LAX Visitors Get Warm Welcome in Mistress’ Latest for Discover Los Angeles

L.A. agency Mistress launched a campaign for Discover Los Angeles back in February and last month the tourism group rolled out an “#EveryoneIsWelcome” effort in collaboration with Mistress’ production arm, Bastard.

Now, agency has unveiled a new spot which celebrates the city’s diversity and inclusivity, documenting Discover Los Angeles’ May 6 “#EveryoneIsWelcome” event which saw the group welcoming visitors to LAX. Volunteers welcomed LAX visitors from around the world with signs spelling out “Welcome” in four different languages: Spanish, Chinese, English and Arabic. In Mistress’ spot documenting the event we meet some of the diversw participants who attended the event, adding meaning and context to the welcoming celebration.

It’s all part of an effort to combat declining tourism amidst perceptions of rising xenophobia and isolationism in America. The message is clear: despite what other groups in the country may think, Los Angeles and its residents are proud to be a melting pot of different cultures and extend a warm invitation to all who want to visit the city.

LAX is a fitting place to deliver the message, as the arrival point for visitors from around the world to the distinctly international city and given the airport’s role as a sight where protestors gathered in opposition to the president’s travel ban, before it was rejected by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

BBDO New York Head of Retail Jim Reath Moves to Macy’s as SVP of Marketing

Jim Reath, a marketing veteran who most recently worked as EVP and head of retail at BBDO New York, left the agency world last month to accept a job as SVP of marketing at retail giant Macy’s. He led the Lowe’s account at the Omnicom network.

Reath has spent nearly two decades on the accounts side of the agency world, serving as SVP at Leo Burnett and CMO at Y&R in Chicago before heading south for a stint at McKinney, where he also became a partner.

He joins Macy’s at a challenging time for the retail giant. Like most of its industry, it has struggled to reach revenue goals while closing stores and shifting its focus to exclusive, “margin-rich” product lines. At least one former retail executive recently suggested that more closings are needed.

Lowe’s has also been through quite a few internal changes of its own lately. The chain unexpectedly promoted SVP of merchandising Jocelyn Wong to CMO in the middle of the review, which ended in February with the $370 million account going to Publicis after a decade with Omnicom. BBDO and OMD initially won the business in a joint 2005 review.

These moves, however, do not seem to have affected its relationship with BBDO. Last month, a company spokesperson wrote, “Our focus is working with BBDO and Starcom to help ensure a smooth transition of our media from OMD. We are pleased with the progress so far.”

Today an agency spokesperson confirmed Reath’s departure, stating that BBDO has no plans to hire a replacement but will instead promote from within. It is not clear at this time who will get the nod.

Macy’s representatives have not yet responded to queries regarding the new hire.

Why You Should (Kind of) Care About the NewFronts


What’s the point of the Digital Content NewFronts?

Although they were inspired by TV’s annual upfronts bazaar for ad time in the new season, and some buyers stake out some inventory after they see presentations by digital video publishers, the NewFronts haven’t become an upfronts-style marketplace.

The dog-and-pony nature of the upfronts make sense for traditional broadcasters because TV has one thing digital does not: scarcity. The upfronts are essentially a futures market where buyers purchase ad time in advance. Missing out on the negotiations could mean paying much more for airtime later.

ABC Upfront: 'Scandal' Ending Confirmed, 'Idol' Future Still Unclear


Like NBC and Fox before it, ABC won’t have too much newness on its schedule in the fall. The Alphabet network will air four new dramas and one new comedy in the first half of the year, keeping at least several of its nights relatively consistent from last season.

The biggest changes will come to Friday and Sunday nights. A home to comedy over the last few seasons, Fridays will instead focus on fantasy and sci-fi programming, said Channing Dungey, president, ABC Entertainment. To this end, “Once Upon a Time” will move to Friday nights from Sundays and is joined by “Marvel’s Inhumans.” “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” will air for 22 episodes after “Inhumans” finishes its fall run.

These shows will take the place of “Last Man Standing,” which was unceremoniously canceled to the chagrin of many who have complained that the decision was made because of Tim Allen’s conservative political leanings.

Another Marketing Exec Leaves Coke Amid Corporate Overhaul


Ivan Pollard, who oversees Coca Cola’s media operations in North America, is leaving the company as the beverage giant continues to reshape its marketing leadership structure under new CEO James Quincey. Mr. Pollard, senior VP-strategic marketing, will depart immediately, ending a six-year stint at the company.

Stuart Kronauge, who last week was promoted to take on a dual role of business unit president of USA operations and senior VP-marketing, shared the news in an internal memo. “We’re grateful to Ivan for his significant contributions to our global and North America marketing organizations in his six-year career with the company. Under Ivan’s guidance, the global and North America connections teams developed industry-leading best practices in how we engage our consumers and customers,” she stated.

Mr. Pollard did not immediately return messages for comment.
