Six Things You Didn't Know about McCann N.Y. CCOs Sean Bryan and Tom Murphy


We step out of the box today by featuring a pair of creatives in Six Things, but for good reason. McCann New York Chief Creative Officers Sean Bryan and Tom Murphy have been a pair longer than they’ve been married to their own wives. This month, they celebrate 20 years together as a team since they first met at JWT New York. Some context: That was when “Friends” was a hot new sitcom, OJ was driving around in a white bronco, and Sean “had an ill-advised goatee.”

Since then, they moved to DDB, where they worked on Budweiser, BudLight and Cars.com as well as the launch of McDonald’s “I’m Loving It.” In 2004 they moved to McCann’s flagship in New York and became chief creative officers three years ago, helping to add a dozen new clients and expand the agency’s category-base. They also led some standout work, for clients such as Verizon, Sony, Staples and Holiday Inn. We most recently saw them on Jose Cuervo on a Cinco De Mayo campaign that made a gorgeous mural of U.S. citizens’ ridiculous interpretations of the holiday; the funny, but eye-opening Evolve campaign that used dildos and maxi-pads to highlight the importance of gun safety for Evolve; and a Nikon effort showcasing the fun family life of gay fathers Kordale and Kaleb Lewis.

But they share a lot more than just work, as we’ll find out in this edition of Six Things.

A Trip Through Nordic Lands

Les photographes Daniel Taipale et Samuel Taipale sont deux frères originaires de Finlande. Sur leurs comptes Instagram respectifs, ils nous font voyager à travers la Finlande et la Norvège. Au regard de leurs clichés, nous passons par des paysages enneigés, des forêts de pins, des nuits étoilées ou encore illuminées par de sublimes aurores boréales. Des instantanées parfois oniriques.

Spotify throws casual sexism into Mother's Day tweet, gets schooled.

“Ahead of #Mothersday, how would you explain Spotify to your mom?” Was the question posted in the now deleted Spotify tweet. As soon as it was tweeted out, people responded offended by the “ageist/sexist” tweet. It’s never wise to mess with peoples moms.

Happy Mother’s Day, mom! I will now mansplain @spotify for you.— Kristen Chase (@thatkristen) May 9, 2015

Hey kids, Mom here…explain this situation to @spotify? Because apparently my biz degree+IT background => stupid https://t.co/nIbgwxWO6m— Femme Malheureuse (@Femme_Mal) May 9, 2015

Looks like if I decide to start paying for streaming music, this engineer, coder, mom will be using @pandora_radio over @Spotify .— Kim Curry (@stargazer_412) May 9, 2015

. @SpotifyCares long time premium user here: really disappointed with your ageist/sexist #MothersDay promotion. My mom already uses @spotify— Sean Markey (@seanmarkey) May 9, 2015

Should’ve taken a screenshot. The gist: “How would you explain @Spotify to your mom? ‘The cloud…no, not those clouds.'”— Ashley Myers (@OrganizeFISH) May 9, 2015

Big Lots Pits Babies Against Dogs in Equally Cute Battle

Talk about cuteness overload. Big Lots pretty much makes our Friday with a series of spots involving a match-up between puppies and babies. This campaign from Chicago-based OKRP, which signed Big Lots in January 2014, did warm our hearts a bit at the end of an odd week.

Agency co-founder Tom O’Keefe told AdFreak:

“We have less than three seconds to get customers’ attention on social platforms and thought we’d play to the most popular Internet content.”

Nothing seems to activate social sharing and comments like funny and cute–so who do you favor, #TeamDoggies or #TeamBabies?

Can we say both?

Client: Big Lots
Chief Customer Officer: Andrew Stein
Director of Marketing Strategy: Brandi Ply

Energy BBDO No Longer Lay’s AOR

The enterprising Mr. Lewis Lazare of Chicago Business Journal got a client spokesman to confirm today that Energy BBDO will no longer be AOR for Lay’s.

We’ve received tips about an unspecified change in the Lay’s account for a couple of weeks but didn’t get anything in the way of confirmation despite some hints that Energy BBDO would not be creating any new campaigns for the chip brand.

From Frito-Lay:

“Our approach across our entire portfolio of brands is to lean into different combinations of agency partners based on the needs and priorities of our brands at the time. Energy BBDO is not currently engaged for the Lay’s brand.”

This sounds a whole lot like the industry refrain about clients thinking of agencies as “partners” rather than AORs.

The underlying story here, though, is that the change has been in the works for some time; Energy BBDO has not created any major work for this particular client for several months. Its Mr. Potato Head “cannibalism” campaign came out in February, and the Lay’s “Flavor” campaign ran in 2014, so the change in the relationship is not exactly new–it’s simply being reported now for the first time.

In an April post about staffing changes at BBDO’s Chicago office related to AB InBev’s Manhattan relocation, our sources alluded to employees jumping from one account to another. These changes, as they relate to the Lay’s business, occurred several weeks or months ago.

To further complicate the picture, BBDO has not broken up with the larger PepsiCo organization as it continues to handle the Quaker business.

No word on whether Frito-Lay will seek another agency of record for future Lay’s campaigns.

Le photographe Lasse Henning s’est rendu dans les Îles Lofoten au nord de la Norvège, proche du cercle polaire arctique. Il en est revenu avec des clichés à couper le souffle, qu’il a regroupé dans un timelapse où les nuances de bleus des paysages se succèdent, entrecoupées par les nuits ornées d’aurores boréales et les couchers de soleil.
