Jack Black em intervenção no YouTube para promover “Kung Fu Panda 2?

Alguém já cansou das intervenções no YouTube? Mesmo que você responde sim, certamente vale a pena ver essa para o “Kung Fu Panda 2″.

Principalmente por dois motivos: Ela começa com um vídeo antes – esse abaixo com o Jack Black – e demanda um pouco de interação para ver o “skadoosh!”.

É um trabalho do The Visionaire Group para a DreamWorks.


Google Chrome Speed Tests


Para mostrar que o Google Chrome é rápido ‘bagarai’, o Google produziu esse filme comparando velocidades de coisas reais com velocidades de navegação/processamento.

São traquitanas ao melhor estilo Mythbusters que disparam o clique do mouse e os experimentos em sincronia. A montagem e edição do filme são fantásticos e o destaque vai para os efeitos sonoros. Algumas micro sequencias até me lembraram a edição de Requiem for a Dream.

Como todo experimento cientifico ou pseudo cientifico, existem critérios para a comparação. Todos muito bem explicados no descritivo do video lá no Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCgQDjiotG0

Enfim. São 3 situações:
– Chrome abrindo site de receitas X Tiro de batata
– Chrome abrindo Pandora X Ondas sonoras

Google lança canal Palpita Brasil no YouTube

Google YouTube ESPN Palpita Brasil

Em parceria com a ESPN Brasil, o Google lançou o canal Palpita Brasil no YouTube, em ação especial para a Copa do Mundo 2010.

Além do “envie seu vídeo” com palpites sobre o torneio, as pessoas são convidadas a compor a letra do “Hino da Torcida”, que será gravado pela Claudia Leitte. Ou seja, essa é a sua chance de escrever o mínimo possível, e fazê-la ficar de boca fechada.

A iniciativa tem patrocínio da Skol, Sony, Vivo e Volkswagen.

Um coral com 250 vídeos do YouTube

Virtual Choir

Desde o ano passado, o compositor e maestro Eric Whitacre pedia a participação das pessoas para criar um coral online, através de seu blog e Facebook.

Foram cerca de 250 vídeos publicados no YouTube, com cada pessoa cantando individualmente “Lux Arumque”, composição do próprio Whitacre. Todo o material foi então reunido em um único vídeo, e o resultado é impressionante:

MTV Brasil notifica Google e quer todo seu conteúdo excluído do YouTube

MTV Brasil YouTube

Contra a distribuição do conteúdo de suas afiliadas (MTV, Paramount, Nickelodeon, etc) no YouTube, a Viacom tenta receber do Google 1 bilhão de dólares, em uma complicada e sigilosa ação judicial movida desde 2007.

A briga é antiga, mas agora até a MTV Brasil, que desde o fim do ano passado nem pertecem mais a Viacom, resolveu seguir os passos de sua antiga dona. A emissora notificou extrajudicialmente o Google, e quer receber pelo conteúdo de sua propriedade que está no YouTube. E enquanto esse dinheiro não vem (se é que um dia virá), informa que quer toda a sua produção excluída do site.

O diretor-geral da MTV, André Mantovani, declarou que caso o Google não pague, “medidas judiciais” serão tomadas.

É claro que todo mundo espera um acordo justo entre as empresas, mas parece que a primeira abordagem não foi das mais amigáveis. Olha que bonita a parceria que a CBS, que um dia foi a Viacom, tem com o YouTube. Sigam o exemplo.

Super Bowl XLIV: Google veicula comercial “Parisian Love”

Super Bowl 44 Google Ad

Durante a semana passada, eu comentei no Twitter que estava achando as expectativas para esse Super Bowl bem baixas. Nenhum grande comercial revelado, nada que valesse a pena passar pra frente até então.

Mas acontece que o Google nos pregou uma surpresa, em um movimento nada esperado. Os rumores começaram com um tweet do CEO da empresa de Mountain View, Eric Schmidt.

Eric dizia estar ansioso pelo Super Bowl, e alertou “tenha certeza de assistir os comerciais do terceiro tempo”. E ele tinha razão.

O filme veiculado faz parta da campanha “Search Stories” do Google, e está no YouTube desde novembro do ano passado. “Parisian Love” é nada menos do que um comercial totalmente institucional, sem vender um produto específico, mas sim a marca Google.

É sim uma peça excelente, criativa e tocante, que mostra como o Google pode estar presente (e ajudar) em diversos momentos da vida. Porém, não deixa de ser curioso uma empresa que, um dia declarou que campanhas institucionais significam jogar dinheiro fora, anunciar no intervalo mais caro da televisão.

YouTube arrecadou US$ 10,709.16 com teste de aluguel de filmes

YouTube Rental

Terminado o teste de aluguel de filmes via YouTube, em parceria com o Sundance Film Festival, o Google arrecadou exatos 10,709.16 dólares.

Juntos, os cinco filmes disponíveis para locação foram vistos 2,684 vezes, em um período de 10 dias, custando US$ 3,99 cada um. Foram eles: “Bass Ackwards”, “The Cove”, “One Too Many Mornings”, “Homewrecker” e “Children of Invention”

São números que não impressionam, muito menos incomodam concorrentes como Apple e a Netflix (que diz ter 6 milhões de espectadores de filmes via streaming). Porém, o próprio YouTube encara a experiência como um sucesso.

Considerando que são filmes pouco conhecidos, sem distribuição comercial, a audiência é mais do que o dobro do que a quantidade de pessoas que assistiram no festival. Amplificar o alcance era o objetivo inicial, dinheiro depois.

A intenção do Google é continuar valorizando filmes de baixo orçamento, obscuros, muitas vezes de diretores e atores iniciantes, até que a plataforma esteja bem desenvolvidas para títulos maiores e grandes produtoras.

Google começa a oferecer aluguel de filmes através do YouTube

YouTube Rental

O Google inicia amanhã um teste: aluguel de filmes através do YouTube. Em parceria com o Sundance Film Festival, serã 5 filmes disponíveis para locação até o dia 31 de janeiro: “Bass Ackwards”, “The Cove”, “One Too Many Mornings”, “Homewrecker” e “Children of Invention”.

Cada um dos títulos custará US$ 3.99, cobrado através do Google Checkout, com prazo de 24 horas para ser assistido. Depois disso, a intenção é oferecer o serviço para produtores independentes, para que possam rentabilizar suas obras além das migalhas do AdSense, e claro, atingir no futuro os grandes estúdios de Hollywood.

Esse é o primeiro modelo de negócio do Google não baseado em publicidade. A cobrança por conteúdo on demand começa como um experimento, mas pode representar a entrada da gigante internética em um terreno já disputado pela Apple, Amazon, Netflix e outras.

Ataque de Pánico!: Do YouTube para US$ 30 milhões e um contrato com Hollywood

Ataque Panico

Há pouco mais de um mês, o uruguaio Fede Alvarez publicou no YouTube um curta-metragem chamado “Ataque de Pánico!”, que ele mesmo produziu com apenas US$ 300.

São 5 minutos em que Montevidéu é atacada por robôs gigantes, e que hoje chegou a quase 4 milhões de visualizações. Poderia ser apenas mais uma história de um talento viralizado pela internet, mas foi além.

Descoberto pelo diretor Sam Raimi, “apenas” o cara da trilogia “Homem-Aranha” e “Evil Dead”, Fede Alvarez agora vai receber 30 milhões de dólares para produzir um longa de ficção científica, além de um contrato com um estúdio de Hollywood, a Ghost House Pictures.

Alvarez conta que subiu o seu vídeo para o YouTube em uma quinta-feira, e na segunda já tinha seu email cheio de mensagens de produtores hollywoodianos interessados em seu trabalho.

“Ataque de Pánico!” não tem história alguma, é apenas ação e computação gráfica bem convincentes, mas já vejo Sam Raimi tendo uma visão de Peter Jackson, que também financiou Neill Blomkamp e seu sucesso “Distrito 9″.

Seven Lessons YouTube’s Greatest Hits Teach Us About Advertising

finger_biteRecently, I watched “ 100 greatest hits of YouTube in 4 minutes,” and afterward, I immediately had three thoughts: 1) Hmm, I hadn’t seen all of those, so maybe I’m not as interweb-urbane as I thought I was; 2) How is it possible that people have watched drivel like a baby biting a toddler’s finger 60 million times? and 3) what can I infer from this swab from pop culture’s cheek as I continue perpetrating advertising? After a few viewings, I came up with seven ideas:

1. Slapstick never gets old. The Three Stooges were doing it since the beginning of Hollywood, but bike crashes, faceplants, jumps, and asking if things will blend, it’s still a great way to get attention. But once you have those eyeballs, you better be selling something relevant, like health care, stunt bike instruction, or table-dancing classes so Scarlet doesn’t take another tumble. We’ve all felt ripped off by the ad that ensnared us with shtick, then slapped us with the shill.

2. Sometimes cheezy is the right ingredient. How many years has Rick Astley been sneaking up on us unawares? Not to mention Snuggies, the late Billy Mays, and other so-wrong-it’s right singers and pitchmen? I’m not saying you have to like it. I’m just saying millions of us can’t help watching it.

3. Pet tricks rule. Sleepwalking dogs, curious cats, loving lions, dramatic chipmunks–whether we’re pet people or not, we love watching furry, fanged, and feathered escapades. eTrade’s chimps Super Bowl spot from a few years back, and the more recent Cadbury Gorilla show how effective a well-placed primate can be.

4. Kids are funny. Novocained out, biting fingers, delivering oddly self-aware monologues to the camera, or, of course, saying bad words. It’s an old device in the persuasion business, but tens of millions of views don’t lie: out of the mouths of babes can come the meme that sweeps the nation.

5. We may not like dancing, but we sure like watching others do it. Suave or stupid, sexy or stumbling, krumpers to presidents, we can’t take our eyes off of folks busting a move. A lot of great ads, like Levi’s “crazy legs” and the Nike soccer and basketball “freestyle” spots, brought this same basic idea to life with impeccable production values.

6. We want to get bowled over by greatness. Paul Potts and Susan Boyle from Britain’s “Got Talent” stand out as recent titans of YouTube, but in a world where many of us don’t do anything more unusual than maxing out on the bench press or keeping kids from killing each other in the back of the car, encounters with the exceptional still stop us in our tracks.

7. Even if you hate pop music, you better keep up with it. If checked YouTube’s most popular yourself, you’ll know that this isn’t really them, it’s “YouTube’s top 100, not including music videos.” If this clip were re-cut to reflect reality, it would sound more like a mish-mash of pop and hip-hop from the last five years; 36 out of the top 50 are professional music videos (I wouldn’t count OK GO), and Michael Jackson is the exception in a crowd of flavor-of-the-month entertainers.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get back to the Miley Cyrus/Avril/Jonas Brothers playlist I’ve got on repeat for inspiration.







Viral Video Causes PR Controversy

A recent video making the rounds detailed a young woman who, after having a one-night stand and becoming pregnant, decides to find the father. It spawned some rather funny follow-ups (the ex-boyfriend, below, etc.) but outraged many, and it was removed from YouTube.

After many comments on the video, it was finally announced the video was a gimmick to entice people to visit Denmark. While the company might have had the best initial intentions, it fails to spark my interest to visit. In fact, it actually makes me want to stay far, far away.

However, the advertising agency Grey said it was a hit, and it did create quite a bit of buzz, although, not the best kind.

“It is the most successful viral advertising ever,” said Peter Helstrup, Director of Grey Copenhagen. “We have cut through the media clutter. It has cost us the same as a 30-second commercial, aired a few times on TV2.”

Viral videos are always a great marketing campaign, but why did they think this situation would make someone want to visit Denmark?

“Karen’s story shows that Denmark is a free place with space for you to be who you want,” VisitDenmark CEO Dorte Kiilerich said in a news release. “The film is good exposure for Danish self-sufficient and dignified women. We’re telling a nice and sweet story about a modern responsible woman that lives in a free society and takes responsibility for her choices, and she uses a modern and social media.”

Really? This is actually hilarious, but can you really label it a sweet story? If she was responsible, then having a child without a father wouldn’t have happened, correct?

VisitDenmark went a new route with their marketing, and although it may have had the best of intentions, they missed the mark. Do I want to visit a place where it’s advertised I can become impregnated? It doesn’t give me the best of impressions of the country.

Still Aren’t Using Social Media to Advertise?

Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Revver, WordPress, Reddit, Digg, Ning, Xing, Squidoo, Tumblr and Flickr (overwhelmed yet? I can go on) are all social media. What is the hype? It’s the talk of the town and everybody is doing it. However, is it of any use as a tool for marketing? It is! And you aren’t using it yet?

As a follow up to my last post, 10 Reasons to Use Online Video for Your Business, and a non-related follow up to Megan Green’s post, I thought I’d keep the ball rolling with 5 reasons why you must use social media to advertise your business:

It’s FREE – Connecting with customers/clients through Facebook and LinkedIn, posting your deals on Twitter, and demonstrating your expertise through a blog or video can all be done at the cost of $0. What it will cost, however, is time and some DIY prowess because each social media platform requires its own variation of communication for optimal effectiveness. Some initial research is suggested to decide which platform may best suit your business. However, if you’re a strong believer of “time is money” and are too busy to teach yourself social media, there are companies that can help you and your business get started for as little as $299.

Location, Location, Location – You want your product/service seen by as many people as possible, and, without any statistics to back me up here, there are a lot of people on the internet using social media sites. A lot. We’re talking hundreds of millions. For you naysayers: as of July, Facebook alone had 250 million users. Can you afford to ignore these people? A better question: can you afford to have these people ignore you?

Sharable – Not only will your product/service be seen, you can also have it shared. If a person on Twitter sees your tweet promoting your business and knows people in his or her network that can use it, he or she may pass the promotion on with a retweet. If you write a great blog post on the benefits of your service and submit it to social bookmarking sites, people can discover and rate it moving it up the site’s ranks, which allows more people to discover it. If you made an entertaining video about your product, it could be passed around to hundreds, thousands, and possibly millions of people. Imagine that, a :60-second video about your product seen by millions. It’s FREE advertising.

Long Lasting – Once your business/product/service information makes it onto these social media sites, it can live on forever. That’s a long time (don’t worry, it’s a good thing). There it is, your info being seen and promoted long after you posted it and readily available when you want to put some extra muscle behind it.

Engagement – People who use your product/service will have an opinion about it, and more often than not, they will voice their opinions through social media, and you should know exactly what they are saying, good or bad. If someone sings your praises by writing an elaborate blog post, you can share that with your network or use it as a testimonial on your website. If someone tweets a complaint about your product/service, you can address it and ideally change their mind. No one likes to feel ignored, so if you can show your customers/clients you care and listen, that will definitely strengthen relationships.

There are easily more than five reasons to use social media for your business, so be sure to come back for updates. As usual, feel free to ask a question or drop a comment.

P.S. Once again, to redeem my cool points, here’s a video from my Creative Director poking fun at so called “social media experts,” because you can’t be an expert in something that is constantly changing with new platforms, bells & whistles.

World Wildlife Fund Ad Sparks Anger, but Makes a Good Point

article-1211029-06476D38000005DC-976_634x437This week, the ad community was put on display by an ad leaked out of DDB Brazil. The client, the World Wildlife Fund, was none too excited over this release (or was it?), and the pundits were salivating at the opportunity to rip this spot apart with their fake outrage.

The ad features a very moving truth and the media uproar displays a few ‘inconvenient truths’ about Americans. First, we seem to only care about ourselves. Second, we can’t stomach a brutally honest message. If three people die in a shooting in the US, we talk about it nonstop for months, but if 100 people die in a mudslide in Taiwan, we barely bat an eyelash. This spot tells a great truth about the power of mother nature and is effective in portraying it. It has made me think about mother nature more than anything since Hurricane Katrina, in part because I, too, am a silly American who tends to think only about American lives.

We’ve become distanced from reality. When the ad community attempts to make a hard-hitting PSA to curtail drinking/texting while driving, drug use, or to impress upon people the awesome power of mother nature, we’re forced to go soft for the sake of the populace. Why are we such wimps? The events of September 11, 2001 were horrific, and I don’t see how this spot is, in any way, attempting to make our tragedy seem like anything less.

This creative concept is brilliant. It is so simple, so logical, and so impressively gut wrenching. More people should take a moment to get past the fake outrage and digest the information being presented. Still, the point of the campaign was to create awareness of the awesome power this planet has over us, but I think it accomplished that and then some. This might just be the most efficient use of a client’s money this year.

Projeto cria DVD colaborativo do show do Radiohead no Brasil

Radiohead Rain Down

Quando eu fui no show do Radiohead no Rio me pelei de medo de ter o celular roubado e deixei o iPhone em casa. Pra minha sorte várias pessoas não fizeram o mesmo e filmaram pedaços dos show, colocando como sempre esses trechos no YouTube. A idéia de cada uma dessas pessoas nunca foi fazer um videoclipe e sim marcar um “eu estive lá” para os amigos.

Até que um cara chamado Andrews Ferreira Guedis chamou para si a responsabilidade e falou: vou colar todos esses pedaços e fazer um DVD do show user-generated. Os Beastie Boys já tinham feito algo nessa pegada no Awesome; I Fuckin’ Shot That!, mas as câmeras foram distribuídas ao público e a edição foi profissional. Aqui com o Radiohead tudo é na base da raça.

O resultado ia sendo liberado no YouTube aos poucos e, finalmente finalizado, está disponível desde a virada do mês no Projeto Rain Down – Live in São Paulo. A paciência chinesa (e o alvo de minha reverência) é do Andrews, mas o projeto é de literalmente centenas de pessoas. Gente que usou desde celulares até câmeras fotográficas que “filmam” em alta definição, como o enxame.tv (que libera todo seu conteúdo em Creative Commons).

O áudio vem também das câmeras dos fãs e da versão (incompleta) transmitida pelo Multishow.

O trabalho final pode ser baixado em versão para gerar um DVD ou em um arquivo AVI, via torrent e outros métodos. Eu já estou baixando o meu. Até porque daqui a pouco algum inteligentíssimo executivo brasileiro vai achar isso tudo errado e criar caso.

Eu não sei você, mas é esse tipo de coisa que me deixa arrepiado por horas, pensando em como o mundo está mudando bem diante dos nossos olhos. E é incrível como o Radiohead encabeça várias dessas mudanças.

Vegemite: Kraft’s Relaunch Leads to Top Global Brand Affinity

Vegemite3Sometimes the past is fulfilled with wonderful memories of friends, music, good times and lots of laughter. Or, the past should remain exactly where it is, especially when remembering how you dressed, your bodily piercings, and that mullet with the spiked top that would never go out of style. If you remember the mullet, do you recall these lyrics?

Buying bread from a man in Brussels He was six foot four and full of muscles I said, “Do you speak-a my language?” He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
By: Men At Work, “A Land Down Under

What in the heck is Vegemite, anyway? Until writing this post, I didn’t know, nor care. Then I found out that Vegemite is actually produced by Kraft Foods, and that Kraft has developed a new Vegemite formula and has rolled it out in Australia…

My first thought: “Would this be the next huge marketing FAIL, akin to the New Coke Formula back in 1985?”
Knowing absolutely nothing about the product, I had to do some research. What is Vegemite?

Vegemite is similar to the British product Marmite, which is a tacky paste, brown in color, with a salty “beef broth” or “meaty-like taste.” Marmite is usually spread on toast or biscuits but can also be mixed with hot water to make a drink. Marmite is made out of yeast extract saved after the beer brewing process. During World War I, the flow of Marmite to Australia was interrupted and an Australian cheese company, Fred Walker & Co., commissioned an Aussie scientist to come up with similar replacement.

Vegemite was introduced with great fanfare (including a national naming contest) in 1923. The naming campaign was a big success; the product flopped. Despite various marketing efforts, Vegemite sales remained poor. Kraft purchased Walker & Co. in 1926 (forming the Kraft Walker Cheese Company) and in 1928, changed the name to Parmite, which killed Vegemite’s tiny though hard-won market share. Vegemite never recovered.

vegemite2So, with plenty of Vegemite on-hand, the Kraft Walker Cheese Company started giving it away with Pontiac automobiles and cheese products. Sales responded positively; then, the British medical association proclaimed that Vegemite was a great source of Vitamin B. Sales increased more. By World War II, Vegemite was in 9 of 10 Australian homes, had become part of a soldier’s daily ration kit, and was even carried by Aussie’s traveling abroad due to lack of availability in other countries. Today, Vegemite is one of the most well-known global brands and outsells Marmite in Australia by huge margins.

Kraft tried to extend the brand with a cheese and Vegemite “single,” but failed. However, marketing contests, such as limerick and song competitions, boosted sales. Then, following the war, the baby boom hit and Kraft jumped on Vegemite’s Vitamin B content for infants;

“…baby care expert Sister Mc Donald, said in the Women’s Weekly that “Vegemite is most essential”, further cementing Vegemite’s reputation for nutrition and wholesomeness. Infant Welfare Centres were recommending babies have their quota of Vitamin B1, B2 and Niacin. Vegemite had them all!”

By the 1950’s, Vegemite was to Australia what apple pie is to America, aided in part by consumer-oriented campaigns initiated by J.Walter Thompson.

On July 7, 2009, Kraft released a ’second’ Vegemite. The new Vegemite is a mix of Vegemite and cream cheese, is less salty, spreads much easier, and supposedly tastes better. To coincide with the release of the new recipe, Kraft is running a competition to give the new flavor a name, hearkening back to the competitions that worked 50 years ago. Kraft recently launched a comprehensive marketing campaign to name the new Vegemite, drawing on the successes of past campaigns that involved the public.

In fact, the new campaign mixes both traditional and Social Media, including an interactive website that includes fun facts, the naming contests, and the history of Vegemite. The new Vegemite can be found on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. Below is the one of several commercials. This one has been extended to be 48-seconds long:

And, just as in the early days, J. Walter Thompson was chosen for creative expertise. While some wait to see if this brand extension will be a coup or a pile of crap, early research shows that Vegemite has more brand affinity than Coca-Cola, Starbucks, and Nike (globally);

The research analysed 1.5 billion posts across 38 languages within social networking sites, blogs, message boards, and online news. The results discovered 479,206 mentions for Vegemite, with brand affinity found more often than any other product globally.

If this was an election, the early results would show that the new Vegemite is a serious contender; however, all the votes haven’t been cast. Based on my research, I believe that the new Vegemite will most certainly take space in Australian kitchens.
