New York Times, BuzzFeed to Publish Directly to Facebook


Nine major domestic and international publishers including The New York Times and BuzzFeed will begin publishing articles and videos directly to Facebook as part of an initiative called Instant Articles, Facebook announced on Wednesday.

The highly anticipated partnership will certainly have many other publishers calling their Facebook reps on Wednesday asking how they, too, can get involved. At the start, the media companies rolling out on Instant Articles are the Times, BuzzFeed, National Geographic, NBC, The Atlantic, The Guardian, BBC News, Spiegel and Bild.

“Fundamentally, this is a tool that enables publishers to provide a better experience for their readers on Facebook,” Chris Cox, Facebook’s chief product officer, said in a statement. “Instant Articles lets them deliver fast, interactive articles while maintaining control of their content and business models.”

The CMO's Guide to Agency Procurement


Agency and marketer executives don’t always see eye to eye, but many do agree they’re not fond of procurement. In a recent Association of National Advertisers survey, only 47% of clients believed procurement added value. Agencies rated it even lower — just 10% of agency respondents said they felt procurement added value to the client-agency relationship.

In presentations to the ANA Advertising Financial Management Conference in April in Phoenix, Diageo’s Marc Strachan and American Express Co.’s Eve Reiter set out to change that perception with guidelines that could help CMOs make creative agency procurement and management work better.

Millennials Embrace Upstart Financial Brands


Tarik Ancrum, 27, began saving for retirement when he was 21 years old. He has a handful of go-to finance blogs and books, dabbles in the stock market and invests in an employer-sponsored 401(k) plan. As a personal-finance enthusiast who advises financial advisers, Mr. Ancrum may be more immersed in finance than others his age, but he’s certainly not alone. He represents the growing segment of millennials who are taking charge of their money early on. “We just want to know and be in control of our own future,” said Mr. Ancrum. “You’re never sure what can happen.”

After coming of age in the recession, facing a tough job market and being burdened with heavy student debt, many millennials are distrustful of big banks and traditional financial advisers. They’re relying instead on their own research and user-friendly robo-advisers like Betterment, Wealthfront and Acorns, which have more modest management fees and no or low minimums.

“We’re a generation that’s come of age in a world of algorithms, big data and automated analysis,” said Nicholas Roach, 31, who uses Betterment and Scottrade and has a 401(k) plan. “It only makes sense our investments are a part of that culture, too.”

The Real 'Mad Men' Diaries: David Ogilvy


This is final installation in Ad Age’s award-winning series, The Real “Mad Men” Diaries, and it’s fitting that we end on a giant: David Ogilvy.

From his red suspenders to his abundant charm, Mr. Ogilvy was the quintessential Mad Man. But unlike Don Draper or even Peggy Olsen, Mr. Ogilvy was first and foremost a print guy.

Ken Roman, the former Ogilvy & Mather CEO who literally wrote the book on David Ogilvy — “The King of Madison Avenue: David Ogilvy and the Making of Modern Advertising” — says the legendary adman had a distinctive flair for drama. But as a creative, he was very practical, a defender of research and a champion of the client.

FCB Chicago Picks Up More A-B InBev Work with Ritas, MixxTail


FCB Chicago has picked up more work from A-B InBev, a marketer the agency first brought in at the beginning of the year.

The Interpublic agency now will be handling work for the Ritas brands, along with MixxTail. The agency two months ago picked up Bud Light Lime’s summer push. It picked up the Michelob Ultra account, which is handled out of its Chicago and Toronto offices, in January.

The company confirmed the move, but called them “projects,” though executives familiar with the matter said that the agency will handle work for the brands for 2015 and 2016. FCB referred calls to the client.

Sudden Stop Photography

Pour la marque Nïuku, Julot Bandit revient avec une nouvelle série de clichés en noir et blanc où les modèles flottent tous en lévitation et défient les lois de la gravité. Sur la citation « It’s not the fall that kills you, it’s the sudden stop », il a laissé la liberté à ses modèles de sauter et de chuter, comme ils le souhaitent, comme suspendus par l’apesanteur.
