Wear the cause. Fight against animal slaughter.

Mozambique Fashion Week has a non-usage aggreament of any kind of illegal animal material-fabric on the Designers Collections. In the past years barbaric poaching has increased to new and alarming numbers and being this sort of criminal activity related to the fashion industry and Africa being its main supply, it was just natural to help raising awareness about this serious issue.

ECD Leaves MEplusYOU After 15 Years

meplusyou logo

We hear that some changes are afoot at Dallas-based MEplusYOU.

The Agencies of Change shop, which officially rebranded from imc2 almost exactly three years ago, lost its creative lead — and we hear that it may drop its new name as well.

Renee McKeon was promoted to ECD in September 2013 to replace the departing CCO and FCB veteran Michael Davis, who left to run brand creative for DVD rental company Redbox (he’s now head of creative at Chicago’s Conversant Media).

Last month, McKeon also left MEplusYou after more than 15 years for an ECD/Senior UX position with nearby Bottle Rocket (which was acquired by WPP in 2013). That agency, which specializes in mobile app and software design and includes Starwood, BET, Coca-Cola, and Showtime among its clients, often works in concert with Ogilvy’s tech teams.

Bottle Rocket does not seem to have announced her arrival, and GCD Jason Shipp is the only creative currently listed on MEplusYOU’s people page.

A small-scale exodus of sorts occurred at the agency last Summer as well: within the space of several months, CSO Mark McKinney and SVP Tim Rumpler left for Dallas agency TM Advertising while former SVP of Tech Rahul Purini and VP of Program Management Melynnie Nehib went to Razorfish.

Most of the departing executives were, like McKeon, veterans of the shop: Nehib spent more than 13 years there before leaving.

A source tells us that the MEplusYOU will soon announce plans to revert to its previous moniker in a “rebranding” of sorts, but we can’t confirm that. We were unable to reach a relevant party within the agency itself.

Google Likely to Face Charges in Europe for Antitrust Violations


Google Inc. has been told it will face charges by the European Union that it violated antitrust rules, people with knowledge of the matter said.

A decision will probably be announced this week, said the people, who asked not to be identified since the matter isn’t public.

Google and rivals are preparing for a decision after more than four years of regulatory scrutiny, raising the prospects of fines and constraints on how it delivers internet search. Under the new leadership of Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, the EU stepped up the probe into Google in December, when regulators sought additional information from rivals involved in internet maps, travel and other services. Google gets about one-third of its revenue from the region.

Schick Sidesteps Subtlety in TrimStyle Razor Spot


Every weekday, we bring you the Ad Age/iSpot Hot Spots, new and trending TV commercials tracked by iSpot.tv, a company that catalogs, tags and measures activity around TV ads in real time. The New Releases here ran on TV for the first time yesterday. The Most Engaging ads are showing sustained social heat, ranked by SpotShare scores reflecting the percent of digital activity associated with each one over the past week. See the methodology here.

Among the new releases, Lewis and Clark remind a young man that true greatness is achieved with the help of foods like Oscar Mayer turkey, nuts or cheese, not with newfangled “power goop.” And a photographer is bitten by a snake in a Toyota 4Runner spot.

And then, without any pretense of subtley, Schick presents its Hydro Silk TrimStyle, which helps you trim your shrubbery in a variety of shapes — hearts, strips or whatever you fancy.

Crackle Bows New TV-Like Interface (Always Playing), Unveils Scripted Shows


Crackle on Tuesday unveiled a live-streaming user interface that it believes will offer viewers (and advertisers) a curated experience designed to replicate the look and feel of good ol’ linear TV.

In its first official upfront presentation since announcing it would ditch the cluttered NewFronts scene, the Sony-owned Crackle took the wraps off “Always On,” a new format that begins playing full-screen video as soon as the user launches the app.

As the video plays — let’s say it’s an installment of Jerry Seinfeld’s popular “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” — the user can toggle through a menu of content related to that particular streaming program. The new format replicates the old “eureka!” sensation of stumbling across something good while channel surfing, while also making the search functionality a more user-friendly experience.

BBDO NY Introduces Perfect Portions for Sheba

BBDO New York launched a new spot for Mars cat food brand Sheba entitled “Snap, Peel, Slurp, Purr.”

The spot introduces the brand’s new Perfect Portions product, which attempts to take the mess out of cat food by providing perfect portions within one container. Two containers comes strapped together, so cat owners can snap off one for each meal and not have to worry about dishing out food for their feline friend or store leftovers in the fridge. The 20-second “Snap, Peel, Slurp, Purr” illustrates the idea simply, with each word followed by a simple illustration. It opens and closes with the line “A Fresh Meal Every Peel,” driving home the idea that using the product makes meal time simple. The integrated campaign also includes supporting digital efforts, consumer sampling programs, in-store displays and PR support.

For Tax Day, BBDO Tells the True Story of a Woman Who Tried to Write Off a Snickers Bar

Tax Day isn’t usually a time for great brand creativity, but BBDO New York goes the extra mile this year with a short documentary about an Arizona woman who tried to write off a Snickers bar in 2005.

She was audited, and the authorities took a dim view of her audacity.

Also, it’s a true story. BBDO found the woman’s case online, pitched her the concept and flew to her hometown in Arizona to shoot the film.

The Alphabet Shaped by Black Dots

Typeworks est une série de posters imaginés par la graphiste Silvia Baz qui a voulu représenter toutes les lettres de l’alphabet à travers des nuances de pois noirs sur des fonds blancs. Inspirée par la citation de Goethe : « The hardest thing to see is what is in front of your eyes », elle a nuancé la taille des pois pour que la lettre apparaisse très nettement quand on s’éloigne du poster.

#AADigital: Are Attention Metrics the Future?


Measuring ad performance against frequency and impressions is so yesterday. “Time spent” is now the hot new metric that buyers, sellers, measurement vendors and marketers are counting on to overcome viewability concerns and cross screens.

“There are two things that are proven to show recall recognition,” said Tony Haile, CEO of Chartbeat, speaking on a panel addressing the topic of attention metrics at Ad Age’s Digital Conference. “One is the quality of the creative. The second is the amount of time that ad acrues. Price on that time, and attention becomes a way for marketers to be more effective, and for publishers to have engaging content. The more they can capture in view, the more that ad is worth. It’s a sustainable business model going forward.”

It might be sustainable, but for now, the metric, which is being tested by the Financial Times, is not quite so widespread.
