Amazon Spends While Other Retailers Retreat


Amazon has been eating retail competitors’ lunch for a while. Now it’s after their breakfast, dinner and weekly groceries too with its planned $13.7 billion acquisition of Whole Foods. But the quest for dominance goes beyond food. The e-commerce giant, already the largest retail advertiser in the U.S., is cranking up its spending even more as it strives to harness all of consumerism and to lead in new categories such as grocery and fashion.

And that’s saying something. Amazon’s U.S. ad spending increase alone last year, $602 million, nearly equaled Sears Holdings’ entire U.S. ad budget.

The reason: Though doing very well, so far Amazon has captured “a lot of people interested in purchasing digitally the low-hanging fruit,” said Neil Saunders, managing director at GlobalData Retail. “But the next chunk of growth inevitably comes from the group that sits behind that. Those are the people that Amazon has got to persuade.”

The lost art of global marketing

The diversity debate may be at the top of the thought-leadership agenda, but does this simply serve to mask the fact that global creative has become an increasingly homogenised and commoditised industry, asks John Tylee.

Why Retail Flagship Stores Are Running Aground


Credit: Hyesu Lee

It’s no secret that retailers are spending less on advertising — the statistics point to plunges in print, TV and online. But what you won’t find on the charts is a form of retail advertising that’s not just declining but dying: the iconic flagship store.

Impressive, sprawling flagships in high-profile locations have long served as status symbols for retailers, more important for their brand-wide promotional value than the profits they may or may not have generated on the premises. A tourist’s visit to the Macy’s on 34th Street in Manhattan was something to go home and tell friends about.

Razor Marketers Are Facing the Hair-Raising Truth Behind Beards


Procter & Gamble is encountering some problems at its Gillette subsidiary because so many men are letting their whiskers blossom into beards.

P&G reported in the last quarter that its male grooming business was the only division to post lower organic sales. Part of the problem was the inroads made by Dollar Shave Club-type rivals, but at least in that arena, men are still shaving, although paying a lot less for their razors.

The way I see it, P&G can take action against the non-shaving trend on one of two fronts. Either Gillette can embrace the enemy of its razor blades and lean into the trend with beard-soothing products of its own, or it can draw a line in the metaphorical sand and ban beards in ads for all its products. (A third, less appetizing, alternative would be to mock beards by showing men picking cooties and other distractions like bird nests out of their hairy growth.)

Vodafone: Spark the light

It is neither the first, nor the last move by Vodafone Egypt to impact people’s lives and transform mindsets. “E3rafli” is one of the newest initiatives by the Sustainable Business unit in Vodafone Egypt. E3rafli is a mobile application that is meant to empower the visually impaired public with a set of necessary tools to be more independent. Additionally, what makes this initiative remarkably indubitable is that the owner himself is visually impaired; proving that the lack of sight is irrelevant in the minds of a true visionary. Although TMI. MEA had the pleasure to work on this project shy of just a couple of months ago, our strategy in TMI was to turn a communications piece into a beautiful story with the essential purpose of inspiring the visually impaired demographic in Egypt through a lovely sound experience, as well as inspiring the entire Egyptian community through demonstrating the use of the application in real life. The copywriting came very descriptive to visualize what we see on screen for the visually impaired people, coupled with brilliant musical tones to be able to touch the hearts of the audience. We meant to create a story that is more of a short film than a commercial, thus literally bringing the film industry to the advertising world!

Pantene / Downy: Forgiveness

Every Idul fitri season, Indonesians ask each other for forgiveness to turn life anew. But when it comes to seeking forgiveness from Mom, things usually get a bit more complicated. That’s where social media comes in: Pantene & Downy’s ambassadors asked “What would you ask forgiveness of from Mom this Idul Fitri?”

The 17 best social media posts were selected and the new lyrics of Kasih Ibu (A Mother’s Love), an Indonesia childhood favourite, was pieced together from the posts. The 17 winners underwent training as part of a choir, and in tandem with Pantene’s brand ambassador, Anggun and Downy’s ambassador, Andien, delivered a heartwarming tribute in song to their mothers.

WWF: Ballon animals, 1

Forest fire, illegal fishing, global warming and invasion of the habitat: those are all reasons of animal extinction and it just happened because of humans. To show that, we did a shooting of balloon animals that represent animals in danger because of those practices, showing how fragile they are to human greed.
