Paramount Pictures’ Logo Started as a Desktop Doodle, and Has Endured for 105 Years

Hollywood isn’t just an incubator of celebrity culture. It’s also home to some of the most durable brand logos in American capitalism.

At Noah’s Ark, every staff has his or her own animal avatar. This valentine, we decided to do face painting of these avatars on our staff faces and asked a prey avatar to take a couple picture with its predator. It’s our way of saying love is possible among everyone, if we give it a chance.

Macy's invests in new beauty tech


Macy’s is doubling down on the beauty business this year. On a recent earnings call with analysts, the retailer’s executives noted that the brand will be investing more in the category this year.

The retailer is using its learnings from customer behavior online and using that to inform new fixtures and applications in brick-and-mortar. For example, Macy’s found that customers liked to shop online for fragrances by scent, but inside stores, the category is arranged by perfume brand. Macy’s recently entered a new partnership with Perch Interactive that will include fragrance finders in stores so consumers can browse by scent in person, as they do online. The company is doing something similar with skincare.

In addition, Macy’s is exploring new technology like augmented reality to give consumers even more choices. Now, shoppers can try on endless shades of lipstick through the retailer’s beauty app.

Popular Rang-Tan Character From Palm Oil Deforestation Ad Will Star in a Children’s Book

The idea of an advertising character becoming the focus of a children’s book might normally feel a bit icky, but here’s a worthwhile exception. The orangutan character from London agency Mother’s “Rang-tan” ad–originally made for Greenpeace and later repurposed as grocer Iceland Foods’ Christmas spot–will soon be the star of a children’s book called “There’s…

The MTA Is Saying Goodbye to Some Subway Newsstands, Hello to Vending Machines

In what it says is a response to a “changing market,” the New York City Subway is repurposing vacant retail spaces, including newsstands, within its 472 stations as demand for print publications and unhealthy items like cigarettes and candy declines.

IAD: Avoid The Worst With IAD


Film
IAD

Created in 2008, IAD stands out for its new decompartmentalized model, becoming a real “game changer” on the French real estate market: revolutionizing the market by digitizing physical agencies in order to offer a more efficient and competitive service to end customers.

Agents are their own bosses, with their own objectives and constraints, and on their own time, allowing them to be ultra-available to their customers.

A profitable investment, as evidenced by the 95% satisfactory rating homesellers have with the services proposed by their IAD advisors (Source: immodvisor.com).

Since IAD was created in 2008, it has helped more than 180,000 individuals and families sell their homes or find the property of their dreams.

After a first campaign together last year aimed at expanding the network of advisors, IAD and its agency Rosapark are teaming up again to address property sellers, this time by focusing on timing and the importance of having an advisor who’s actively involved, essential at this stage.

Whether selling your property alone, as a couple or as a family, it’s a significant and emotional moment.

But things aren’t always so rosy… hence the importance of having the right advisor by your side, one that’s attentive and available.

For its first TV ad, IAD and Rosapark wanted to highlight the professionalism of the network’s advisors, using a humorous and offbeat tone, specific to IAD’s DNA.
