Marketers Need to Focus More Holiday Ad Spend on the Ample Opportunities Available in December

Here’s a holiday present for retailers: a new playbook. In a dynamic ecommerce environment, using last year’s digital ad strategy is a non-starter. Consumer shopping habits change too frequently to make that a viable proposition. This year’s U.S. holiday ecommerce sales are expected to grow over 16 percent, and there are now new ways of…

Nike sales soar, and Coca-Cola invests in a trendy startup: Friday Wake-Up Call

What people are talking about today

Nike’s Colin Kaepernick ad had fans and detractors, but hard numbers on quarterly sales bolster the case that Nike’s move was smart for business. In the quarter that ended Nov. 30, Nike Inc.’s revenue jumped 10 percent over the year-earlier period to hit $9.4 billion. Looking at the Nike brand alone (excluding holdings such as Converse), revenue rose 14 percent to $8.9 billion, as Ad Age’s Adrianne Pasquarelli writes. The “Just Do It” ad — featuring the former NFL quarterback who led the anthem protests against racial inequality — debuted just as the quarter started up. Andy Campion, exec VP and chief financial officer, told analysts that Nike “reignited brand heat in North America” with the campaign. Also worth noting: Sales soared 26 percent in China, despite the U.S.-China trade war.

Matthew McConaughey's newest weird Lincoln spot uses a cue ball as a prop


Who stares at a pool table and thinks about SUV cruise control technology? Matthew McConaughey, that’s who.

The actor, who has been staring in ridiculously introspectiveand flat-out weirdLincoln ads for more than four years, is at it again. This time he uses a rolling cue ball as a muse. Propelled by a trick shot, the white ball curves around the eight ball, prompting McConaughey to flash back to a Lincoln Nautilus evading an obstacle in the road before returning to its original path. Because, of course, he would think of that.

The spot, which promotes Lincoln’s “Co-Pilot360” driver-assistance technology, follows other random analogies made by Lincoln and McConaughey over the years. Once, he jumped backwards into a pool at night, which, according to the ad, is just like driving in a rainstorm.

Chicago Field Museum: Specimen Monologues

To help Chicago’s Field Museum engage with local residents, they made locals part of the museum, by adding their voice to the latest exhibition. After writing scripts for every specimen in the exhibition, we built a mobile recording booth and traveled throughout Chicago. At each stop, we asked people to get in the booth, read a script, and, bring an inanimate specimen to life. The best performances became the official voice of the specimens in the exhibition’s audio tour and all recordings became part of the museum’s permanent collection.
