Audio Pro: Audio Pro – Honor the Sound

For Audio Pro’s 40 year in the business they wanted to do a film to celebrates that. So director Mats Udd and production company Slutet är Nära came up with a film that wouldn’t show any product, or new features. Just a pure and simple film about sounds. Small and large sounds. Sounds that make you laugh, or cry, sounds that you may have forgotten, or sounds that were a big part of your childhood. Sounds that make you come back to special events or make you remember friends from the past.

Speaker Brands usually pay homage to new technology and new products, but the more rarely they praise the sound itself. We wanted to change that. So before the 40th anniversary we wanted to make a film without a product that is only interested in one thing: The sound. A film that honoring the sounds.

If you’ve got a few million dollars laying around, it’s not too late to buy airtime for a Super Bowl ad. CBS says it already sold about 90 percent of the in-game inventory, as Anthony Crupi writes. But it’s still got some slots left for the Feb. 3 game, mostly in the fourth quarter. So how much will this cost you, exactly? Buyers say “CBS is taking in between $5.1 million and $5.3 million per 30 seconds of commercial time in Super Bowl LIII,” Crupi writes.

Nutritional labeling hits Bud Light's Dilly-Dilly kingdom


It’s safe to say that carbohydrates, sugars, protein and polyunsaturated fat contents were not a big topic of conversation in the Middle Ages. But that is not stopping from Bud Light from inserting a discussion about nutrition facts labeling into its medieval-themed “Dilly Dilly” campaign.

The new ads come as the nation’s largest beer brand adds a comprehensive list of ingredient labels to its packaging. One of the spots shows the campaign’s king character rehearsing a speech about putting the labels on every case of Bud Light.

Beer brands have historically been exempt from the kind of strict ingredient labeling requirements mandated for packaged food. Amid pressure from some health advocates, big brewers began listing calories, carbohydrates, protein, fat and alcohol-by-volume on their beers beginning in 2016 as part of a voluntary agreement led by the Beer Institute trade organization.

5G promises to connect everything, but is that a good thing?


As head of market research for the CTA the trade body that owns and produces the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas each year Steve Koenig has a gimlet eye when it comes to the fifth generation of mobile tech, or 5G.

For starters, he isn’t selling the idea that it’s coming out tomorrow, let alone in 2020.

“When it comes to 5G, it’s not like flipping a switch,” Koenig says. “At CES, we are seeing 5G take its first steps; we’re just learning to walk here with 5G. And based on our own projections at the CTA, it won’t be until 2022 until the majority of smartphones in the U.S. will be 5G enabled.”

5G may enable smart cities, and advertising is going to pay for it


When it comes to the fifth generation of mobile technology, the sales pitch is relatively simple: everything will be faster and everything will be connected.

Time will tell whether that will indeed be true. Still, one area companies are placing their bets is with so-called smart cities, and they’re selling the idea that they’ll alleviate traffic congestion, reduce pollution, improve public safety and city infrastructure. At CES in Las Vegas this week. AT&T said it will create connect street lights to its network so it can track energy usage and outages.

But it also presents an opportunity for better targeted ads. Some $34 billion will be spent on smart cities by 2020, of which a portion will be offset through companies offering to build out bus shelters, lamp posts that monitor foot traffic or interactive digital screens in exchange for ad space, according to the Consumer Technology Assocation.

AT&T's 5G stunt is decried as 'misleading & a marketing ploy'


On the eve of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, AT&T updated its phones to replace the LTE symbol commonly found atop of its consumer’s mobile screens with “5Ge,” a misleading suggestion that its phones are ready for the fifth generation of mobile tech.

AT&T Communications CEO John Donovan conceded the phones aren’t capable of 5G speeds at CES, saying the move was made to “ready” consumers about the forthcoming switch to the fifth generation of mobile tech, something most experts believe won’t be deployed at scale for at least another two years.

“AT&T is apparently now saying that it has 5Ge network, but I think it is a misleading and a marketing ploy to get out in front of the competition,” says Victoria Petrock, an analyst at eMarketer. “We have no 5G phones yet; we have seen prototypes on the showroom floor, but if there is no 5G phone, I don’t understand how AT&T can be running a 5G network.”

Instagram's digital ad share to double despite Facebook issues

Instagram is poised to reign as the darling of Facebook Inc. apps, offering a life boat for the core platform during a bout of privacy concerns.

Cowen says the photo-sharing app’s share of digital video budgets from ad buyers will double from 2018 to 2020. In fact, Instagram has grown as the go-to choice for launching new brand campaigns looking to reach ages thirteen to thirty-four, according to 61 percent of survey respondents to a Cowen study representing about $14 billion in ad spend.

“Stories” — a relatively new Instagram feature — are helping to grow the app into a campaign favorite. Instagram Stories appear “poised for greater adoption” as more ad buyers allocated some portion of their spend to the feature in 2018 than the year prior, said Cowen’s John Blackledge in a note. Instagram even beat out TV in this younger target group, a medium only 3 percent of respondents said was a primary platform.
