Clube de Criação: Re-reborn

Integrated
Clube de Criação

Technology and creativity evolve at a dizzying pace. So how to promote the Brazilian Creative Club Festival – the biggest event in Brazilian advertising, done by Brazilian Creative Club, a non-profit organization – in a way that is truly new? With an idea that changes like the world: every second. Using an exclusive algorithm, we created a campaign that was mutable in all its aspects: logo, tagline, colors and typography. A campaign that never repeated itself. The result was 9 different posters: each version of them could be seen only once. As they were living and mutating, the posters were digital-only: they were never printed or shown in a static way to the audience. Each one had its individual link, so the algorithm could work in real time. And we also replaced traditional media by an innovative one. The mutating posters were turned into guerrilla projections in dozens of different sizes on places that are often visited by our target audience: agency professionals, producers, students, and artists.

Cambridge Analytica knew how you'd vote if you wore Wrangler


The whistle-blower behind the Cambridge Analytica revelations said the now-defunct data-fresearch firm used the fashion preferences of Facebook users to help develop the algorithms needed to target them with political messaging.

Sharing examples of the anonymized data for the first time, originally collected and used by Cambridge Analytica, Christopher Wylie said people who displayed an interest in Abercrombie & Fitch tended on average to be less cautious and more liberal, and individuals who liked Wrangler were usually more conservative and more keen on “orderliness.”

In another set of data, Wylie said it showed that individuals seen to be engaged with Vogue magazine and Macy’s were on average more liberal and extroverted, which helped Cambridge Analytica focus its micro-targeting of political messaging.

WPP's addiction to cost reduction needs to change


Does anyone seriously believe that the WPP-led mergers of VML with Y&R (creating the eyesore VMLY&R) and of Wunderman with J. Walter Thompson (now Wunderman Thompson) are strategic moves that will restore WPP’s growth, profitability and share price performance? These mergers are mostly a continuation of the agency cost-reduction activities practiced by WPP since 1986, when it bought the underperforming J. Walter Thompson.

Mark Read inherited a difficult situation after the departure of Martin Sorrell. WPP’s growth and profitability had already sagged in 2017 and 2018, causing a serious decline in its share price. It’s understandable that Read needed some “quick hits” to fix his profit problem. Agency mergers to cut overhead and senior management costs must have seemed obvious, and they could be disguised to look “strategic.”

However, these mergers / cost reductions focus on the wrong problem. What’s really killing agencies and holding companies is the declining level of agency fees and billing rates, and the uncontrolled growth of agency workloads. These are “price problems” rather than “cost problems,” and they are not currently being addressed by agency CEOs.

Chivas Regal: Complainers vs. Entrepreneurs

Join people of action

Social entrepreneurship is so unfamiliar in Bulgaria that even many entrepreneurs do not realize that they are in fact social entrepreneurs because their businesses not only initiate change, but also solve real social problems.

That doesn’t mean those social problems don’t exist in Bulgaria. On the contrary, a big part of Bulgarian people see and complain about them constantly.

Unfortunately all they do is complain and never actually do anything.

So how do we raise awareness about Chivas Venture – a social entrepreneurship competition, in Bulgaria – the Land of Complaints? Since whining is so wide spread it has turned into a constant annoying soundtrack of Bulgarian life. So we put it in a song and set it against Chivas Venture finalists and their projects, which are already creating change in Bulgaria.

Bottom line, yes, it is easier to complain, but big things only happen when people act. And what a better first step towards Change than singing about it.
