DeAngelo, Havas Chicago Part Ways

Nearly a year to the day that Havas Chicago (well, Euro RSCG Chicago at the time) welcomed executive creative director Tyler DeAngelo to the fold, sources familiar with the matter confirm that the creative exec has parted ways with the agency. During his time with the agency, DeAngelo worked on accounts ranging from PlayStation to Jim Beam to Michelob Ultra.

From what we’ve been told, DeAngelo is moving back to NYC, where he spent five years as integrated CD at DeVito/Verdi and also served as an instructor at Miami Ad School’s Brooklyn branch. We’re hearing DeAngelo might not be the only ECD departure from Havas, but we’ll keep you posted if we find out more. Prior to Havas, DeAngelo served as partner/creative director at digital prodco Modern Publicity and had a two-year stint on the creative side at Grey NY. Lest we forget, he’s also the mastermind behind “Fifth Avenue Frogger” (see below).

Here’s Some Quick Clarification Regarding Havas and its Ties with Claire’s, Beam

Over the last 24 hours, we’ve had a few seemingly panicked tips coming in regarding the status of Havas Chicago’s relationship with clients including spirits giant Beam such as ones like this: “We have just been told we lost Jim Beam. Only was told because of Sauza debacle. But Beam loss is big, it was our second [biggest] account.”

Well, once again, slow down for a sec. We’ve been told by sources in the know that Havas Chicago’s contract with Beam brands Sauza (you can read all about the recent ad controversy here) and Hornitos runs until 2014, and next year, the spirits brand has decided to focus on the Hispanic market and is therefore planning on moving its business for its aforementioned pair of tequila brands to a Hispanic agency. Still, Havas Chicago continues to work on Beam’s vodka brands including Pucker and Effen.

As for mall boutique chain Claire’s, which awarded AOR duties to what was then Euro RSCG Chicago last August, our sources tell us that the brand has built up its own marketing department in recent months and is taking most of the work in-house. Havas Chicago, though, will continue to work with Claire’s on a project basis according to those in the know. No word yet, though, if the Beam and Claire’s moves will result in any immediate cuts.

Rogers Joins Up with Havas Discovery

We’ve received confirmation that Carl Rogers has assumed the role of executive creative director at what is now Havas Discovery, the digital/analytics/CRM arm of Havas Worldwide. Last we recall, Rogers parted ways with Grey New York, where he last served as VP/creative on the Pantene business, a year ago. Unlike what tipsters are saying, though, Rogers joining Havas Discovery was not the handiwork of the agency’s Chicago CCO, Jason Peterson, but rather Paul Marobella, president of Havas Discovery.From what we’re hearing, British native Rogers is working across offices ranging from Chicago to Baltimore.

During his career, the creative has also served as copywriter/CD at the likes of Critical Mass, StrawberryFrog and Dentsu Amsterdam.

Como nossos filhos nos veêm quando bebemos?

Criado pela Euro RSCG Helsinki para a ONG Fragile Childhood, esse comercial mostra que monstros podem se transformar em realidade para muitas crianças. E essa ameaça surge dentro de casa.

Um filme poderoso, que me lembrou também a ótima campanha impressa da Save The Children premiada em Cannes esse ano.

Um comercial da Peugeot todo feito de papel

Esse é o típico caso em que o making of é mais legal que o produto final. A Peugeot fez um comercial inteiramente de papel – uma escolha estética bacana – mas o roteiro do comercial é chato e expositivo.

Não quero ser clichê e dizer que a culpa é do cliente, mas assista e você vai ver que não existe outro suspeito para acusar.

Acima o filme em si, e abaixo o processo de produção que mostra o cuidado com detalhes e o essencial planejamento pré-filmagem. A criação é da Euro RSCG London, com produção da The Mill.

Nessa linha de comercial de papel, gostaria de relembrar o filme da Volkswagen todo feito com material reciclável, de 2010.
