism of the idea of hydrogen-powered vehicles.
“The ongoing joke is that fuel-cell vehicles are 15 years away and always will be,” Doug Coleman, national vehicle marketing manager-Prius family, electric and fuel cell vehicles at Toyota Motor sales, told AdAge. “The Mirai is not just a new model, but a whole new category, a whole new fuel source. There are a lot of misperceptions of what hydrogen is, where it comes from and does it make sense to use.”
The ad quotes skeptics as saying things such as “Fuel cells are dead on arrival,” “Hydrogen is inefficient,” It’s a pipe dream,” and even, just “Bullsh*t.” Engineer Scott Blanchett addresses that last one saying, “…they’re right, but not in the way they think.” The remainder of the ad follows the transformation of a truckload of manure into usable hydrogen fuel. Scott gets the manure from a dairy farmer and then transports it to the digester, where it is broken down and releases raw biogas. Purified gas is then taken to steam methane reformer, where the hydrogen is stripped out using steam and heat to make usable fuel. It’s a pretty clever way to denounce hydrogen critics and hype the launch of the new vehicle and despite the lengthy run time (past the three minute mark), the ad doesn’t feel too drawn out, as it provides a detailed look at the process of turning manure into fuel.
“Fueled by Bullsh*t” launched today on the Toyota Mirai website, social video sites such as YouTube and Hulu and Forbes.com. The campaign will continue rolling out through the fall, with a series of videos detailing other everyday sources for hydrogen fuel.
