Customer Service Is Either Great or Terrible


It seems that everyone is prepared to apologize for just about anything, and communications consultants will argue that apologies are the new entry to real dialogue. Jonathan Salem Baskin worries that because we know the vast majority of consumers will tolerate shoddy or inconsistent service, offering an apology in lieu of real, operational behavior is a gift from on high. It's effectively free and we don't really mean it.

Ninguna camiseta vale más que una vida

Fubb

Ação muito bacana que acaba de ganhar o GP no Desachate, o festival do Círculo Criativo Uruguaio de Publicidade.

Depois de suspender os jogos em todas as categorias e em todo o país por um mês devido a morte de torcedores, a Federação Uruguaia de Basketball retomou os jogos com um ato simbólico: todos as partidas foram realizadas com os times jogando com os uniformes do adversário.

Como se num Grenal o Inter entrasse com o uniforme azul e o Grêmio de vermelho. Ou pra ficar no exemplo paulista, Ronaldo e companhia esivessem de verde enquanto Diego Sousa e sua turma de alvinegro.

Por que? Porque nenhuma camiseta vale mais do que uma vida. Eu achei genial.

Criação da Notable Publicidade.

AmBev pinta tudo de azul pelo Dia Mundial da Água

Movimento Cyan

A causa é boa e a verba é farta, mas as caras já feias dos portais brasileiros ficaram ainda piores com o “Movimento Cyan”, lançado pela AmBev hoje, Dia Mundial da Água. Principalmente o UOL, que ainda não saiu dos anos 1990.

Ok, a onda agora é dizer que não se pode reclamar disso, pois é tudo pra salvar o planeta. Mas eu reclamo. Sustentabilidade com elegância. Isso também dá uma campanha. Fora essa minha “superficialidade” em reclamar da direção de arte do projeto, resta saber se a enorme compra de mídia vai conseguir engajar as pessoas no movimento.

Não só na internet, a AmBev também “pintou” as versões impressas de diversos jornais, como Folha de S. Paulo, Estado de S. Paulo, Destak e Metro. E além do patrocínio em massa, a empresa promove hoje no Parque do Ibirapuera um evento para lembrar sobre importância do uso consciente da água.

Como diria Al Gore, uma baleia está com problemas, preciso ir.

SKY TG 24: Opinions

[See post to watch Flash video]

Too often, the opinions we have are not really ours. They are the opinions “imposed” on us by media as they give us their point of view. SKY TG24 has always had an editorial line that focuses on objectivity: presenting facts in an objective manner is the best way to give people the possibility to really form their own opinion, without going through the filter of someone else’s point of view. This is the concept the movie is based on: a series of people expressing an opinion that is very evidently not their own.

Ligado na Facul: Unidotas

Unidotas

2009 não foi um ano muito bom para a comunicação das faculdades paulistas, quando todo mundo tirou uma casquinha para zoar o caso Geisy Arruda, colocando em cheque a qualidade das faculdades que não são, digamos, da primeira divisão. Provavelmente preocupado com isso o Sindicato das Entidades Mantenedoras de Estabelecimentos de Ensino Superior no Estado de São Paulo lançou o portal Ligado na Facul, com conteúdo que tenta passar a mensagem de que a escolha de onde estudar merece muita atenção do aluno. Blog, podcast, Twitter, Linkedin e até conteúdo com títulos em uma pegada jovem descolex de gosto duvidoso como Links irados atacam o assunto.

O destaque mesmo é o seeding, os gatilhos para trazer a galera irada das redes sociais para o site. Para isso a Convergencia Comunicação, responsável pela campanha, usou uma estratégia que eu sempre defendo: faça um conteúdo que coloque as pessoas para falar do assunto. Mais que um viralzinho é fazer um conteúdo que funciona sozinho, bota o assunto na boca das pessoas e leva ao site. Irado!

Para isso chamaram a galera irada da Massa Real — criadores do Massaroca, exibido no Metrópolis da TV Cultura e nosso vizinho de enxame — para fazer as Unidotas, uma série de videozinhos… irados.

O orçamento é baixo mas é sempre bom ver aquele humor básico, humor de raiz e, principalmente, o Arthur Warren vestido de Darth Vader.

Totalmente irado, tá ligado?
