Estão abertas as inscrições para a edição 2009 do prêmio Big Idea Chair, do Yahoo! Brasil, apresentado oficialmente no EBP 2009, dia 8 de agosto.

Assim como em outros países onde o prêmio também é oferecido, a proposta é premiar apenas 1 case, entregando aos vencedores, a famosa cadeira roxa como troféu.

Este ano, além dos jurados (Eduardo Bicudo/Wunderman, Eduardo Fischer/Grupo Total, Flavio Salles/SunMRM, Jean Boechat/JWT, José Carlos Rapacci/Mars Brasil, Luiz Lara/Lew’LaraTBWA, Maurício Greco/Ford Brasil, Michel Lent/Ogilvy Interactive, Orlando Marques/Publicis, Raphael Vasconsellos/Agência Click, Ricardo Fort/Coca Cola, Ricardo Monteiro/Reckitt Benckiser e Serio Motta Melo/TV1), a votação popular via internet ajudará a eleger a Grande Idéia da publicidade nacional. Outra novidade para este ano é o tema da campanha: “Pimp My Chair“, que convidará os profissionais da área de Atedimento, Criação, Mídia e Tecnologia a “duelarem” entre is com composições ao ritmo de hip-hop, através do hotsite.

Em setembro, os jurados avaliarão os cases, e no dia 5 de outubro será anunciado o shortlist – quando começa também a votação popular, que vai até o dia 23 de outubro, no site do prêmio. O grande vencedor do Big Idea Chair 2009 será conhecido em tempo real no portal do Yahoo! Brasil, dia 26 de outubro.

Na edição passada, mais de 80 cases foram inscritos no prêmio, com vitória da agência CuboCC (agência e produtora) e Unilever, com o case Axe Dark Temptation.

 

Rexona cria banner com competição entre blogs

Mesmo que não fosse um anunciante do Brainstorm #9, o superbanner de Rexona X Race aí em cima mereceria ser comentado. A ação não envolve nenhum tipo de interferência no conteúdo editorial, estou postando pois gostei da idéia. Até porque, se você clicar nele, vai ajudar o site a vencer a corrida com Sedentário & Hiperativo, Autozine e Digital Drops.

Cada vez que alguem vota, a contagem é atualizada automaticamente. A competição termina no dia 19, e o blog vencedor irá participar de uma corrida de verdade em São Paulo, no dia 23 de agosto, um domingo, das 8h às 15h.

Rexona

Agora, como eu sou legal e altruísta (claro, claro), vou sortear essa vaga na corrida (isso se o blog ganhar na votação, é claro) entre os leitores do site. Funciona assim: Você deixa um comentário bacana nesse post, e eu escolho o que achar melhor para participar do evento e representar o Brainstorm #9 na corrida real.

Porém, tem um detalhe: Sei que é sacanagem, mas isso só vale para moradores de São Paulo. Eu ainda não sei como são esses carros, mas pelo comercial do produto, já dá pra imaginar.

A criação é da CUBOCC.

About Those Hachette Rumors …


NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S., publisher of magazines including Elle and Woman's Day, recently distributed a "disclaimer" from its parent, the Lagardere Active division of Lagardere, attempting to smother the latest flare-up of a seriously distracting rumor. It holds that Lagardere wants to get Hearst to run Elle for it in the U.S., possibly so Lagardere can pull up stakes on its domestic magazine division entirely. So Advertising Age sat down with Mr. Lemarchand for an on-the-record lunch in an attempt to get the facts properly sorted.
