JetBlue Reminds Us Just How Much Flying Sucks

jetblue_pigeon.png

Here’s the problem with JetBlue’s new Mullen-created commercial for JetBlue. No matter how you sugarcoat it (bags fly free, most legroom in coach, unlimited snacks, free TV, friendly flight attendants), flying still sucks. Know why? Because people refuse to pay a lot to fly so the airlines have no choice but to pack as many people into a plane as possible and give them as few “perks” as they can.

In this new commercial, JetBlue attempts to identify with the plight of the frequent flier — in the form of a pigeon — in a way that accomplishes nothing except to remind people that, well, flying sucks. Does anyone really believe that flying JetBlue is markedly better than Southwest, American or United? Oh sure there are differences but all in all, unless you’re paying for the first class, the experience is equally bad.

The whole legroom thing is a joke. Until airlines make seats WIDER so you can prevent the invasion of one’s personal caused by the avalanche of your seat mate’s fat bulging from beneath and above the arm rest, flying will always suck.

And no amount of free TV, friendly service or free snacks (which, in actuality, just makes the problem worse), is going to solve this problem.

Leadership Atlanta: Zombie

Although Atlanta has experienced unprecedented growth in recent years, the city continues to face challenges that are key to maintaining its vitality and keeping a competitive edge. Like how to attract and retain the creative class. Leadership Atlanta, an organization made of up of the city’s top thought leaders dedicated to building a better community through education and civil involvement, has tapped into Atlanta’s advertising community and asked iris Worldwide to create a video to encapsulate this challenge and inspire Atlantans to submit solutions at the inaugural (co)lab Summit on September 22nd, colabsummit.com. To engage and motivate its audience, iris created a video featuring an unlikely spokesperson: A zombie with a highly refined palate.

AMC Spreads ‘Mad Men’ Final Season Over Two Years


AMC is milking “Mad Men” for all it’s got. The cable channel announced on Tuesday that the seventh and final season of the series will run in two parts over two years.

The first half of the final 14 episodes will air in spring 2014, followed by the second half in spring 2015.

AMC took the same approach with “Breaking Bad,” which began the first half of its fifth and final season in July 2012, took a lengthy break and returned for the last eight episodes this August.

Fly JetBlue and Stop Being a Sad, Pathetic Loser Like This Pigeon

JetBlue Airways is launching a big new ad campaign from Mullen with the theme "Air on the Side of Humanity." But its big star isn't even human—he's a pigeon.

The 60-second launch spot is a documentary-style piece in which the pigeon—that most frequent of frequent fliers, and most underappreciated of birds—talks about how he flies in crowded spaces, gets crumbs for snacks and is generally ignored. Thus, he's a stand-in for the masses who, with ruffled feathers, shuffle onto rival planes and experience the worst of air travel. "There's got to be a way to fly with a little respect. You know?" our hero asks at the end, as the tagline appears on screen.

The campaign breaks first in Boston, where JetBlue has the most daily nonstop flights of any carrier, and includes TV spots (running in 39 prime-time season premieres), online advertising, microsites, mobile, social, experiential and out-of-home advertising. Most intriguingly, JetBlue is also partnering with Mobile Theory on a voice activation unit that will teach consumers "how to speak pigeon on their smartphones."

There's also a digital experience and social hub called Central Perch, where you can send messages to friends through virtual carrier pigeons on Facebook. Meanwhile, check out the launch spot and credits below.

‘Grand Theft Auto V’ Debut Expected to Reap $1 Billion in One Month


“Grand Theft Auto V,” the video game featuring gangsters swimming with sharks, is forecast to generate $1 billion in sales in one month, four times the amount Take-Two Interactive Software spent to make it.

The title, five years in the making, cost as much as $250 million to develop and market, according to Sterne Agee & Leach. It hit stores today and may top the $900 million debut of its record-setting predecessor, estimates Colin Sebastian, an analyst with Robert W. Baird & Co.

“There’s a lot of anticipation for this game,” Mr. Sebastian said in an interview. “If the sell-through is disappointing at all, because it doesn’t break records or fit some other point of measurement, then it reflects on the broader industry’s fortunes.”

It’s Been 101 Years, but It’s Still Too Soon for Titanic Jokes in Advertising

Even though more than a century has passed since the Titanic sank, it's still too soon to joke about it in ads. Red Bull got in trouble for this ad hinting that the more than 1,500 people who drowned in April 1912 could have survived if they'd had the renowned energy drink aboard—because it "gives you wings." Don't worry. In Britain, the Ad Standards Authority was alerted, as 79 complaints have been lodged against the ad, including one from the Titanic Heritage Trust. Red Bull's slogan is OK—it's better than the more truthful "Red Bull tastes like mouthwash"—but maybe they shouldn't apply it to real historical disasters anymore. Go ahead and crumple up those Hindenburg sketches, fellas.

FTC Sets Sights on Native Advertising, But Outcome Unclear


When the Federal Trade Commission convenes its first workshop on native advertising this December, the government agency will be looking to learn about best practices and figure out whether consumers clearly recognize sponsored content as advertising. Digital publishers, for their part, will seek to assure the commission that they have the situation under control.

As native advertising continues to gain visibility, a debate is raging around whether publishers are making it clear to readers that the content they’re consuming is sponsored. Now, the governmental body tasked with promoting consumer protection is getting involved, and what happens from here is unclear.

The FTC announced Monday that it “will host a workshop on December 4, 2013 in Washington, DC to examine the practice of blending advertisements with news, entertainment, and other content in digital media.”

FedEx Thinks NFL Players Would Skip Games Just to Receive Packages

fedex_manager.png

For the past ten years, FedEx has been an official sponsor of the NFL. Previous ads focused on the brand’s sponsorship of the FedEx NFL Air & Ground Players of the Week. This year, FedEx, with help from BBDO New York, is shifting the focus of its football-themed spots to its new FedEx Delivery Manager product which allows customers more control over their package deliveries.

Two new spots, which debuted Sunday during NFL Football broadcasts, target NFL fans with silly but witty humor that squarely falls into the “you’re an idiot until you’re not” category.
