Small-Agency Execs Have Big Ideas for Midsize Companies


NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — The tectonic shifts taking place in marketing and advertising whereby brands can now live or die by 140-character tweets are enough to humble even the largest multinational corporations.

Colorado’s Debt Has Direct Impact on Direct Marketers


Rather than make tough choices to pare spending, state legislators are looking to raise new revenue wherever they can find it, regardless of the long-term economic impact their actions might have on job-creating businesses.

“Too many clothes make you cold. Winter clothing drive You donate. We carry. Somebody receives. Agente Cidadão See how the campaign was made on www.youtube.com/agentecidadao”

This year, the Agente Cidadão, a nonprofit organization that collects clothing, objects, furniture and food, made interventions in high-density traffic streets under viaducts and bridges that are taken up as residence by homeless people. Life-size pictures of closets full with clothes were pasted up in these areas, alongside with posters of the campaign. The places became actual “living ads”, and pictures of these interactions were used in the print campaign.

Don’t self treat

Can you treat yourself better than your doctor?
Self-medication can put your life in danger. Always consume medicines only after consulting your doctor.

Millions of people in India develop various medical complications due to not consulting to a docotor / physician before consuming medicines for minor ailments. Worldwide as well, self-medication is a huge problem. Government / non-government agencies in India and other countries have not started recongnising it as a growing problem and taken up the issue on a serious note. Patil Hospital, mumbaihad organised a ‘Patient Welfare Program’for educating patients / attendants / pharmacists / para-mecical staff / general public on various issues including ‘self medication’. The poster titled ‘Self Medication’ was highly successful in catching the attention and generating awareness among them on the importance of consulting a doctor before consuming any medication. Around 5000 people attended the program that was conducted for 10 days. The poster design was recreated in the size of a pamphlet and distributed to all the visitors. People could understand the complications and complexity associated with self medication. Many of them vowed to not indulge in self medication and also encourge their friends and relatives to do the same.

Brasil lança campanha global para incentivar o turismo internacional

Brasil Turismo

Junto com o lançamento do logo da Copa 2014 e os preparativos para o evento daqui 4 anos, o Brasil lançou uma campanha global para promover o país.

De responsabilidade da Embratur e produzida pela O2 de Fernando Meirelles, a iniciativa tem o slogan “O Brasil te chama, celebre a vida aqui”. A campanha, que será exibida em mais de 100 países, será apresentada oficialmente – e com peças inéditas – nessa segunda-feira, dia 12.

O objetivo é duplicar o turismo internacional no próximo ano, e colocar o Brasil entre os 15 destinos mais importantes do mundo até 2020 – atualmente é o 41º lugar.

O primeiro filme da campanha você assiste abaixo, e que achei surpreendentemente bom. Sem apelar para os velhos clichês do carnaval (apesar da trilha sonora), da malandragem e do povo “guerreiro” daquele comercial de cerveja.
