Publicis Groupe CEO Tries to Calm Alarm Over His Cannes Ban


Two days after stunning the ad industry by pledging that Publicis Groupe will sit out next year’s Cannes International Festival of Creativity, President-CEO Arthur Sadoun spent Thursday trying to ease fears inside his holding company that the move would backfire.

In a closed-door meeting at the luxurious Majestic hotel, Sadoun assembled 200 of his top creative leaders and singled out what he described as a symbol of the agency world’s woes: The Snapchat-branded ferris wheel that towers near the entrance of the nearby Palais.

“This is making me even angrier,” he said as he showed a picture of the wheel to his troops, he recalled in an interview with Ad Age after the meeting. To him the carnival-like wheel — and the fact that it rests on valuable festival real estate — “symbolizes the fact that our companies, the holding companies, have lost their thought leadership in Cannes.”

Watch the Newest Ads on TV From PlayStation, E-Trade, Beautyrest and More


Every weekday, we bring you the Ad Age/iSpot Hot Spots, new and trending TV commercials tracked by iSpot.tv, the real-time TV ad measurement company with attention and conversion analytics from 10 million smart TVs. The New Releases here ran on TV for the first time yesterday. The Most Engaging ads are ranked by digital activity (including online views and social shares) over the past week.

Among the new releases, PlayStation presents a claymation world where traditional cable TV services are two-headed “cable monsters” terrorizing a city with long-term contracts, pricey sports packages and “atomic fire breath” until PlayStation Vue (a modern, shiny superhero) arrives to save the day with its live TV streaming service. E-Trade offers one reason why your broker is unavailable — he’s in a board meeting … a wakeboard meeting — and suggests investing online instead. And in a black-and-white spot that moves from moody to comic, Beautyrest shows you don’t need to be an athlete — forget running, swimming, “moving a bunch of heavy stuff” and “doing whatever this is” (a battle ropes workout) — to achieve a healthy lifestyle, as “sleep performance is the new performance.”

Digital Celebrities Rely on New Trade Group to Set Ad Disclosure Rules


Andrew Fitzpatrick, online-famous for his humorous beat-boxing videos under the pseudonym 80Fitz, makes money from work for brands as an influencer, incorporating their products into his videos. The problem? There aren’t clear rules for how to say he’s been paid.

“I’ve done 25 to 30 campaigns for Fortune 500 companies and I think over the years the disclosure practices have literally never been consistent,” he said. “Sometimes they want a hashtag, sometimes they don’t require any disclosure at all.” The hashtags vary, too, from the clear #ad label to the more vague #partner.

The Federal Trade Commission requires these sponsored influencer posts on social media such as Instagram and Twitter to disclose that they’re ads. The agency sent several dozen warning letters to brands and online celebrities earlier this year to remind them to do so. Still, the practice isn’t consistent. Now Fitzpatrick is pinning his hopes on a new trade group to clear things up.
