The Washington Post Gets its Own Reddit Page


The newsroom finally has a place on Reddit.

Reporters and publications have long lurked around the internet’s so-called front page, looking for unerreported stories and a place to put links to their own. Because one of Reddit’s top rules is no self-promotion, they’ve mostly been considered spammers. But now a select few media partners have been given a pass.

The Washington Post is one of the first publishers to get a new profile page on Reddit, where it can freely post its own stories, ask me anything Q&As, and all the dank memes it wants. Advance Local’s Alabama site AL.com has a Reddit profile too, with a page for sibling NOLA.com in the works.

IR magazine will never have as huge advertising space as political parties do. But we want as many voters as possible to know the information politicians are never going to put on their posters – their true deeds, unfulfilled promises, unadvertised connections. So together with the Latvian startup, Overly we created an augmented reality app that enables anyone to hack political ads and see the whole picture.

McDonald’s U.K. and Leo Burnett Don’t Understand South Carolina at All

Full first-person disclosure: I am from South Carolina. The people who made the latest McDonald’s U.K. campaign are not.

Leo Burnett launched the new work earlier this month, and it just attracted the attention of some Palmetto State media outlets, which are very curious about the U.K.’s vision of the way we do things down South.

So, Dollywood is in Tennessee. And cowboy hats are a Texas thing. You know who was from South Carolina, though? James Fucking Brown.

One reader of our former hometown Charleston City Paper notes:

I remember seeing signs for the various states of “American burgers” at Maccies a few years ago. Each and every one looked so hilariously off-base, I wondered it if it weren’t on purpose. I haven’t laughed so much at a sandwich since I was taught to pronounce bologna.

Bless your dang heart, we reckon it might just be on purpose too. The tangy BBQ sauce is right, but where is the cole slaw?

On that note, the Tennessee version looks a bit more like the Florida panhandle. Or Myrtle Beach Bike Week, if we’re still talking Cackalacky. Kenny Powers!

And New York is a baseball town … Which is kind of true since both of our football teams play in Jersey.

We expected these spots to be a little more extreme, honestly. Where are the Civil War re-enactments and the women selling sweetgrass baskets by the side of Highway 17?

Team One Welcomes Kyle Acquistapace as Executive Director of Idea Communications

Publicis agency Team One hired Kyle Acquistapace as executive director of idea communications.

In the role Acquistapace will serve as part of Team One’s executive leadership team, tasked overseeing the agency’s PR, media and experiential marketing departments.

“With Team One opening its sixth U.S. location earlier this month in Dallas, and total employee count exceeding 500 employees, our current trajectory is a good one,” Team One president Julie Michael said in a statement. “Bringing Kyle onto our executive leadership team ensures we are applying top industry talent against all of our clients’ businesses. Kyle’s an accomplished leader and someone who will continue to help us expertly guide clients through the modern media landscape.”

She added that the agency “…needed the right person to keep propelling our integrated vision forward. As the agency moves more deeply into immersive realities, 360 video, artificial intelligence and smart-home technologies, it will require that we have the right mix of progressive leaders at the top.”

Acquistapace most recently served as president, managing partner for Supermoon, a Santa Monica-full service agency whose clients include The Honest Co., Ancestry, GoFundMe and Bolthouse Farms. Before arriving at Supermoon last June he spent over 16 years with Deutsch L.A., most recently serving as partner, director of media and data strategy. He has also taught as an adjunct professor at the University of South Carolina.

“I love that the agency stands for something: luxury brands and their unique consumers,”Acquistapace said of joining Team One. “Joining an agency with that kind of focus and expertise is fantastic.”

A Snack Brand Put Notorious Criminals in Its Videos in Spectacular Twitter Fail

British potato-chip maker Walkers Crisps crashed and burned on Twitter in stunning fashion Thursday, as the brand asked for selfies from followers and made videos out of them–not realizing that a number of the photos were of serial killers and other notorious British criminals. Ignoring all best practices, it appears the #WalkersWave campaign was largely…
