Opera on the Avalon

Based on the popular novel and movie, Dead Man Walking is an opera that tells the journey of a Louisiana nun who becomes the spiritual advisor to a convicted murderer on Angola’s death row.

To promote the opera, Ray hit the streets of St. John’s. Literally. With spray chalk, we created some ‘dead man walking’ outlines on buildings and streets.

Festival Mundial de Circo

Blink and you miss it.

The campaign’s idea is to translate not only the circus’ hypnotic potential, but also the climax of emotion, that one moment you can’t miss. Besides, the festival is only in town for a short period of time, so if you don’t pay attention, it’s gone.

Tuesday Odds and Ends

-Droga5’s influencer-driven debut campaign for Cover Girl is … how do we say this … PR disguised as advertising. Sorry guys, it’s true.

-Liberty Mutual issued an RFP for new creative work. Its relationship with Havas will not be affected.

-Brooklyn content agency Mustache launched a “creative web platform” called What’s That Noise, which kind of seems like a place to submit your best Vimeo links for zero dollars.

-Marijuana marketing is here. But most of it is about content, like this effort for LeafLine Labs by Minnesota agency Haberman.

-Speaking of medication, it wasn’t enough for AB InBev to buy up a bunch of craft beer brands, so now they’re investing in blogs that cover the industry. Sneaky!

-The Boston offices of MARC USA hired former Havas EVP, group account director Dave Buklarewicz as EVP, executive media director.

Eric Hunter, former VP of Huge and veteran of McCann and Ogilvy, joined Russell Research for the second time as its VP of corporate strategy.

-Editorial and post-production house Final Cut hired Jim Helton, best known for his work on movies like Blue Valentine, as a commercial editor.

-L.A. branded content studio HOUND signed director Kevin Bray, who has worked on classic music videos for J.Lo, Whitney Houston and Biz Markie.

Uber Hires Apple Music Marketer Bozoma Saint John


Uber has made another high-profile hire at a time when its brand could use the boost. Bozoma Saint John is joining Uber from Apple Music, where she had served as head of global consumer marketing for three years. At San Francisco-based Uber, she’ll be chief brand officer.

Saint John is not the first marketing exec the ride-hailing company has poached. Last fall, Jeff Jones, former chief marketing officer at Target, joined Uber as president of ride sharing. He left in March, however, amid company controversies that had CEO Travis Kalanick seeking “leadership help” and a chief operating officer. That was viewed as a de facto demotion for Jones.

The controversies also included allegations of sexual harassment at the company, sparking an investigation that resulted in the firing of more than 20 employees, Uber said Tuesday.

'Still In': Marketers Stand By Climate Pact After Trump Drops Out


Several leading U.S. marketers, along with government leaders representing millions of Americans, are standing by the Paris Agreement after President Donald Trump pulled the United States out of the climate pact.

Some executives have spoken out against the president’s decision to remove the United States from the agreement, which aims to push the world to combat climate change. Now, a coalition of businesses has signed onto “We Are Still In,” a movement in which numerous state and municipal government officials, colleges and universities, and companies say they will keep supporting actions to meet the Paris Agreement.

Many of those who joined already promoted their own sustainability plans, including targets such as using more renewable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The wide-ranging coalition announced Monday is the first major coordinated effort signaling disagreement with the president’s decision about leaving the Paris pact since Thursday’s announcement.
