Post-Digital Era Brings Traits of Web to Real World

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Nicholas Negroponte declared the digital revolution over in 1998, but it took adland 12 more years to rework its basic creative, technological, philosophical and procedural assumptions. Today, much of the marketing world has embraced the spirit of the digital age, and perhaps the strongest evidence is that it's doing a lot of work that's not so, well, "digital."

Broadcast’s Youth Market Starts at 44

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — While advertisers get ready to plunk down billions on prime-time broadcast TV during this upfront, consider this statistic: The median age of viewers of regular prime-time fare is nearing 51 (Fox, the youngest, is 44). All of which leads to a burning question: Why are advertisers expected to rush to pick up some $9 billion in inventory in a medium that seems to be passing by younger viewers?

Fiat | Brainstorming

Eu imagino que esta campanha da francesa Marcel Paris já tenha sido criada inúmeras vezes, como brincadeira ou para se vingar de algum briefing mal escrito – “caras, a gente precisa de algo inovador, fora da caixinha, um verdadeiro mindfuck“. Mas daí a realmente bancar e produzir a idéia, com requintes estéticos de filme trash, é realmente digno de reconhecimento.

Só fico em dúvida se isso foi ou será veiculado em TV. Uma coisa é colocar um panda no lugar de um boneco de testes e correr o risco de irritar defensores dos direitos dos animais – e de ganhar um Leão de ouro -, outra é correr o risco de reações adversas em pessoas com estômago mais sensível. De qualquer jeito, confesso que nunca mais vou olhar para o nome deste blog do mesmo jeito.

A produção é de Première Heure Groupe, Supply & Demand e WAM.

Lost, só acaba uma vez

Lost Finale

É hoje. O final de “Lost” chegou e agora eu só leio alguma coisa na internet depois de assistir o derradeiro episódio. Mas antes disso, participei da maratona de posts sobre a série do Trabalho Sujo (obrigado pelo convite, Alexandre Matias) e ainda tive tempo de ver esse vídeo abaixo.

É um tributo musical editado por Alex Levy, que é justamente o editor musical de “Lost”. São cenas de 9 episódios diferentes, embalados por músicas que fizeram parte da série. Bom pra relembrar, bom pra ficar triste pelo final.

Aproveite e relembre todos os posts do Brainstorm #9 sobre “Lost”. Não foram poucos.

Global Fund: Baby in the sky

France’s first lady Carla Bruni has launched Born HIV Free, a campaign to highlight the plight of the hundreds of thousands of babies born each year with HIV. To mark the launch, Passion Paris animation collective Bonzom have created a free floating, phantasmagorical film, Baby In The Sky. Full of vivid colour and tinged with a dreamlike quality, the film follows a baby as it takes flight and embraces an HIV-free future. “The idea was to avoid playing on this concept of guilt to encourage people to give, more to promote the feeling of sharing and desire. In the case of mother-to-child HIV transmission, the drugs are available – the problem is one of mobilization,” explain Passion Paris executive producer Marc Bodin-Joyeux and Jack from Bonzom.
