Tech Fix: Google’s File on Me Was Huge. Here’s Why It Wasn’t as Creepy as My Facebook Data.

Every weekday we bring you the Ad Age/iSpot Hot Spots, new TV commercials tracked by iSpot.tv, the real-time TV ad measurement company with attention and conversion analytics from more than eight million smart TVs. The ads here ran on national TV for the first time yesterday.

Speight's: The Dance

Beer ads have a long history of showing guys enjoying a brew, often at the expense of everything else. Spouses, commitments and those less worthy have often been fodder for blokey heroes who earn their beer through some feat of strength, cunning, comedy or a combination of the three.

The decision to get away from those well-worn tropes provided an opportunity for Speight’s, which has launched a new brand campaign headlined by an unexpectedly heartwarming spot titled ‘The Dance’ created by DDB New Zealand.

A two-minute epic follows the story of two workmates who seem to be teaching each other to dance. We meet their wider group of mates, who stay after work to offer unsought critique. Mastering dancing quickly becomes their group project, and they approach it with the same laconic attitude you’d expect at Thursday night training for the 3rd-division social footy team.

Gist Chile Foundation: Preventive Poo

In Chile, 80% of Gastric Cancer cases are diagnosed too late. Along with Emoji, we created new versions of this Poo, that represents eye-detectable gastric cancer, so that when people were in the bathroom, they could perform a self-exam comparing their “poo” with this Poo, and send a photo through private message to get immediate help from a doctor.

Just in case the FBI wants to rebrand its 'Crossfire Hurricane' investigation, 7 suggestions


You’ve really gotta feel for Mick Jagger & Co. They just can’t seem to avoid getting dragged into Trump drama.

In 2016 and 2017, Team Trump kept on appropriating Rolling Stones music (see “What Trump’s Refusal to Stop Using Rolling Stones Songs Says About Him”). And today, via a New York Times scoop headlined “Code Name Crossfire Hurricane: The Secret Origins of the Trump Investigation,” we learned that the FBI chose a Rolling Stones lyric to internally brand its Trump-Russia investigation. Here it is in context in “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”:

Amazon brings its cross-border ambitions to Alibaba's backyard


Amazon.com Inc. is bringing its competition with Alibaba right to the Chinese e-commerce giant’s backyard.

In the coming weeks, Amazon will host an event in the city of Hangzhou — Alibaba’s hometown — to connect online merchants with 400 Chinese manufacturers keen to sell electronics, car parts, home goods and more directly to American and European consumers. Amazon experts will provide insights into buying trends so merchants can stock up for the 2018 holiday season, according to an invitation reviewed by Bloomberg. Sponsored by Amazon Global Selling, the event is called “Coming Together For U.”

The gathering is part of Amazon’s effort to evolve from an e-commerce platform into a global logistics operation. The idea is to help Amazon merchants connect directly with manufacturers in China, a region largely out of the company’s reach. Amazon would collect fees for helping merchants source goods directly from factories and ship them to other countries so they can be delivered quickly once orders roll in. Speedy delivery helped Amazon dominate e-commerce in the U.S., and the company wants to do the same globally to fend off Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., EBay Inc. and Wish Corp.

P&G consolidates hair-care media with Carat


Procter & Gamble Co. has consolidated most media duties for its North American hair-care business with Dentsu Aegis Network’s Carat after a review that also involved Omnciom’s Hearts & Science, incumbent on most of the business.

The move shifts a significant piece of P&G’s business from the Omnicom shop, created in 2016 in part to service P&G. But H&S remains on the broader P&G North American media roster alongside Carat. Both won their places in an extensive 2015 pitch process for the biggest U.S. ad spender.

The move doesn’t include Old Spice hair-care products, which continue to be handled by Wieden & Kennedy as part of a longstanding consolidated creative and media account, says P&G spokeswoman Tressie Rose.
