Popradská: The Secret Of True Coffee Lover

We live in an era of social bubbles. We always feel the need to divide ourselves – into those, who use Android and those who use Apple devices. The ones who love Star Wars and ones who like Star Trek. We even divide ourselves according to what coffee we drink. That’s why Slovak coffee producer “Popradská” says enough of this division and instead of making an ad about the product we did a campaign about tolerance. We all have the right to drink coffee that we like. Because if you stop commenting on other people’s coffee, yours will also taste better.

Virgin Holidays: The World Is Your Playground

The new Virgin Holidays brand campaign ‘The World Is Your Playground’ encourages customers to view the world with a sense of wonder, playfulness and openness. The idea links key Virgin Holidays destinations to popular ‘play’ themes.

A hero TVC shows someone riding a vintage muscle car down the Big Sur as if it was a skateboard, while carousel horses glide along the beach in Barbados; and places the Las Vegas strip inside a pinball machine, with giant paper boats in the San Francisco bay.

The campaign is rooted in the belief that Virgin allows you to escape the everyday travel and category norm and feel amazing.

In addition to extensive television scheduling, the new campaign will also run across VOD, OOH, Press, Radio, Digital, Mobile, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Uber granted 15-month probationary license to operate in London


Uber has won an 15-month probationary license to operate in London after convincing a judge and regulators that the ride-sharing service had shaken off its gung-ho attitude of the past.

Judge Emma Arbuthnot criticized the company while granting the license Tuesday. The 15-month reprieve is far less than the five-year private hire permit the company had previously and shy of the 18-month approval it originally sought at the hearing. In September, Transport for London said Uber wasn’t “fit and proper” because of safety and governance concerns.

The ruling came after one-and-a-half days of arguments in which lawyers for Uber insisted the company had replaced executives in an overhaul of its culture, improved passenger safety policies, and reset its testy relationship with the regulator. For TfL’s part, it effectively disengaged from the dispute and said that the main concerns had been addressed.

The new challenge of China's emerging affluent class: juggling it all


With incomes rising and lifestyle choices expanding, the motivations of China’s emerging affluent classprimarily consumers in their 30s and 40sare evolving rapidly. Compared to 10 years ago, they are driven by the challenges of balancing multi-dimensional roles, rather than merely achieving basic professional success.

What does that mean? For one, China’s upper middle class invests in “experiences” to provide a broad worldview. From sharpening expertise in health and wellness to exploring different cultures and cultivating a broad range of personal hobbies, projecting a multi-faceted identity defines success. Wide horizons are a weapon on the battlefield of life.

There’s a tension there: “I want to do more and be more but I struggle to balance it all.” This anxiety is a modern-day manifestation of the ancient Confucian “doctrine of the mean”or zhong yongwhich espouses maintaining balance and harmony.
