Coke Zero | “Do Over” e “Cloning”

Coke Zero Máquina do Tempo Time Machine

Campanha esperta para Coca-Cola Zero criado pela Crispin Porter + Bogusky. Estamos em 2010, já não era hora dos cientistas terem inventado uma máquina do tempo?

Se já temos Coca-Cola com zero caloria com o mesmo sabor de Coca-Cola (segundo o cliente, é claro), nós já deveríamos no mínimo conseguir consertar as burradas que fizemos no passado.

E a clonagem humana? A produção é da Hungry Man.

Nova York de brinquedo

Tilt-Shift New York Day Time-Lapse

Tilt-shift é moda. Essa técnica, de utilizar movimentos específicos de camera e com foco seletivo que simula cenas em miniatura, está sendo utilizada em dezenas de vídeos e até em campanhas publicitárias (como essa de Itaú Personnalité) nos últimos meses.

Mas o troféu de excelência técnica vai para esse vídeo criado por Sam O’Hare. É um dia inteiro de uma Nova York que parece de brinquedo resumido em 5 minutos. Em muitos momentos, fica difícil de acreditar trata-se de cenas reais.

RangTang Vodka Tainted by Slang Definition


There are few harder jobs in the marketing business these days than coming up with new names for citrus-flavored vodkas. But Proximo's made-up word turns out not to be new — and has an unseemly heritage.

Soldado israelense fala demais no Facebook e vai pra prisão

Você já viu casos de pessoas que compartilham demais no Facebook e acabam se dando mal. Exemplos com chefes são os mais corriqueiros.

Mas a síndrome do “overshare” atingiu agora um soldado israelense, que arruinou uma operação militar depois de publicar em seu perfil a seguinte frase, segundo a BBC:

“Na quarta-feira, vamos limpar Qatanah (uma vila na Cisjordânia), e na quinta, se Deus quiser, voltaremos para casa.”

Os próprios amigos e soldados reportaram a publicação para autoridades, que decidiram cancelar a operação para evitar colocar as tropas em perigo. O soldado, que não teve o nome divulgado, foi para corte marcial e senteciado em 10 dias de prisão.

Com o vazamento da informação, a IDF (Israel Defence Forces) iniciou uma campanha alertando sobre os riscos de expor informações militares na internet. Os posters simulam uma página padrão do Facebook, com imagens do presidente do Irã, Mahmud Ahmadinejad, da Síria, Bashar al-Assad, e o líder do Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah.

Todos com a frase: “Você acha que todo mundo é seu amigo?”

Why Metrics Are Killing Creativity in Advertising


When the economy takes a nosedive, marketers get nervous. And when sales follow suit, clients stop approving creative ideas and start staring at numbers.

GM Recalls 1.3 Million Cars, Prompting No Outcry From Anyone

Everyone from Aunt Sally to Congress jumping on Toyota's case about its current recall. Those evil Japanese car companies are trying to kill innocent Americans! And Mr. Toyoda didn't answer to Congress' liking! And every single crisis-communications company sent out press releases with advice (much of it contradictory). So what happened when General Motors recalled over a million cars for steering issues?

Dobrow’s Happily Adrift in a Sea of Post-Show Discourse
