The Day Cause Marketing Died


It was a cool and calm morning the day cause marketing died. It seemed to happen so quickly. One day the marketplace was full of companies and nonprofits working together for the common good. And then it was over. The blame game is in full swing. Various theories are being debated as to what happened. But looking back, it seems clear why cause marketing died.

Em qual agência brasileira você gostaria de trabalhar? (Edição 2010)

Ranking Agências 2010 Publicidade Propaganda Trabalho

Mês de junho é mês de Copa do Mundo, de Cannes Lions e da pesquisa anual do Brainstorm #9 que pergunta: “Em qual agência brasileira você gostaria de trabalhar?”.

A pesquisa é rápida, indolor, anônima e, não custa lembrar, sem pretensões científicas, estatísticas ou que quer que seja. Digo isso pois todo ano o ranking é polêmico, incluindo a reclamação da não presença de alguma agência na lista inicial.

Como você sabe, seria impossível incluir todas as empresas de comunicação do Brasil em uma pesquisa informal como essa, e a lista é baseada no rankings das maiores (segundo M&M e Ibope) e também aquelas que, de alguma forma, tiveram destaque no site no último ano.

A intenção com o ranking é tentar mostrar um pouco a percepção das agências diante de profissionais e estudantes de comunicação, e a não separação de disciplinas, misturando online, offline, promoção, etc, é proposital.

Li recentemente que um grupo de consultoria internacional vai realizar no Brasil uma pesquisa para responder a mesma pergunta – as melhores agências para se trabalhar – que já é feita em outros países há alguns anos. Quando o resultado sair, poderemos comparar se o ranking obtido aqui no Brainstorm #9 se assemelha de alguma forma.

Dito tudo isso, responda depois do jump. Se tiver problemas, responda aqui. E também, relembre o resultado dos três anos anteriores: 2007, 2008 e 2009.

As the case law for social media campaigns grows more robust by the day, I'm worried that we're codifying our approaches before we've fully explored the possibilities. It is still time to experiment, truly, only I think we need to find cases that haven't been vetted by the social media lobby.
