Kellogg Hires Nature's Bounty CEO as Chief in Turnaround Bid


Kellogg Co. tapped Nature’s Bounty Chief Executive Officer Steven Cahillane to run the breakfast-cereal giant, turning to an outsider to help reinvigorate moribund sales.

Cahillane, 52, will take the helm on Oct. 2, when current CEO John Bryant steps down after seven years, the maker of Rice Krispies and Eggo waffles said on Thursday. The new chief also will take the chairman role from the 51-year-old Bryant, but not until March 15.

Cahillane — once considered a potential successor to Coca-Cola Co. chief Muhtar Kent — will have to contend with a slowdown in the packaged-food industry and a particularly pernicious slump for cereal. Sales in the $9 billion U.S. cold cereal market have declined for four straight years, according to data tracker IRI, forcing Kellogg to look to new areas like salty snacks for growth.

'Please Don't Shoot': Peace Group Creates Underwear to Save Lives


Saturday Morning, a coalition for peace and change around racial inequality formed last year by several African-American creative leaders, has developed a line of underwear intended to save lives.

The “Peace Briefs” are designed to reduce violence and tension between police officers and minorities and have these phrases printed on the waistbands: I am Not Armed, Please Don’t Shoot, I Have a Family, My Life Matters, I am a Father and We Don’t Hate.

Why messages on normally unseen underwear? Keith Cartwright, executive creative director of Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners, and a member of Saturday Morning, says it is because when police tell you to raise your arms in the air, your shirt rides up and the waistband of your briefs show. He says that the goal is to reduce tension in situations when a person is the being harassed or accosted based on what they look like and told to surrender or lie on the ground.

Huge Is Hiring in Chicago After Winning McDonald’s Global UX Design Account

Happy RIP Hugh Hefner Day to all our friends in Chicago. In case you missed it, Huge is in the fast food business!

At some point in recent weeks, the IPG network won McDonald’s latest agency review, picking up global digital user experience work. The best part about this story for “traditional” agency folks lamenting the viability of their professions (or the lack thereof) is that this is the second time in less than two months that Accenture Interactive has lost a McDonald’s pitch.

According to our sources, Huge beat out the mega-firm’s design division Fjord in the last leg of the review, almost exactly four weeks after Publicis.Sapient won a “digital innovation” (read: IT) review.

The IPG shop’s Windy City office will—for the time being, at least—share an address with FCB: 875 North Michigan Avenue.

We’re not quite sure where the job listings are, but we figure you Chicago agency folks can ask around. And who doesn’t want to “get paid for giving a shit” about burgers and fries and apple pies?

Watch: Barton F. Graf One-Ups R/GA and Publicis


In response to the various tech and A.I.-fueled talent connection platforms that are making headlines of latethere’s Publicis Groupe’s Marcel, JWT’s Pangaea and R/GA’s newly announced R/GA O.S.Barton F. Graf has debuted an operating system of its own… called S.H.O.U.T.

The video here explains how the platform efficiently brings together all 87 staffers across the agency’s entire network of one office. Clearly, it’s a step up from the shop’s previous O.S., Whisper.

While a funny dig at all the noise the industry has been making around A.I. and talent connectivity, it’s also a reminder of how strangely disconnected we’re becoming in an increasingly “connected” world.
