Chicken Fries That Go Crunch — And Won't Turn Your Fingers Orange


Starting Monday, Burger King will air Code and Theory’s first-ever TV commercial to officially announce the product. That 15-second spot has the look of a post-game press conference featuring Chester Cheetah and Burger King’s King in front of a screen bearing their brands’ logos.

For digitally-focused Code and Theory, having a commercial air on TV “is a milestone for the agency, for sure,” said Code and Theory Managing Partner Steve Baer.

Still, Mr. Baer added that where a piece runs is not as important in today’s world, when digital content can have big reach as well. Code and Theory is part of a roster of agencies that work with Burger King, along with David, Horizon on media and Alison Brod PR.

How Brands Should Be Marketing Wellness to Women


No one can deny that marketers have made great strides in recent years accepting more realistic depictions of women instead of idealizing them. But, we still have a ways to go in the health and wellness industry. We’re still constantly being told how to act, eat and feel, and it’s hindering the very pillars of the industry.

Here are some common mistakes brands make when talking to female consumers about their health, diets and body issues:

1. Preaching vs. conversing. Women don’t want to be preached to about their health and wellness. All women’s health and body issues differ, so marketers need to stop treating us all the same, and instead have conversations with us about various solutions.

Venmo Strives to Maintain Market Share by Putting Ponies in New Ads

“This is our opportunity to drive awareness and to showcase our personality,” said Kasia Leyden, who joined Venmo a year ago as marketing director. “It came together in a really clear way as a rallying cry against those awkward moments of having to ask someone to pay you back.”

She noted that the campaign is primarily aimed at millennials, the demographic that already is Venmo’s primary user. Previously, Venmo ran a 2014 viral campaign that included some subway placements, but the majority of its marketing has been through word-of-mouth.

The company, which processes more than $1 billion in monthly payments, is boosting its marketing at a time when the competition is catching up. Though Venmo has the distinction of being one of the first of its kind to market, and recognizable enough to be used as a verb, its popularity has attracted the attention of larger rivals. Next month, a group of banks including JP Morgan Chase are rolling out their own person-to-person payment service, which will be called Zelle, according to reports.

Will You Live to 100? Marketers Are Betting on It


For the first time, in 2015 growth of skincare products fell below that of fragrances, something NPD Group analyst Karen Grant attributes to a slowdown in antiaging skincare. Replacing it somewhat are supplements designed to “work from the inside out,” she said. Dollar sales of supplements to improve facial appearance alone have grown fivefold in two years, albeit to a modest $4.1 million in 2015, even as sales of antiaging products declined.

Skin creams are not disappearing; the focus and marketplace are shifting. One of the fastest-growing beauty brands of recent years has been Rodan & Fields, which saw sales nearly double last year to $626 million, marketed heavily on Facebook by independent distributors and fueled in part by millennials turning to preventive skincare.

Rodan & Fields’ core consumer averages a bit younger than that for traditional antiaging products at 40, said Lynn Emmolo, chief brand officer. But millennials much younger than that are a major segment for the brand. “Millennials are looking at skincare at an earlier age, but they’re not thinking of antiaging,” Ms. Emmolo said. “They’re thinking about prevention, so part of our line is about the prevention storyproducts that have SPF protection and treat skin to prevent problems.”

Pharmaceutical Marketers Need to Take a Chill Pill


Are pharmaceutical executives insane or have they simply been dipping into the product a little too much? It’s a rude question, I know, but it’s one worth asking.

I was a little flummoxed by some of the industry “reasoning” put forward in our piece about pharmaceutical companies turning to terror tactics in their marketing.

To be clear, no one’s confused about why companies are using scare tactics. Because fearmongering works. It’s Advertising 101. And there’s no better way to monger some fear than “Buy this or die.”

Yes He Can? Here's How Trump Could Win


Maybe, just maybe, some of the normal rules of American politics are relevant to the utterly abnormal, wildly unruly 2016 presidential campaign cycle. Perhaps logic — particularly the elemental logic of political advertising, messaging and branding — applies to The Donald & Hillary Show after all.

In other words, what’s been happening recently — Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump narrowing (FiveThirtyEight had her chance of winning dipping to 69.5% as of Sept. 8) — is happening for a reason.

Let’s start with the advertising. In fact, let’s start with one particular ad released by the Clinton campaign a couple weeks ago in the form of an online video. Because it says a lot about how the Clinton campaign regards the art of political persuasion right now.

Jean-Marie Dru on Why Disruption Isn't Destruction


Disruption in the marketplace doesn’t have to be destructive.

That’s the word from Jean-Marie Dru, the French advertising man who merged the agency he started, BDDP, with TBWA. Jean-Marie, who actually trademarked the term “disruption methodology” back in 1991 and has written several books on the topic, contends that disruption and destruction are not an either-or scenario.

“They’re very different,” Jean-Marie told me in a video interview prior to his induction into the Advertising Hall of Fame. “People believe that you have a choice between incremental, a new line or extension, something like that, or something so disruptive that it will destroy your market. That’s wrong. In the middle you have thousands of possibilities of disruptive strategy that don’t destroy market share.”
