Samsung draws attention to its Galaxy Note8 handset by asking artists and designers to use the phone’s trademark S Pen stylus–made famous in this well-received recent commercial–to embellish photos submitted by consumers. Dubbed “NoteIt,” the campaign, which began on Sunday and runs through tomorrow, is designed to illustrate the Note8’s ability to help users expand…
It’s not often that the words “gay pornography” appear in The New York Times, let alone on its front page. (A quick nytimes.com search reveals that the phrase last appeared on Oct. 23, 2016today’s the one-year anniversary!in a “What’s on TV” story that briefly mentioned “a low-budget, all-male variation of sorts on ‘Boogie Nights'” starring Christian Slater and James Franco.) Anyway, per Steel and Schmidt,
In response to questions about why he sent sexually explicit material to Ms. Wiehl, Mr. O’Reilly said that during his time at the network, he had been sent threatening messages almost every day, including some that had obscene material. To deal with this problem, Mr. O’Reilly said, he set up a system in which the material would be forwarded to his lawyers so they could evaluate whether he needed to take any legal action. Mr. O’Reilly said Ms. Wiehl was among those lawyers.
Um, OK. Now back up to Fox News. What does this mean for the network?
As we noted yesterday, one of the most puzzlng aspects of the latest New York Times investigation of former Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly is that, earlier this year, shortly after O’Reilly paid out $32 million to settle a sexual harassment case (on top of other earlier setttlement payments over the years, as previously documented by the Times), Fox News parent 21st Century Fox rewarded O’Reilly with a new (ultimately ill-fated) $100 million contract extension$25 million per year (up from $18 million per year) for four more years.
On last night’s “Late Show,” Stephen Colbertwho famously modeled his old Comedy Central “Stephen Colbert” conservative blowhard character largely on O’Reillypresented a theory about that in a brief segment the show has now posted on YouTube with the title “Fox News, Where Sexual Harassment Gets You A Contract Extension.” In in, Colbert says, “It’s shocking that Fox News knew about all these sexual harassment settlements and kept him employed for so long, but maybe they were just trying to protect their female employees. Because if Bill’s on camera, that’s one hour a day they knew he’s not groping somebody.”
Colbert also parses O’Reilly’s justification for why, according to the Times report, he sent sexually explicit material, including gay pornography, to his victim. It involves some Colbert angry-letter-writing pantomine that is bettter watched than described.
If there was one thing Interpublic Group of Cos. CEO Michael Roth made clear during the company’s third quarter earnings report today, it’s that consultants are not cutting into its business.
“Despite a great deal of press coverage announcing that consultants are making inroads into our business, we do not see them in any material way in new business, and when we do, we have been faring quite well on those opportunities,” said Roth, adding that Huge recently beat out a range of agency and consultant competitors in the McDonald’s U.S. digital pitch.
Instead, he attributed IPG’s flat organic revenue growth for the third quarter that fell below analyst expectations to a decrease in project-based work and consumer packaged goods spending.
M&C Saatchi global creative director Justin Tindall caused a storm last week when, in a weekly critique of advertising, he professed himself “bored with diversity being prioritized over talent.”
Following an outpouring of scorn and horror, the next day the same publication gave space to Cheil U.K. creative director Caitlin Ryan to answer Tindall. Ryan delivered an intelligent rebuke from the point of view of a young male creative forced to suffer the “horrors” of a female dominated ad agency industry with stuff like “make-up desks” and “group periods” as standard.
M&C Saatchi, bulwark of the U.K. ad agency industry with Establishment leaders like Lord Maurice and Charles Saatchi, were undoubtedly horrified at the PR debacle. Tindall got to write an apology, also taking the opportunity to style himself asguess what?a pro-diversity leader and cast-iron credentials. He further volunteered that making Adland diverse was not a matter for a quick-fix but for long-term strategizing. (That sound you can hear is diverse candidates pushing a career in advertising further down their consideration list.)
Kumar Galhotra, president of Ford’s Lincoln brand, will add the title of Ford Motor chief marketing officer as part of a management shuffle overseen by new CEO Jim Hackett.
Stephen Odell, 62, Ford’s executive vice president of global marketing, sales and service, will retire after 37 years at Ford. Galhotra, 51, in taking over Odell’s marketing responsibilities, will be charged with “shifting investments towards product categories that play to Ford’s strengths, and developing more effective brand communications including digital services, emobility and autonomy,” the company stated.
The heads of quality, human resources and strategy are also departing by the end of the year. The moves come as North American vehicle sales slow and as Ford transitions to offering new mobility services. Ford has made strides in the quality department, finishing as the No. 2 nonpremium brand in J.D. Power’s 2017 Initial Quality Study, although the automaker has been plagued recently by recalls for door-latch issues that have cost hundreds of millions of dollars to repair.
TV’s top-rated scripted series staggered back onto the tube last Sunday night, and while the ratings marked a five-year low for a season premiere, AMC’s “The Walking Dead” is still putting up numbers that are the envy of the broadcast networks.
According to Nielsen live-plus-same day data, the season eight opener averaged 11.4 million viewers and a 5.0 in the demo, which works out to 6.49 million adults 18 to 49. Time-shifting in the handful of hours after the official 9 p.m. EDT airing (Nielsen’s cutoff for live-same day is 3 a.m.) accounted for nearly half (45 percent) of those demo deliveries, as some 2.89 million adults 18 to 49 caught up on the action via their DVRs.
If the ratings were low by “Walking Dead” standardslast season’s skull-crushing, cliffhanger-resolving opener scared up 17.4 million viewers and a 8.4 in the demo, or 10.7 million adults under 50the show remains a monster hit for AMC. The 67-minute episode eclipsed every other scripted option on the tube Sunday night. For the sake of context, the No. 2 non-NFL show, Fox’s “The Simpsons,” averaged a 1.6 in live-same-day, or less than one-third of the demo that tuned in to the zombie apocalypse serial.
Top executives from Hulu and Fox Networks Group are departing for new roles.
Hulu CEO Mike Hopkins, who took the reins at Hulu in 2013, is leaving to become chairman of Sony Pictures Television, where he will oversee all TV production, distribution and marketing operations globally. He fills the role left vacant when Steve Mosko left last year. Hopkins will start in late November and report to Tony Vinciquerra, chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment.
At Hulu, Hopkins will be succeeded by Randy Freer, who has been president and chief operating officer at Fox Networks Group since 2013. Fox did not immediately name a successor to Freer.

International Organization for Migration
Since 1991 more than 230,000 Ukrainians have been affected by human trafficking. Mostly these people are the one who have been promised the moon at work both abroad and in Ukraine (high salaries, accommodation, three meals a day, etc.).
In order to show that things are not always what they seem at first sight, the creative agency ANGRY and the International Organization for Migration in Ukraine have released an allegorical video with the participation of the Ambassador of Goodwill of the UN agency on migration, Eurovision winner in 2016, famous Ukrainian singer, Jamala.
At first glance, sometimes what looks like the best working conditions turns out to be the worst working conditions. At first glance, sometimes what looks like a beautiful dance turns out to be a display of aggression.
Dance as an allegory of good and beautiful, dancers as an allegory of human trafficking victims and invisible evil spirits-dementors as an allegory of danger.
TV spot and outdoor campaign is released on EU Anti-Trafficking Day on October 18, 2018.
