Because Melting Crayons Have Everything to do With Your Friends

When The Going Gets Tough, Go Guerrilla

posters

If you’re anything like me, “change” is a word that has been overused of late. Well, unfortunately, it’s going to happen again: Change. Change. CHANGE!

Change the way you think. Change the way you act. Look at your client from another angle. Ask someone else what they see. Don’t rely on what you think you know, go and find out what others know. 

Our industry beat the phrase, “Think Outside the Box” into the ground, but now-really-it’s time to think outside the box. If you wait for your clients to come to you, it’s too late…trust me, others have great ideas, just like you do. The only difference is that they’re acting on theirs. So, Refresh. Renew. Revitalize. Do something…something is always better than nothing.

Try Guerrilla! It’s relatively inexpensive. You can target geographically. It’s tactical. It makes a splash. It may get you in trouble, but it gets the message out…and PR is PR, right?

Granted, it won’t be perfect for every client, but you have at least one that would benefit. Automotive? Entertainment? Packaged Goods? Think it’s not for your clients? Think again: MSN, Yahoo, Carmex, Disney, Activision, CBS, TBS, New Balance, Absolut, AT&T, New York Sports Clubs, Pepsi, and tons of new movie releases have all recently used some form of poster advertising.

You’re there because you’re creative. So, be creative.

The Name Game

Miller Park in Milwaukee Makes Sense

Miller Park in Milwaukee Makes Sense

The list of failed companies which have placed their names on stadiums and arenas reads like a who’s who. Enron, Pacific Bell, PSI.net, Bank One, Network Associates, Citi Group, etc. Are ad execs so star struck when it comes to sports that they are willing to spend a significant chunk of their budget on a tactic that has often led to failure? Unless you’re a brewery with your name on a basball park you can probably find better ways to spend your money.

‘Two and a Half Men’ Finale Finishes Up 10% Over Last Year’s


MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — What a day — literally and figuratively: Fresh off allegations of head-butting, a more cerebral, and certainly civil, Keifer Sutherland addressed advertisers at yesterday's Fox upfront presentation. Hours later, his character, Jack Bauer, saved the world (again) on "24." His place on the stage, and on the schedule, indicates not only that he'll be back, but that Fox has got his back. Fewer viewers, however, stuck with him till the end.

Nutella | Better Breakfast Challenge

nutella.jpg

No Canadá, a Nutella criou uma campanha nacional para trazer de volta o posicionamento que evoca a saudabilidade de seu produto e dos cafés da manhã entre as famílias canadenses.

Para lançar a campanha, a Nutella está convocando mães para que elas criem refeições matutinas mais saudáveis aos seus filhos. A campanha, chamada “Better Breakfast Challenge” (”Campeonato do Melhor Café da Manhã“) começou na semana passada, e da suporte à uma ONG, a Breakfast for Learning, uma organização sem fins lucrativos que defende programas de nutrição infantil no Canadá. Nesta competição, cada mãe que assinar um compromisso de 21 dias com esta ONG, sugerindo coisas e ajudando na otimização de recursos para eles, a Nutella irá doar 1 dólar para a Breakfast for Learning.

Ainda na complementação da campanha, a Nutella inseriu uma nova ferramenta em seu próprio site. Nesta ferramenta as mães podem “construir” e planejar um café da manhã mais saudável, adicionando alimentos e sabendo tudo sobre o valor nutricional de cada coisa sugerida por nutricionistas.
