You might already know the reason if you are following me on &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/consumerisboss"&gt;twitter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; Yes, I am moving to Argentina. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I have always liked ads from Argentina and Spanish is my mother tongue so I thought these were two good reasons for me to eventually make that move. So I have decided to team up with an Argentinian Art Director that I met a while ago when traveling around Europe, and we have just finished our portfolio. We are obviously proud of the result, like every creative team is. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Now we have sent out the copies and some agencies are starting to contact us.

This would  only make him even more arrogant than he already is.

Brazil has always been an historical advertising country and just talk to any Brazilian and you will see that they are all passionate about advertising in general. This is definitely not the case in some European countries where working in Advertising is seen as evil. (i.e. France, without mentioning it ...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;So as said, this year number 1 agency was DDB Brasil and ALMAPBBDO Brasil (where the legendary Marcello Serpa works) was second. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I was writing this post, the most Brazilian of the non-Brazilians that I know (who happens to be a French guy with Israeli origins.

The reason for this is that I am actually involved with a new project which includes an internal communication's blog.

It already existed during the previous editions but this time it is open to the world through a partnership with Youtube.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The objective is to create a short viral ad in line with a given brief.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; The brief was given out last Friday at midnight (GMT) and the participants had 48 hours to upload a film on youtube. Now they have 2 weeks to make it go viral.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;We tried to participate with a few friends, but since a major event was happening outside of the city where we live and since the stores there only open on Saturday (and only until 6pm) our two original and best ideas were just too complicated to come to life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, when we were about to give out, we came out with this idea, involving the most spotted dead legend worldwide: Elvis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HxFg_RumKPI&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HxFg_RumKPI&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;So tell us what you think about it and please vote for us &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/canneslions"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;(Search: Violin)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-9046457065015229360?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/9046457065015229360/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=9046457065015229360' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/9046457065015229360'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/9046457065015229360'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2009/05/cannes-young-lions-48-hours-ad-contest.html' title='Cannes Young Lions 48 hours ad contest'/><author><name>Al</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02632579897971759070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://www.toshiromifune.org/images/lastsamurai/sanjuro4.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-294489763119175195</id><published>2009-04-15T16:44:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-15T16:58:12.763+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='buzz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='M83'/><title type='text'>M83 - We own the sky video contest</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;M83 (aka Anthony Gonzalez) is an electronica band from Antibes, France. To increase the buzz around its new single "We own the sky", M83 decided to launch a video contest for the song on youtube. The buzz around it was quite big. Actually, the demand was so big that the deadline was even pushed back.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The contest did reach its objective: I personnally never heard of M83 before and so did most of my friends who are now forwarding the video through facebook, twitter or their blog. Quite a good 2.0 PR operation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost forgot to tell you that the winner are Young Replicants, a teenage director's label and design collective from L.A.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rlMa5Wx8-eY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rlMa5Wx8-eY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-294489763119175195?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/294489763119175195/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=294489763119175195' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/294489763119175195'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/294489763119175195'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2009/04/m83-we-own-sky-video-contest.html' title='M83 - We own the sky video contest'/><author><name>Al</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02632579897971759070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://www.toshiromifune.org/images/lastsamurai/sanjuro4.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-1203288743731306161</id><published>2009-04-07T11:38:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-07T22:27:53.296+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Antwerpen Central Station'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='T-mobile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='VTM Network'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Flashmob'/><title type='text'>T-mobile copy?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;In one of my notes written in January, I posted a video of the now well-known &lt;a href="http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2009/01/t-mobile-dance.html"&gt;T-mobile Dance flashmob in Liverpool station&lt;/a&gt;. This ad was viral big time since it spread through the Internet, but was also used in traditional advertising too (TVC on British TV the next day). So it was a kind of surprise for me to see pretty much the same thing happening again and with such a big success... again!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;object height="295" width="480"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0UE3CNu_rtY&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0UE3CNu_rtY&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="295" width="480"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The 200 dancers in Antwerpen Central Station were promoting the Dutch TV version of “in search of Maria“, a BBC format, staged by the Belgian commercial VTM network.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;In my opinion, it is quite a bold bet to do this only a few months after T-Mobile's huge worldwide success. It is obviously not as successful as T-Mobile's flashmob, but it still works. Copying someone else's work is definitely not encouraged in the Advertising industry (Despite Luke Sullivan encouraging junior creatives to do this in his book "Hey Whipple, Squeeze this", as a start) but we have to admit that it can do its job in some situations. Two important things are needed though: the time factor (don't air it right after the original), and location (different market). Finally,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; it will also depend on the s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;ucess of THE ORIGINAL. As an example, I doubt a new "Gorilla ad" would work anywhere. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;In the case illustrated here, none of these variables are respected. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The debate about who was first is always a hot topic (just check the French website &lt;a href="http://www.joelapompe.net/"&gt;Joe la pompe&lt;/a&gt;, a database of "coincidences and/or copied work"). The fact that T-Mobile's idea is itself a copied from a flashmob "freeze" might give this new adaptation  a justification. Because in the end, the objective is to make people like it. And people don't seem to get tired of these flashmobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, if you think brand for a second, repeating someone else's idea might not be the best strategy (even just conceptually). Your brand needs to differentiate itself vs. other brands, and I don't believe copying someone else's work is the best way to achieve this objective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-1203288743731306161?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/1203288743731306161/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=1203288743731306161' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/1203288743731306161'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/1203288743731306161'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2009/04/t-mobile-copy.html' title='T-mobile copy?'/><author><name>Al</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02632579897971759070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://www.toshiromifune.org/images/lastsamurai/sanjuro4.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-7485304268472998308</id><published>2009-03-31T09:34:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-01T10:16:15.099+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Droga5'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Crispin Porter+Bogusky'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Heidi Klum'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Metallica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Guitar Hero'/><title type='text'>Guitar Hero - Metallica</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Last November, I posted a &lt;a href="http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/11/bike-hero.html"&gt;note&lt;/a&gt; talking about a viral for Guitar Hero made by Droga5.

He didn't find one that seemed legitimate so he hunted down a high-resolution digital image of a Coke can, uploaded it to Facebook and made a page. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Popularity a mystery&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the page grew. And grew. There are 253 pages on Facebook devoted to Coca-Cola, but for some reason, Mr. Sorg's page -- which he runs with his friend Michael Jedrzejewski, a writer -- took off. The guys weren't sure why theirs ended up with millions of fans -- Facebook fan pages, at least last year, were relatively static, and the guys said they had been pretty inactive on it as they got busy during the winter holidays. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; And most people can't actually do that much with branded page -- unless a brand is putting dollars behind it. Which Coke didn't. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; Coca-Cola still remains perplexed over why Messrs. Sorg and Jedrzejewski's page took off.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; "We've discussed a dozen hypotheses about why it took off," said Michael Donnelly, director of worldwide interactive marketing at Coca-Cola Co. One theory the company keeps coming back to, he said, was the quality of the photo -- a crisp, high-resolution image of a Coke can covered with a thin layer of condensation. "For us as marketers, luckily it was exactly right -- the can we had in the marketplace. ... It grabs you." He said another theory is that Messrs. Sorg and Jedrzejewski had very active, expressive "social graphs," i.e., their network of Facebook friends. But "we can't measure that," he said. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;table class="normal" style="margin: 4px 8px 8px 0pt; float: left; line-height: 120%; font-family: times new roman;" cellpadding="3" width="400"&gt;  &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="5" style="border-color: white; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 10px;"&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 6px; font-size: 140%; line-height: 133%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facebook Page Statistics -- Top Pages&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr valign="bottom"&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;# of Fans&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Daily Growth Rate&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Weekly Growth Rate&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr class="odd"&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;1&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Barack Obama&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;5,881,499&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;0.10%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;1.45%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;2&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Coca-Cola&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;3,287,101&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;0.19%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;2.93%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr class="odd"&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;3&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Nutells&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;3,052,502&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;0.18%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;2.98%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;4&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Pizza&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;3,005,922&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;0.20%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;3.52%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr class="odd"&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;5&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;2,730,570&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;0.23%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;3.93%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;6&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;kinder surprise&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;2,581,651&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;0.18%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;3.13%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr class="odd"&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;7&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Facebook&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;2,492,881&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;0.27%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;4.22%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;8&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Windows Live Messenger&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;2,469,402&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;0.13%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;2.75%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr class="odd"&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;9&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Sid&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;2,409,639&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;0.17%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;3.25%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;10&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Boo&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;2,343,221&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;0.20%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="right"&gt;3.95%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;   &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="5" style="font-size: 78%; text-align: right; padding-top: 4px;"&gt; &lt;div style="line-height: 133%;"&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.allfacebook.com/statistics/pages/" target="_blank"&gt;AllFacebook.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;   &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;   &lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Problems with the page&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the page picked up fans, it also racked up spam and obscene comments -- issues that can plague many large pages on the social network. In November, Facebook decided to start enforcing a policy that says anyone creating a branded Facebook "page" must be authorized by or associated with the brand. Independent Facebook users could still create homages to brands, but they must live as a "group" or fan club. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; "The problem was they had created a page, not a group," said Mr. Donnelly. Facebook made the decision to either close the page or let Coca-Cola take it over. Coca-Cola instead proposed an alternative: Let the creators keep the page but share it with a few of Coca-Cola's senior interactive folks. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; "We threw a variable to Facebook and said we're interested, but we'd rather walk away from it than have it be perceived that we caused this action," Mr. Donnelly said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; Over the December holidays, he got in touch with Messrs. Sorg and Jedrzejewski to explain to them that this was a Facebook-driven change, and asked if they'd want to join him in administering it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;A friendly approach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now normally when a giant multinational company calls a consumer about something the consumer has created in that company's brand name or image, it's not a good sign. And initially Mr. Jedrzejewski said he was worried about it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; "Everyone has this vision that if something like this happens, the big company will send you off to Guantanamo," he said. "This was exactly the opposite." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Coke instead flew the guys down to Atlanta for a few days of meetings, a tour of the World of Coke museum and a visit to the company's legendary archives. It was a friendly, not heavy-handed approach, Mr. Jedrzejewski said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; "We talked openly about ideas, the future of the fan page," he said.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; Coke's actions in sharing the page are indicative of not only the lessons the beverage giant has learned in the social-media space but also proof that big brands can tread gracefully in social media. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Coke's progress&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The company has come a long way. Its initial reaction to a Diet Coke-Mentos viral video sensation in 2006 was that the stunt didn't fit the brand's personality -- after all, people are meant to drink Diet Coke, not use it to make geysers. Now the company appears to be more at ease with its consumers creating content on its behalf -- and it's largely eschewed a destination-centric philosophy as it has recognized that its expressive fans are everywhere. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; Mr. Donnelly recounts how in the early days of the web, big marketers would define success by how much traffic came to their websites -- and they've only recently become comfortable with the fact they can deliver a message through gaming, rich video and other places across the web. The same thing happened in Second Life, when marketers busily built islands, or destinations, within the virtual world. And it's a natural tendency in social networking. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; "This page is a fan page and happens to be the biggest one, but we recognize that when you do a search you see 253," he said. And when it comes to communities, they recognize they need to ask advice, counsel and permission before engaging. "We don't want to be a big brand there doing big-brand advertising."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="rightrail_left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;     &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-5064322643468589375?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/5064322643468589375/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=5064322643468589375' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/5064322643468589375'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/5064322643468589375'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2009/03/coke-and-facebook.html' title='Coke and Facebook'/><author><name>Al</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02632579897971759070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://www.toshiromifune.org/images/lastsamurai/sanjuro4.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-3909439466257081382</id><published>2009-03-15T13:22:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-03-15T13:42:43.241+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Superbowl'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='monster.com'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='careerbuilder.com'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><title type='text'>On Holidays!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Dear Readers,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I will be spending the next 10 days in Spain for some well needed holidays.

I think the crisis is just increasing the speed of the transition towards digital advertising.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;"According to the Union of Belgian Advertisers and researchers Profact [as published on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: times new roman;" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/digimedia.be/nl/article.php?id_act=5265');" href="http://digimedia.be/nl/article.php?id_act=5265" target="_blank"&gt;Digimedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; (dutch)], there is no crisis on the Internet. According to this report, 90% of all advertisers said the crisis does impact the way they work and over 80% reduced their budgets by 10 to 20%. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Where it gets interesting, is where they are spending their money. 55% of all advertisers said they will spend less money on tv, newspaper, magazine, movie theater, radio and street ads. However, 37% of them said they are investing more in Internet advertising.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;On top of that, I also see a lot of interactive agencies looking to hire extra Flash designers and developers. This week alone, I saw at least 6 job openings across Europe on Twitter. I also received a couple of emails from agencies looking for people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;While talking to agencies at both FITC and FlashCamp UK last week, I found that this seems to be a common trend. Most of the people I talked to still had plenty of work but are expecting a cutback in marketing projects. Most of the people I talked to are planing on filling any gaps with research (looking into mobile development came up frequently) and diversifying their skill set.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Now, I may be completely wrong, but to me it sounds as if “the Internet” is doing ok at the moment.

Here is the first one from the L.A. based  Paranoid  Productions for Nike women, the ad agency is Wieden Kennedy Amsterdam. The 3-d work in this ad is quite impressive.

Am I the only one finding this viral not funny at all? Kobe Bryant might be the only interesting thing here.  On one side, there is too much branding in my opinion, which is killing the viral potential of this ad. I particularly find Kobe's statement near the end quite lame "Get these shoes, or get an ankle insurance". On the other side, the ad is using some nowadays sarcasm with nothing really new in it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;This ad entire strategy is clearly stated in the first paragraph of the website: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" &gt;Broken ankles can happen at anytime. Don't let your friends, loved ones or opponents suffer from slow game any longer. If your superior quickness has ever broken someone's ankles, don't just laugh at them.

So the decision making process is shortened , giving your craziest ideas more chances to survive the cut. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here is what AKQA is sending to its clients this year.

People tend to believe it is quite difficult to make an interesting ad out of such a boring product. I guess they are right. This is one of the reasons why I like this ad: taking the product benefit one step further, into emotional territory. This ad won a Cannes Lion in 2006.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/c6nJQi2i1ug&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/c6nJQi2i1ug&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The second one was made by the German Grabarz &amp;amp; Partners for the Volkswagen Phaeton. Great work on this very creative idea. I would like to add that the post-production work was made by Deli pictures. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dH9uzC_de6o&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dH9uzC_de6o&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-5551522461089837457?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/5551522461089837457/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=5551522461089837457' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/5551522461089837457'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/5551522461089837457'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/12/ariston-and-volkswagen.html' title='Ariston and Volkswagen'/><author><name>Al</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02632579897971759070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://www.toshiromifune.org/images/lastsamurai/sanjuro4.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-2359189770131353323</id><published>2008-11-27T14:27:00.007+01:00</published><updated>2008-11-27T15:07:24.728+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sid Lee'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Adidas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Left and Right project'/><title type='text'>Adidas Originals - House Party</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;We all remember the buzz around &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo2e0SPbi_8" target="blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;left and right project&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; where two US design crews representing the East and the West coast were respectively given a giant left or right blank Adidas Original shoe for them to decorate.

Actually, two ads since an invitation video to that House Party was available on youtube a few days before.

Here is another entertaining one for Nokia starring Bruce Lee. It is for a limited edition Nokia phone that comes with a doll, rare photos and a nunchaku. It will be sold in Hong Kong. The comments around the Web remind us that Bruce Lee is still seen today as coming from another planet. I am quite doubtful concerning ping pong balls not being blown up by a nunchaku hit, and yet people keep asking if this is real or not...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Another question remains: Would Mr. Lee be proud of this?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I would! but that's just me...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To see the viral, &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpJAxqD6jiY&amp;amp;e" target="blank"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-5536853924059435424?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/5536853924059435424/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=5536853924059435424' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/5536853924059435424'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/5536853924059435424'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/11/nokia-n96-bruce-lee-ping-pong.html' title='Nokia N96 - Bruce Lee Ping Pong'/><author><name>Al</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02632579897971759070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://www.toshiromifune.org/images/lastsamurai/sanjuro4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/SSrGhLC5Y8I/AAAAAAAAANQ/toSoXiFaa6A/s72-c/nokia-n96-bruce-lee-accessories.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-3457014549526858623</id><published>2008-11-20T15:48:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2008-11-20T16:24:25.207+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Droga5'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Guitar Hero'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='viral'/><title type='text'>Bike Hero</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/SSWAcYZYKhI/AAAAAAAAAMo/FlTTKDJ7aus/s1600-h/guitar_hero_iv_to_incorporate_more_instruments_voc_400x301.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/SSWAcYZYKhI/AAAAAAAAAMo/FlTTKDJ7aus/s320/guitar_hero_iv_to_incorporate_more_instruments_voc_400x301.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270760163980618258" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Fresh Viral from Droga5 for Guitar Hero World Tour.

You gotta love some of the lines in this ad, no wonder mums got angry! i.e. "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Supposedly it's a real bonding experience,&lt;/span&gt;" the announcer says over catchy graphics. "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;It totally makes me look like an official mom&lt;/span&gt;."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't mess with mums!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the controversial ad:  &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mztymu72l7c&amp;amp;e" target="blank"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some of the reactions from irritated mums: &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhR-y1N6R8Q&amp;amp;e" target="blank"&gt;click here &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-4047098886178899999?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/4047098886178899999/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=4047098886178899999' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/4047098886178899999'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/4047098886178899999'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-to-make-mums-angry.html' title='How to make mums angry'/><author><name>Al</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02632579897971759070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://www.toshiromifune.org/images/lastsamurai/sanjuro4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/SSPbruS5wJI/AAAAAAAAAMg/UINd0SLh50U/s72-c/Motrin.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-3301464283203240362</id><published>2008-11-17T11:27:00.007+01:00</published><updated>2008-12-12T11:56:48.913+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Toshiba'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Grey'/><title type='text'>Toshiba Timesculpture</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;First of all, as you've been able to see, we've been through a few visual modifications here at consumer is boss. I hope the transformations will make your visit more pleasant. I'd like to thank Sebastien from the &lt;a href="http://www.bulko.net/" target="blank"&gt;Bulko &lt;/a&gt;team for the cool new banner. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Last week I watched the new Toshiba ad. Even if I don't get the message immediately (or maybe not at all), the technique used is so amazing that it instantaneously gives me a better image of the brand.

Big news is that I moved back to Geneva after a short copywriting assignment in the coolest agency in Bordeaux:  &lt;a href="http://www.bulko.net/" target="blank"&gt;Bulko&lt;/a&gt; . Met some really creative people there and it was  great to see how work gets done in a smaller structure. The team was very professional and full of energy and I will definitely come back for a visit (Wine testing and some surfing also included in the plan).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I am now going through a placement for Saatchi &amp;amp; Saatchi Simko in Geneva. It is great to be working as a copywriter again and the briefs are very interesting. I will keep you posted on how it will go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enough about me. Today, just a quick link to a truly clever MoveOn gimmick that allows Obama's supporters to customize the video and convince their friends to vote. &lt;a href="http://www.cnnbcvideo.com/?nid=Wz2AHK38cQZQxWzXuJEMnDkwOTI2NzY-&amp;amp;referred_by=14760522-_U_mt2x" target="blank"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's always funnier once we're sure it's not going to happen...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-551717692198659439?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/551717692198659439/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=551717692198659439' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/551717692198659439'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/551717692198659439'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/11/back-in-town-obama-08.html' title='Back in town &amp; Obama 08'/><author><name>Al</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02632579897971759070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://www.toshiromifune.org/images/lastsamurai/sanjuro4.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-109622985884737831</id><published>2008-07-11T14:23:00.007+02:00</published><updated>2008-07-11T15:10:53.753+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='American Express'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tina Fey'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ogilvy and Mather'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Scorsese'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><title type='text'>American Express : Airport Lounge</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.graduatefinance.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/american-express-platinum.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.graduatefinance.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/american-express-platinum.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Hey there ! Long time no see.. Oh you know, life.. But let me make it up to you with this funny ad from Ogilvy &amp;amp; Mather. In this ad you will find all the elements of a great spot. You have an edgy script, good acting, a 60's-70's feel and of course Martin "Marty" Scorsese in the credits. What more can you ask for? To understand the spot and where American Express wants to take us, the script answers a question we all asked ourselves when you're used to travel in coach: "What's so special about the business lounge?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only there Tina Fey (30 Rock) needs to get in there so she could talk with Scorsese as it was her, quote: "only chance to get kicked to death in a movie" (laughs). Then as she flashed her AE card she finally got in. All this to remind us that with the platinum card you can access over 160 airports lounge just by flashing it. Next, you see a "are you a cardmember ?" sign appearing on your screen. For my account I'll admit that I was more interestied in seeing how the plot would unravel. Hey, everyone has their priorities (laughs).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=xFU4-dV6QJU" target="blank"&gt;link&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-109622985884737831?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/109622985884737831/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=109622985884737831' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/109622985884737831'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/109622985884737831'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/07/american-express-airport-lounge.html' title='American Express : Airport Lounge'/><author><name>Reggie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05357017308731462226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-5906471528857417335</id><published>2008-06-29T15:09:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2008-07-11T15:10:41.455+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Villarosas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nike'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><title type='text'>Nike : Los 5 Magnificos</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wcoomd.org/files/2.%20Event%20files/Images/Misc%20Logos/nike_logo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.wcoomd.org/files/2.%20Event%20files/Images/Misc%20Logos/nike_logo.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The conclusion of Eurofoot 2008 is upon us. Tonight we will know which country of Germany or Spain will take the trophy home. However, during the tournament there was also another competition waging betweens the teams' sponsors, Nike &amp;amp; Adidas. Analysts gave the edge to Adidas considering both finalists are equiped by them. But, we'll see how Nike gets by with the ad I'm about to present to you. In the ad called "Los 5 Magnificos" or "The 5 Magnificents", we see 5 star players from the spanish national side, (in order of appearence: Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas, Carles Puyol, Sergio Ramos and Fernando Torres) writting on their torsos the survey results on why Spain's hasn't won an official competition in 44 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The element that makes this spot so bold is that, it forces Nike to take a stance in who's going to win the Final. If Spain wins, people will salute the vision of the ad and of Nike officials for coming up with the idea. If they lose, well it will still be a great commercial but just betting on the wrong side. For the anecdote, the ad is a product of the agency Villarosas. I personnaly think it's time for Spain to deliever the goods and bring home the silverware. I mean let's face it, we don't know when they'll be back at that stage of a competition, so they might as well make the most of it (laughs).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Neovn7xmisE" target="blank"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;, Viva España ! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-5906471528857417335?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/5906471528857417335/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=5906471528857417335' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/5906471528857417335'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/5906471528857417335'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/06/nike-los-5-magnificos.html' title='Nike : Los 5 Magnificos'/><author><name>Reggie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05357017308731462226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-8765277225369738568</id><published>2008-06-23T12:10:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2008-06-23T13:26:07.631+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='VCCP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Binge Boy/Girl'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Home Office'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><title type='text'>Home Office : Binge Boy/Girl</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JkD0Cbkd3JM/SF-Ba7j2xXI/AAAAAAAAAA0/PbEVaeOBMVU/s1600-h/preview_320_260_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215029193182987634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JkD0Cbkd3JM/SF-Ba7j2xXI/AAAAAAAAAA0/PbEVaeOBMVU/s320/preview_320_260_1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Party people this ad is for you. Apparently, the british government was trying for a while to communicate with young adults on drinking habits. With that goal in mind, they came up with the Binge Boy/Girl campaign. The ads are products of the &lt;em&gt;VCCP&lt;/em&gt; agency. First, you see a girl (in the female version) getting ready to go out. But quickly, something seems odd. She rips a her clothes open. Puke in the sink then generously spread some in her hair. Messes up her makeup. Now, if you first view this commercial having never heard about it, you're a little startled. I mean, you wonder, why would someone voluntarily inflect himself so much abuse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The answer is given when the ad draws to a close, as you read : "You wouldn't start a night like this so why end it that way ?". The concept made me smile but more importantly it also made me think. Everyone had a wild night once that they never expected would be so out of control. I mean, we all want to party but, down the line, we all expect to make it in one piece or at least, clean enough to be able to head to our room unnoticed (laughs). Since I first saw the "girl" version, I then went on to watch the "male" one. And, to be honest, when the guy caught the closetdoor in his face I kinda expected it to happen. Otherwise it just wouldn't have been credible (laughs).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Here's the link to the &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z_4rlb3GN2A" target="blank"&gt;female&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=botzKF4eZgY" target="blank"&gt;male&lt;/a&gt; version.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-8765277225369738568?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/8765277225369738568/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=8765277225369738568' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/8765277225369738568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/8765277225369738568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/06/home-office-binge-boygirl.html' title='Home Office : Binge Boy/Girl'/><author><name>Reggie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05357017308731462226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JkD0Cbkd3JM/SF-Ba7j2xXI/AAAAAAAAAA0/PbEVaeOBMVU/s72-c/preview_320_260_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-3002216741465765453</id><published>2008-06-11T11:39:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2008-06-15T14:17:26.287+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Crest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Saatchi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><title type='text'>Crest : Bulldozer/Lice/Pre-nup</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51YYW5WFSAL._SL500_AA280_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51YYW5WFSAL._SL500_AA280_.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; It's been a while since I came up with something to show you guys, but I guess I was looking for something inspiring. And I think I found that. The question I'm asking you is, can we get away with giving bad news while having a smile on our face on? Could you look someone in the eyes and tell him he's dying while smiling at him, hoping he'll take it well. I think we're all looking to avoid guilt, but what if I told you the secret was brushing your teeth with Crest, giving the news and putting a pearly white smile on? Seriously, what if it was that easy ? Some serious brand image enhancement.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Come on, guys be honest. I bet there will be at least one of you, who'll try it out on his girlfriend tonight (laughs). "Honey, I'm dumping you (aaannnd smile)..". The commercial is the product of Saatchi &amp;amp; Saatchi New-York. In the "Bulldozer" plotline, we see a bunch of kids talking to a construction worker in a bulldozer about to demolish their playground. As he sees the mob of kids interrogating him he punctuates each answers with a smile. At some point the smile apparently convinces the kids that a power station would be a cool place to play in. The concept is very well supported by the acting which ultimately makes it a fun ad to watch.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Here's the &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=ncCq6uSMK1U" target="blank"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;. I'll also give you the links of two alternate versions. &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=D9V2AF4vKhk" target="blank"&gt;First&lt;/a&gt;, where a guy annonces to his girlfriend that he gave her lice by bringing home a pillow from the streets. And &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=t_SRRD81kmo" target="blank"&gt;second&lt;/a&gt;, a rich man surprises his fiance with a pre-nup and his lawyer. Like the copywriter says "you can say anything with a smile".

The first one, with online content, virals, PR, and ambient marketing aimed at preparing the field for the second wave that included the TV ad.

Freeze time, rewind and relive the moment that took your breath away. Orange, through the agency Publicis Conseil, made it happen in their latest ad. The plot develops in Goa, India. A young lady looks away with a sadden look. A man, seeing this, gives the word for the whole town to rewind the scene. If only it was that simple. So vehicules shift into reverse-gear, pedestrians walk back and painters repaint the original colors. However, the girl is still sad, until a bus stop in front of her. Passengers come off backwards and we can see her face lighting up as, who we can guess is, her boyfriend gets off the bus and kisses her passionatly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea was to draw a parallel with Orange's "TV on demand" service. But getting back on the spot, I was really charmed by the concept having been an extra once and as I was watching this I was telling to myself "man, those extras must have had a rough day" (laugh). To get everyone to have the right timing and also making sure it looks realistic and natural was a real coup for which we can thank the director, Ringan Ledwidge, for. Great commercial when you realise that the concept itself is not really that innovative, yet the creative director was subtle enough to introduce it with flair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the &lt;a href="http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=kIY3-ECJQlg" target="blank"&gt;link&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-3751438726239915208?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/3751438726239915208/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=3751438726239915208' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/3751438726239915208'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/3751438726239915208'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/05/orange-rewind-city.html' title='Orange : Rewind City'/><author><name>Reggie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05357017308731462226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-2066558773874015342</id><published>2008-05-29T16:40:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-30T10:43:06.610+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Red Cross'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Grand Prix Romand de la Création'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Saatchi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Amnesty International'/><title type='text'>Score for the Red Cross - Euro 2008</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/SD7HPt_OyuI/AAAAAAAAAIk/7u7paRyLs3Q/s1600-h/flyer_redcross.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/SD7HPt_OyuI/AAAAAAAAAIk/7u7paRyLs3Q/s200/flyer_redcross.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205817292143643362" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(85, 26, 139); text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gprc.ch/"&gt;Le Grand prix romand de la création&lt;/a&gt; s'est déroulé hier soir à Genève.

Effectivement, je vais vous parler de musique. Le buzz du moment nous vient de MGMT (à lire: management), un groupe de Brooklyn complètement anachronique. Avec eux ont vit un remake de 1968 à la sauce contemporaine. Leur clip pour &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;time to pretend &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;illustre très bien l'univers dans lequel ils nous font voyager: un univers psychédélique où l'on vit très rapidement mais intensément, accompagné par des chats cosmiques et des petites pillules de toutes les couleurs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Ce qui m'a frappé dans ce groupe c'est la campagne de communication accompagnant la sortie de leur premier album &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;spectacular oracular.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Tout d'abord l'énorme &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;word of mouth &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;que j'ai pu tester ici à Londres et qui leur a valu une place dans le top 10 des groupes à observer dans &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Rolling Stone Magazine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; 1968 est une époque qui plaît toujours, surtout dans certains milieux très &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;hype&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;. Leur vidéo sur Youtube complètement glam-psychédélique pour &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;time to pretend &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;(presque 2 millions de visiteurs à ce jour!) a fortement contribué à ce phénomène. Ensuite, leur website reflète également très bien l'esprit du duo et est vraiment intéressant et fun à visiter. Il invite à ouvrir votre esprit à leur &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Multi-dimensional vibrating technicolor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Bref, même si je ne suis pas complètement fan du genre, c'est le buzz autour du groupe que je trouve très intéressant.

Pour souligner l'évènement la marque décida de vanter les mérites de son joujou à travers un spot ingénieux. Usant de plus de 70'000 photos faites par 10 photographes, cette pub nous ramène a l'essence même de la photographie. Comme la voix-off nous le dit à la fin, la photographie est un voyage, comment allez-vous vous souvenir du trajet. Il y a des moments dans la vie que nous voulons immortaliser. Comme si nous voulions garder avec nous un morceau d'histoire. Cette pub fait un parallèle avec le football américain en commençant avec le père qui joue avec son fils dans le jardin, jusqu'à la NFL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Chaque moment est mémorable à sa façon. Pour la petite histoire la création de cette publicité revient à l'agence Grey, New-York. Vous en apprécierez la qualité mais en passant j'ai une petite anecdote pour vous. Saviez-vous que ce spot, devant promouvoir le Rebel XSi, n'a pas été réalisé avec cette appareil ? Eh oui, apparemment des 1D III's ont été utilisés. Certains vous diront que l'essentiel s'est que l'appareil soit vendu. Oui d'accord, mais la qualité n'a-t-ellle pas sa propre voix ? Comment juger de la qualité d'un produit si son vendeur n'en fait même pas usage ?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Bon en même temps si on ne me l'avait pas dit, je n'y aurais vu que du feu. Alors disons qu'au final c'est de bonne guerre.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Voici le &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAxy5Zn7Ptk" target="blank"&gt;lien&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-173841928138176385?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/173841928138176385/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=173841928138176385' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/173841928138176385'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/173841928138176385'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/05/canon-journey.html' title='Canon : Journey'/><author><name>Reggie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05357017308731462226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-3597622263425581390</id><published>2008-05-20T15:42:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-30T21:41:24.165+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Guy Ritchie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='72andSunny'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nike'/><title type='text'>Nike : The Next Level</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.uksoccershop.com/images/nike_logo-400-400.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www.uksoccershop.com/images/nike_logo-400-400.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Fan de football ceci est pour vous. Nike en collaboration avec l'agence 72andSunny vous propose d'élever votre niveau de jeu. Ce spot relate le parcours d'un petit prodige du ballon rond, de ses débuts dans son club amateur, au prestigieux club anglais d'Arsenal jusqu'à sa sélection en équipe nationale Hollandaise. Tout cela en "in-camera", s'il vous plaît. Cette technique vous plonge tête première dans l'action. Le casting en lui-même, fait rêver. Arsène Wenger, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.. Tout est mis en place pour apporter du réalisme au spot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A la réalisation on retrouve, Guy Ritchie (qui a notamment réalisé le film mythique "Snatch"). Tout au long du parcours du joueur on peut voir apparaître les valeurs défendues par Nike, à savoir la détermination, la compétitivité et le dépassement de soi.

Il est normal de se poser ce genre de question, surtout après avoir visité le site de Joe. N'y a-t'il donc plus rien à inventer? Je remarque que les pubs les plus distinctives trouvent souvent leur concept de base grace à une nouvelle avancée technologique. Par exemple, dernièrement quelqu'un a développé un software qui permettait aisément de reproduire une foule à l'écran, sans pour autant recruter une centaine de figurants sur le lieu du tournage. Comme résultat on a eu droit pendant des mois à divers spots avec des gens qui font un &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoFTRFJNkK0"&gt;pont&lt;/a&gt;, des gens &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZB7GeeBcHA&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;passionés de bowling&lt;/a&gt;, ou encore des &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSbb9U6GPXE"&gt;gens qui nous font un hommage à Mai 68&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Vous voulez parier sur la prochaine technologie utilisée dans la pub? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-3709787813768068315?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/3709787813768068315/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=3709787813768068315' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/3709787813768068315'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/3709787813768068315'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/05/enzym-lefax.html' title='Enzym Lefax'/><author><name>Al</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02632579897971759070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://www.toshiromifune.org/images/lastsamurai/sanjuro4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/SDGgxcWkrjI/AAAAAAAAAIM/vQz-owv7JI0/s72-c/peptolaundry.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-8092103445260699740</id><published>2008-05-19T11:59:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2008-12-16T10:40:37.067+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Against All Odds'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Coca-Cola'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Coke Zero'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Wieden + Kennedy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Coke'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Passion Pictures'/><title type='text'>Coke Zero : Senses</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.advertolog.com/files/paedia/reel/part_51/510712/preview_320_260_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.advertolog.com/files/paedia/reel/part_51/510712/preview_320_260_1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"The real coke taste, zero sugar". A la recherche d'un nouveau spot à vous présenter je suis tombé sur cette campagne de Coca-Cola. En résumé, l'idée de cette campagne, réalisé par Wieden/Kennedy, était de mettre en scène le débat des sens au sujet du "Coca-Cola Zero". En casting on retrouve, l'oeil, les langues, le doigt et même le cerveau. Chaque sens reconnaît le Coke Zero à sa manière. L'oeil voit que c'est du coke zero, alors que les langues pensent que c'est du coca normal à cause de son goût. Le doigt, lui, ne sert à rien car quand il touche la bouteille il pense que c'est du coca normal puisque la bouteille est là même.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entre en scène le cerveau qui fait taire les débats en menaçant les sens . L'idée est extrêmement originale et raffinée. Les images de synthèse ont été réalisé par les studios Passion Pictures et Against All Odds. Chacun choisira son camp mais, en ce qui me concerne, il y a une différence entre le coca normal et le coca zero. Oui, j'adore polémiquer. Coca-Cola is better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voici les liens : &lt;a href="http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=PGCIBcYrvRE" target="blank"&gt;Coke Zero : Liar&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=2L6wh-Ufvro&amp;amp;feature=related" target="blank"&gt;"Coke Zero : Can't Drink&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=gFNKS172tmI" target="blank"&gt;Coke Zero : Finger&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=_OSBUfNBeJk" target="blank"&gt;Coke Zero : Brain&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-8092103445260699740?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/8092103445260699740/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=8092103445260699740' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/8092103445260699740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/8092103445260699740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/05/coke-zero-senses.html' title='Coke Zero : Senses'/><author><name>Reggie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05357017308731462226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-8538761106300290261</id><published>2008-05-16T10:05:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-16T10:28:24.057+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='levi&apos;s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BBH'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><title type='text'>Levi's : Dangerous Liaisons</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://cgnews.com/images/articles02/mill_levis_art2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://cgnews.com/images/articles02/mill_levis_art2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Deux amants se retrouvant dans un appartement pour partager leur amour, traversent les génération de la mode en se déshabillant. Tel est la trame de ce spot réalisé par l'agence BBH pour son client, Levi's. Cette pub se devait d'être une célébration de loa marque à travers les générations ainsi qu'une introduction pour sa nouvelle collection commercialisée. L'idée était simple mais encore fallait-il répondre à une des exigeances du client concernant le jeu des acteurs. Levi's voulait que la complicité des amants crèvent l'écran. Celle-ci devait répresenter le côté coquin et sexy de la marque. Et tout cela en préservant son authenticité. Une recherche détaillé a donc du être faite concernant les différents accoutrements pour que l'époque présentée soit tout de suite reconnaissable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Des années "sixties" aux années disco, en passant par les années 80, chacune de ses époques avait son propre style accompagné de l'orientation Levi's qu'on leur attribua. Au final, on découvre un spot plutôt bien ficellé qui a été primé plusieurs fois dont tout récemment aux "Creativity Awards 2008". A noté que 2 autres pubs que nous vous avions présenté sur ce blog, "Whooper Freakout" et "Skittles : Touch" ont également été récompensé.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Voici le &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARhMqxRr1uE" target="blank"&gt;lien&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-8538761106300290261?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/8538761106300290261/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=8538761106300290261' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/8538761106300290261'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/8538761106300290261'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/05/levis-dangerous-liaisons.html' title='Levi&apos;s : Dangerous Liaisons'/><author><name>Reggie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05357017308731462226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-5116973724298552377</id><published>2008-05-12T14:45:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-12T15:36:47.562+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Zig'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NHL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Molson Canadian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><title type='text'>Molson : The Code</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.eriepasportfishingassoc.com/2007tour/images/logos/MolsonCanadian.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.eriepasportfishingassoc.com/2007tour/images/logos/MolsonCanadian.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Nous sommes en Mai. Comme tous bons Canadiens qui se respectent je suis religieusement les playoffs de la NHL. Naturellement, tout le monde sait que le Hockey est une religion au pays du caribou. Au Canada, le seul produit aussi populaire que le hockey est la bière et notamment la Molson Canadian. Pendant des années cette brasserie s'appuyait essentiellement sur des publicité basique et un message des plus patriotique "I Am Canadian" (voire ce &lt;a href="http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=BRI-A3vakVg" target="blank"&gt;spot&lt;/a&gt;). Molson Canadian a donc toujours été vu comme LA bière nationale. Il y a un mois, la marque décida de faire le pas de plus en créant la campagne "The Code" (réaliséee par l'agence Zig, Toronto). Ce code regroupe supposément les règles non-écrites que suivent tous canadiens qui se respectent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Etant Canadien moi-même, j'ai voulu vérifié la véracité de ses règles et ils se trouvent que je connaissais la plupart d'entres elles. Après il existe 2 spots pour cette campagne. Le premier est plutôt universelle et peut être relatif à n'importe quelle personne de n'importe quelle origine mais pour le second, si vous n'êtes pas adeptes de hockey, certaines règles vous sembleront tirées par les cheveux (et pourtant j'avoue suivre en moyenne règle sur deux de ce spot mdr). Ce n'est pas un hasard que cette campagne sortent exactement au même moment que se passe les séries éliminatoires de NHL et le championnat du monde de Hockey outre-atlantique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comme on dit en anglais "timing is everything". Ne soyez pas étonné si durant l'Euro vous aurez l'impression que toutes les marques mettront un ballon de football ou le mot "foot" quelque part dans leur spot. Chacun cherchera à prendre un part du gâteau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vous trouverez ici le lien du premier &lt;a href="http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=plCgrspcAAY&amp;amp;feature=related" target="blank"&gt;spot&lt;/a&gt; et là celui du &lt;a href="http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=1Hr3FUsATHs&amp;amp;feature=related" target="blank"&gt;deuxième&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-5116973724298552377?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/5116973724298552377/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=5116973724298552377' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/5116973724298552377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/5116973724298552377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/05/molson-code.html' title='Molson : The Code'/><author><name>Reggie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05357017308731462226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-1601627222675631100</id><published>2008-05-01T15:11:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-01T16:15:23.261+02:00</updated><title type='text'>The New HIT Tv Show : "Scarlet"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/media/2008/04/4-29-08-scarlet-tv.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.engadgethd.com/media/2008/04/4-29-08-scarlet-tv.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;D'accord aujourd'hui j'ai envi de lancer un petit débat. Tout d'abord, je vais vous demander de regarder cette &lt;a href="http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=SIJSN2wbnMc&amp;amp;eurl=http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/lg-pushes-scarlet-lcd-hdtvs-with-completely-unrelated-commercial/" target="blank"&gt;publicité&lt;/a&gt;. C'est fait ? D'accord, maintenant réagissez! Quel est le produit cible ? Est-ce une série ? Est-ce une publicité? Si oui, qu'est-ce qu'on essait de nous vendre ? Personnellement, j'ai regardé ce spot pour la première fois tout à l'heure et j'ai tout de suite compris que ce n'était pas une série (principalement à cause de mon obsession pour la différence entre les lentilles utilisées durant les films, les séries et les spots publicitaires) mais ne comprenait pas l'intérêt de créer une fausse série. Après coup, je me suis renseigné sur la sujet et c'est à ce moment que j'ai compris l'ingéniosité de cette manoeuvre marketing. Cette campagne a été élaborée par LG Electronics, pour promouvoir leur nouvelle gamme d'écrans nommée.."Scarlet".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La méthode utilisée est non-conventionelle mais le résultat final est le même que pour une publicité classique (il suffit de la regarder attentivement). L'idée de la campagne était de créer un faux buzz autour d'une nouvelle série intitulée, "Scarlet". Les créatifs cherchaient simplement à attirer l'attention du consommateurs sans lui expliquer pourquoi. En réalité, une fois qu'on se renseigne on découvre que la campagne doit promouvoir les écrans. Et si vous en posséder déjà un, le spot vous permettra d'apprécier la qualité de l'image. Veuillez noter, qu'on retrouve David Nutter à la réalisation (créateur des Sorpranos notamment). Aujourd'hui, le site "creativity-online.com" demandait à ses lecteurs de donner leurs avis sur le spot et moi de mon côté, je vous demanderais d'en faire autant. Qu'est-ce qui vous a plus ou déplu dans l'approche utilisée?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonne fête du travail ! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-1601627222675631100?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/1601627222675631100/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=1601627222675631100' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/1601627222675631100'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/1601627222675631100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/05/new-hit-tv-show-scarlet.html' title='The New HIT Tv Show : &quot;Scarlet&quot;'/><author><name>Reggie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05357017308731462226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-9137218526038199530</id><published>2008-04-28T18:21:00.012+02:00</published><updated>2008-04-30T18:14:25.268+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ireland/Davenport'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Print'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barska'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Afrique du Sud'/><title type='text'>Barska-Putting the King back into Stalking</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/SBia0rWnR4I/AAAAAAAAAG0/XDWqa8VO0D4/s1600-h/Barska1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/SBia0rWnR4I/AAAAAAAAAG0/XDWqa8VO0D4/s200/Barska1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195072399953315714" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/SBiU7bWnR3I/AAAAAAAAAGs/hrKLfeMReh4/s200/Barska2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195065918847666034" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Le plus dur lorsque l'on crée une bonne pub ce n'est pas forcément de trouver une bonne idée. Je pense honnêtement que la plus grande difficulté est de trouver un client qui soit d'accord de suivre le créatif dans son concept. Oui, je dois l'admettre, ayant été moi-même client auparavant, je dois avouer qu'il faut parfois être très courageux pour suivre et approuver tout ce qu'un créa aura à vous présenter. Mais lorsque une synergie se produit entre les deux, on a le droit à de vrais petits bijoux. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Voici un brillant exemple qui nous vient tout droit d'Afrique du Sud, par l'agence Ireland/Davenport. Il fallait quand même oser l'approche "voyeur professionel" pour cette marque de jumelles!!! J'aime beaucoup aussi la forme de ce print. On est de retour aux années des longs copy qui intégraient subtilement le bénéfice produit. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Quant à savoir si ce print fera vendre plus de jumelles auprès des non-voyeurs et autres non-rôdeurs... Ca tout le monde s'en fout n'est-ce pas?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Cliquez sur les images pour avoir un agrandissement (et ainsi pouvoir lire les textes...) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-9137218526038199530?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/9137218526038199530/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=9137218526038199530' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/9137218526038199530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/9137218526038199530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/04/barska-putting-king-back-into-stalking.html' title='Barska-Putting the King back into Stalking'/><author><name>Al</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02632579897971759070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://www.toshiromifune.org/images/lastsamurai/sanjuro4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/SBia0rWnR4I/AAAAAAAAAG0/XDWqa8VO0D4/s72-c/Barska1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-921512824630976305</id><published>2008-04-28T14:57:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-01T15:11:24.129+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='levi&apos;s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michel Gondry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><title type='text'>Levi's : Drugstore</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.michelgondry.com/images/Pub/Ban-Drugstore.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce weekend j'ai vu le film "Be Kind Rewind" de Michel Gondry. J'en suis sorti tellement inspiré que je me devais absolument de lui rendre hommage d'une façon où d'une autre. Alors, après avoir parcouru son registre audiovisuel j'ai décidé de vous présenter une de ses publicités les plus connus. A vrai dire, j'ai découvert qu'elle figurait dans le livre des records Guiness comme la publicité ayant été la plus récompensée de l'histoire. En effet, elle gagna un Lion D'Or à Cannes, un Gold and Clio award, trois silvers aux D&amp;amp;AD awards et un autre prix aux British Television Advertising Awards (meilleure campagne).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Pour ceux qui ne le connaîtraient pas, Michel Gondry est un réalisateur français. Il a notamment réalisé un grand nombre de vidéoclips et de publicités, avant de passer au cinéma où il gagna l'oscar du meilleur scénario pour &lt;em&gt;Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. &lt;/em&gt;Gondry travailla avec des artistes de grandes renommées tel que les Rolling Stones, Björk, The White Stripes ou encore The Chemical Brothers. Il est également le pionnier de plusieurs techniques de filmage (par exemple: le Morphing) qu'il perfectionnait à travers ses publicités ou vidéoclips.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et donc ce spot pour Levi's a été réalisé en 1994. L'histoire se passe à l'époque de la Grande Dépression aux Etats-Unis. Un jeune homme va chez un pharmacien pour y acheter des préservatifs. Il se rend ensuite chez sa petite amie pour aller la chercher. Je ne vous en dirai pas plus, à vous d'admirer la subtilité du message. Cela dit, il existe aussi une version féminine de cette pub (que j'essaierai de trouver un de ces 4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Voici le &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=Uj6G1C6c0uw&amp;amp;feature=related" target="blank"&gt;lien&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-921512824630976305?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/921512824630976305/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=921512824630976305' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/921512824630976305'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/921512824630976305'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/04/levis-drugstore.html' title='Levi&apos;s : Drugstore'/><author><name>Reggie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05357017308731462226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-6344551389350954598</id><published>2008-04-18T08:56:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-04-18T09:26:14.242+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Post'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shreddies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Diamond Shreddies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><title type='text'>Shreddies : Diamond Shreddies</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/434/diamondshreddies1740770wl0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/434/diamondshreddies1740770wl0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Le spot, que je vais vous présenter, nous vient de Toronto, au Canada. Il a été créé par l'agence Ogilvy &amp;amp; Mather et est tout simplement épatant. Pour résumer rapidement le contexte, Shreddies est une marque du groupe alimentaire Kraft. Ce groupe contient plusieurs autres produits donc pour cette campagne l'idée était de revitaliser l'image de Shreddies. Initialement, les créatifs comptaient simplement revoir le design de la boite. Ils demandèrent alors à un stagiaire nommé Hunter Somerville de revoir l'arrière de la boite. Celui-ci pour faire rire ses collègues s'amusa à créer un arrière de boite qui faisait penser à un tout nouveau produit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;C'est ainsi que l'idée d'une campagne pour "Diamond" Shreddies est né. En fait, les Shreddies sont carrés or un diamant est un losange. Ai-je vraiment besoin de préciser qu'un losange peut aussi être un carré ? Eh bien c'est le pari qu'ont pris les dirigeants de la marque en espérant que ce lancement fictif serait compris par les consommateurs. Pour que le buzz fonctionne ils n'ont pas lésiné sur les moyens. L'équipe Marketing a fait en sorte que tout soit en mis en place au niveau de la communication pour faire croire à un tout nouveau produit alors qu'au fond c'est tout bêtement le même produit, vu d'un autre angle. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Ce concept pouvait être suffisamment accrocheur pour regagner l'intérêt des consommateurs pendant un moment. Le spot est donc basé sur les focus group qu'ont organisé les créatifs pour présenter le produit aux futurs clients. Ce qu'il faut noter (et c'est ce qui rend cette pub géniale), c'est que les participants au focus group ne sont pas des acteurs. Ils sont de vrais personnes à qui on a expliqué après coup la blague qui leur a été faite. Le but étant qu'on voulait vraiment tester leur nerfs. Et ça a marché, les participants ont bien pris la chose et extrêmement bien joué le jeu (sans s'en rendre compte).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Voici le &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=BOuC5jjTZOI" target="blank"&gt;lien&lt;/a&gt;, et aussi celui de la &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=RBayzdlsMQQ" target="blank"&gt;pub alternative.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-6344551389350954598?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/6344551389350954598/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=6344551389350954598' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/6344551389350954598'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/6344551389350954598'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/04/shreddies-diamond-shreddies.html' title='Shreddies : Diamond Shreddies'/><author><name>Reggie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05357017308731462226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-991598463346747634</id><published>2008-04-17T17:01:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-04-17T17:36:07.092+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fallon'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Miami'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sony'/><title type='text'>Sony: Foam City</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/SAdsHnTvwUI/AAAAAAAAAGM/5fhQYJaiRGE/s1600-h/sony+foam.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/SAdsHnTvwUI/AAAAAAAAAGM/5fhQYJaiRGE/s400/sony+foam.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190235973634474306" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;Je vous avait parlé il y a une dizaine de jours d'une nouvelle pub qui était en train d'être filmée à Miami pour la marque Sony. C'est tout frais, tout beau, tout neuf et surtout plein de bulles! Ils ont distribué des caméras et des appareils photo aux participants qui se sont ensuite filmés et pris en photo au milieu de toute cette mousse. Pour voir de quoi je parle, cliquez &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBXkrU86YxA"&gt;ici&lt;/a&gt;. A comparer avec le travail fait précédement par la même agence pour la même marque. C'est à dire &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLUAbkRUvVQ"&gt;ça&lt;/a&gt; ou encore &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jsHfWrPZdU"&gt;ça&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;A vous de commenter sur le sujet ou tout simplement de choisir votre préférée. Malheureusement, la qualité de l'image fournie par youtube ne permet pas de voir parfaitement la texture de la mousse, en particulier lors de la première scène.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapeau pour le budget par contre, car j'imagine que bloquer tout un pan de quartier à Miami et y déverser des tonnes de mousse partout ne doit pas être à la portée de tous les budgets.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-991598463346747634?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/991598463346747634/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=991598463346747634' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/991598463346747634'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/991598463346747634'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/04/sony-foam-city.html' title='Sony: Foam City'/><author><name>Al</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02632579897971759070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://www.toshiromifune.org/images/lastsamurai/sanjuro4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/SAdsHnTvwUI/AAAAAAAAAGM/5fhQYJaiRGE/s72-c/sony+foam.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-461728799239762370</id><published>2008-04-09T16:15:00.007+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-01T15:10:50.115+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ne-O of Stink'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='toyota'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hakuhodo'/><title type='text'>Toyota : "Humanity"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JkD0Cbkd3JM/R_4UfGgDROI/AAAAAAAAAAU/T28RlEF4dAQ/s1600-h/toyotahumanity3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187606345330935010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JkD0Cbkd3JM/R_4UfGgDROI/AAAAAAAAAAU/T28RlEF4dAQ/s400/toyotahumanity3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Il y a quelque temps j'ai découvert ce spot de Toyota qui est l'oeuvre de l'agence Hakuhodo au Japon. A l'époque, Toyota cherchait à consolider son image de leader mondial sur le marché de l'automobile. Créer en 2006, la marque voulait que grâce à ce spot, ses clients sachent que la sécurité était la priorité de Toyota. En faisant appel au duo de producteur Ne-O of Stink, Toyota exprimait du même coup son désir de donner un profondeur artistique au message qu'elle voulait véhiculer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le concept était simple. Le spot devait expliquer en image comment Toyota se demarquait de ses concurrents grâce à ses inombrables fonctionnalités. Le mot clé n'étant pas l'esthétisme (marque de fabrique occidentale), mais la fiabilité. Ensuite, le directeur créatif Hideyuki Tanno voulait se distinguer en élaborant une publicité à saveur japonaise. Il voulait que le spot soit tourner au Japon même et qu'au travers on puisse ressentir toute l'hospitalité légendaire du pays du Soleil Levant. Rien de moins. Le résultat ? Le prix "Creativitiy", un "Silver Lion" au Cannes-Lions International Advertising Festival 2006 et le Grand Prix de la television au AdFest Asie 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bon, je vous mentirai pas, il y a un côté un peu choquant ou dérangeant derrière cette pub, mais quoiqu'il arrive elle vous accrochera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voici le &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdf2SZ9y7_g" target="blank"&gt;lien&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-461728799239762370?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/461728799239762370/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=461728799239762370' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/461728799239762370'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/461728799239762370'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/04/toyota-humanity.html' title='Toyota : &quot;Humanity&quot;'/><author><name>Reggie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05357017308731462226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JkD0Cbkd3JM/R_4UfGgDROI/AAAAAAAAAAU/T28RlEF4dAQ/s72-c/toyotahumanity3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-2395784300992682558</id><published>2008-04-05T16:03:00.009+02:00</published><updated>2008-04-05T16:40:39.102+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cadbury'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fallon'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Juan Cabral'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><title type='text'>Cadbury: Trucks</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/R_eKW_2oHBI/AAAAAAAAAGE/93fqVT9gOFA/s1600-h/Cadbury+truck.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/R_eKW_2oHBI/AAAAAAAAAGE/93fqVT9gOFA/s400/Cadbury+truck.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185765623642725394" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Effectivemet cela va faire un certain temps que je ne reviens plus poster sur ce blog. La raison est simple: entre temps j'ai déménagé à Londres!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et dans les agences de pub à Londres, quel est le buzz du moment? Juan Cabral à nouveau! Le directeur créatif de l'agence Fallon remet une couche pour la marque Cadbury, suite à l'énorme succès de &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnzFRV1LwIo" target="blank"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Gorilla&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (Pour de nombreux professionels, tout simplement la meilleure pub 2007). Cette fois-ci il donne vie à des camions et même pour quelqu'un d'aussi cynique que moi, il est impossible de ne pas sourire lorsque les flammes sont crachées et que "Don't stop me now" the Queen démarre. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7gJrs1jiZM&amp;amp;feature=related" target="blank"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Cliquer ici pour voir la pub&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Il faut avouer: du bon, du très bon travail! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;En attendant la prochaine pub pour Sony Bravia (un ami chez Fallon m'a dit qu'ils sont parti à Miami pour le tournage... attendons de voir le résultat), Fallon fait encore parler d'elle comme une des agences les plus intéressantes du moment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-2395784300992682558?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/2395784300992682558/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=2395784300992682558' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/2395784300992682558'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/2395784300992682558'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/04/cadbury-trucks.html' title='Cadbury: Trucks'/><author><name>Al</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02632579897971759070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://www.toshiromifune.org/images/lastsamurai/sanjuro4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/R_eKW_2oHBI/AAAAAAAAAGE/93fqVT9gOFA/s72-c/Cadbury+truck.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-4224678106095691953</id><published>2008-04-04T09:15:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2008-04-04T13:25:18.346+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Huggies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kimberly-Clark'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pampers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='JWT'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><title type='text'>Huggies : "Little Ducky"</title><content type='html'>&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.cadencehealth.com.au/Huggies%20Nappies%20Logo.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Non, vous ne rêvez pas, j'ai bel et bien l'intention de vanter les mérites d'un spot de &lt;em&gt;Huggies&lt;/em&gt;. Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, &lt;em&gt;Huggies &lt;/em&gt;est un des leaders mondiaux de produits pour bébé, appartenant au groupe &lt;em&gt;Kimberly-Clark&lt;/em&gt;. Durant les années 90, la marque livrait un duel sans merci à son rival de toujours &lt;em&gt;Pampers &lt;/em&gt;pour dominer le marché. Cela dit, il faut avouer que leurs spots étaient pour le moins kistch. (voir le &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=j1qgctVAztw" target="blank"&gt;lien&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le spot dont je veux vous parler nous vient de New-York. Conçu par &lt;em&gt;JWT NY&lt;/em&gt;, il a redynamisé l'image que je m'étais faite de cette marque à travers leurs anciennes campagnes. L'idée est réfléchie, simple et extrêmement efficace à la fois. Je crois que vous n'avez qu'à la regarder car le concept parle par lui-même. Toutefois, un conseil, regardez-la deux fois si c'est la première fois que vous voyez cette pub. Bizarrement je n'avais pas compris ce spot du premier coup. Ou peut-être qu'il s'avèrera que le problème c'est moi (rires)..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voici le &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZLUF31O_TE8" target="blank"&gt;lien&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-4224678106095691953?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/4224678106095691953/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=4224678106095691953' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/4224678106095691953'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/4224678106095691953'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/04/huggies-little-ducky.html' title='Huggies : &quot;Little Ducky&quot;'/><author><name>Reggie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05357017308731462226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-7278367125599652922</id><published>2008-03-22T14:12:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2008-03-22T15:18:50.678+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ford'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Steve McQueen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mustang'/><title type='text'>Ford : "Cornfield" featuring..

Chaque constructeur est prêt à injecter des sommes colossales dans leur département marketing respectif pour séduire les consommateurs. La preuve, en 2005, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ford &lt;/span&gt;investit plus de 150 millions de dollars pour promouvoir ses nouveaux modèles (à savoir la &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ford &lt;/span&gt;500, la "Freestyle", et le "Mustang GT 500). Parlant de la Mustang, la marque jouait gros en la remodelant il y a 3 ans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En effet, lorsqu'on retouche un monstre sacré de la culture pop, il y a toujours le risque que les fidèles ne suivent pas sa nouvelle orientation. Alors lorsque l'agence J. Walter Thompson USA élabora "Cornfield", elle avait l'intention de frapper fort mais toujours en restant fidèle à l'esprit de la Mustang. Elégante, puissante et surtout rebelle, tous les éléments étaient présents mais encore fallait-il trouver le porte-parole parfait. C'est à ce moment que le nom de Steve McQueen refit surface.  Tout le monde se rappelle de sa prestation légendaire dans "Bullitt" au volant de sa Mustang GT-390.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'est ainsi, grâce à la magie de l'image de synthèse, que Frank Bullitt fit son retour au volant d'une Mustang. Toutefois, ce n'est pas la première fois que &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ford &lt;/span&gt;fit appel à McQueen dans une de ses publicités. En 1999, il fit un apparition dans le spot promotionnel pour la "Puma" (cf: voici le &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAlklV5TZrE" target="blank"&gt;lien&lt;/a&gt;). Concernant la Mustang, le spot aussi appellé "Fields of Dream" a créé un énorme buzz dans le monde de la pub. Pour les inconditionnels de McQueen, ce spot est pour vous et pour ceux qui l'auraient déjà vu, avouez qu'on ne s'en lasse pas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voici le &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZzXHq7gKN8&amp;amp;feature=related" target="blank"&gt;lien&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-7278367125599652922?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/7278367125599652922/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=7278367125599652922' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/7278367125599652922'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/7278367125599652922'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/03/ford-cornfield-featuring-steve-mcqueen.html' title='Ford : &quot;Cornfield&quot; featuring..

Le spot "Dust", réalisé par Spike Jonze (qui a notamment réalisé le film "Being John Malkovich"), avait pour mission de promouvoir la rénovation prochaine des magasins &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Gap. &lt;/span&gt;Pour ceux qui ne connaîtraient pas cette marque, Gap, c'est plus de 3'100 magasins dans le monde et un revenu annuel, en 2007, de 15,8 milliards de dollars. C'est un groupe qui regroupe des chaines de magasins tel que &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Banana Republic&lt;/span&gt; ou encore &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Old Navy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toutefois, avec le temps la marque commença à s'essouffler, principalement parce que Gap se reposait essentiellement sur la présence de mégastars dans leur spots publicitaires pour vendre leur vêtement. Madonna, Missy Elliot, Will Farrell, Lenny Kravitz, ils y passèrent tous, mais avec le temps leur présence ne fut plus suffisante. Quand on pense que leur spot les plus marquants n'avaient aucune star en featuring  (cf : &lt;a href="http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=knW1hGwmEXQ" target="blank"&gt;Gap "Khaki Swing"&lt;/a&gt;), on aurait cru que la marque n'aurait jamais changé une équipe qui gagnait (preuve faite, j'ai moi-même acheté des "khakis").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malheureusement, c'est ce qui se produisit. La raison pour laquelle j'ai parlé plus haut de gaspillage publicitaire, est parce que le spot "Dust" n'a, pour finir, pas fait l'objet d'une campagne nationale aux Etats-Unis. Apparemment, il fut diffusé dans quelques villes pour après disparaître de la surface du monde publicitaire. Quand on voit son potentiel, on ne peut que constater le gâchis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voici le &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oob5uobmcy8" target="blank"&gt;lien&lt;/a&gt; (avec une mention spéciale pour la mère de famille dans son monospace)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-1073839154071141897?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/1073839154071141897/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=1073839154071141897' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/1073839154071141897'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/1073839154071141897'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/03/gap-pardon-our-dust.html' title='Gap : &quot;Pardon Our Dust&quot;'/><author><name>Reggie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05357017308731462226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-6155283141570451557</id><published>2008-03-11T16:34:00.010+01:00</published><updated>2008-03-15T20:03:22.002+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Welch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jordan McGrath Case and Partners'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><title type='text'>Welch's Grape Juice : "Memories"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.shriro.com.sg/images/Welch_GrapeJuiceGroup.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://www.shriro.com.sg/images/Welch_GrapeJuiceGroup.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Pour mon premier article, j'ai voulu chercher dans les publicités de mon enfance. Je voulais retrouver ces publicités qui ont marqué ma mémoire audiovusuelle. Automatiquement, la publicité de "&lt;em&gt;Welch's Grape Juice&lt;/em&gt;" m'est venue à l'esprit. Lancée en 1994, La campagne nommée "Memories" a connu un énorme succès durant la fin des année 90 aux Etats-Unis et au Canada. Réalisé par &lt;em&gt;Jordan McGrath Case &amp;amp; Partners&lt;/em&gt;, l'agence de publicité de &lt;em&gt;Welch's&lt;/em&gt;, elle décida d'innover en faisant primer la nostalgie du consommateur plutôt que sa sensibilité artistique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Et qui pouvait mieux séduire un adulte nostalgique qu'un enfant? Les "&lt;em&gt;Welch&lt;/em&gt; kids" avaient, en théorie, tous entre 4 et 7 ans. C'est à cette âge là généralement qu'ils débordent de fraicheur et de naturel dans leur jeu d'acteur. Notez que pour sa prestation, le premier "&lt;em&gt;Welch&lt;/em&gt; kid", Travis Tedford (aussi connu pour son rôle de Spanky dans les "&lt;em&gt;Littles Rascals&lt;/em&gt;") avait reçu le prix du meilleur jeune comédien au "Television Commercial Awards". Cette campagne a elle-même été primé 2 fois au Effie Award (Effectiveness in Marketing) en 1998 et '99.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;En l'an 2000, &lt;em&gt;Welch&lt;/em&gt; présenta sa nouvelle égérie, Isla Ng. La recette du succès &lt;em&gt;Welch&lt;/em&gt; ? Un enfant, un fond blanc et une bouteille de jus de raisin. Vous ne me croyez pas? Jugez-en par vous-même.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Voici le &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=fUCxza768sw" target="blank"&gt;lien&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-6155283141570451557?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/6155283141570451557/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=6155283141570451557' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/6155283141570451557'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/6155283141570451557'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/03/welchs-grape-juice-memories.html' title='Welch&apos;s Grape Juice : &quot;Memories&quot;'/><author><name>Reggie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05357017308731462226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-4838730277284414147</id><published>2008-03-06T16:19:00.010+01:00</published><updated>2008-03-11T17:58:39.353+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Coca-Cola'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Garth Davis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='slow motion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Adland'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Schweppes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Y and R'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='above the line'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='burst'/><title type='text'>Schweppes "Burst Campaign"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/R9APOhLxgOI/AAAAAAAAAF8/RL1eS4GNZvQ/s1600-h/schweppes.jpg"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/R9APOhLxgOI/AAAAAAAAAF8/RL1eS4GNZvQ/s400/schweppes.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174652713949036770" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Très belle nouvelle campagne de Schweppes par l'agence Australienne George Patterson Y&amp;amp;R, illustrée par cette publicité filmée par une caméra en &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;super&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;slow motion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; (10'000 images par seconde).

Créée en 1938, elle appartient aujourd'hui au groupe Procter &amp;amp; Gamble. En position de force sur le marché américain pendant plusieurs décennies, P&amp;amp;G s'appuyait sur des démonstrations comparatives "vs. Brand X" pour vendre son déodorant. Suite à la déferlante Axe/Lynx de la fin des années 90', l'avance d'Old Spice s'est réduite comme peau de chagrin. Il est clair que Axe/Lynx a bénéficié de l'excellent travail de son agence, BBH, visant en priorité les jeunes de 18 à 25 ans. Néanmoins la communication un peu trop "déjà vu" de Saatchi, agence qui s'occupait d'Old Spice, n'a certainement pas aidé à freiner le momentum de son rival.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;En 2006, P&amp;amp;G donne le compte Old Spice a Wieden + Kennedy et l'agence commence par repositionner complètement le produit: &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Experience is Everything&lt;/span&gt;. Une communication beaucoup plus drôle et décalée, pour s'attaquer au public cible partagé par Axe/Lynx. Les nouvelles pubs ont le plus souvent comme protagoniste un homme entre la trentaine et la quarantaine, quelqu'un qui pourrait "&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;nous apprendre deux-trois trucs sur la vie&lt;/span&gt;" en somme. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;

Grande messe du sport américain, cet événement est suivi chaque année par plus de 90 millions de spectateurs aux USA. Bien que ce nombre de spectateurs est impressionant, il ne reflète pas à lui tout seul les 2.7 millions de dollars qu'ont coûté chaque tranche de 30 secondes de publicité.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En effet, le Superbowl est l'un des derniers événements télévisuels ou la publicité est perçue comme partie intégrante du spectacle. Ainsi, lors des nombreuses &lt;em&gt;Superbowl parties &lt;/em&gt;organisées partout sur le territoire américain, de nombreux "&lt;em&gt;Guys be quiet, the ads are on!

Je ne saurais traduire le mot en anglais qui me vient à l'esprit lorsque je vois cette vidéo: &lt;em&gt;inspirational&lt;/em&gt;. Tout à fait en accord avec la fameuse tag line de la marque à la virgule.&lt;br /&gt;L'utilisation d'une tag line n'est pas toujours à mon avis la meilleure décision pour une pub: c'est un message supplémentaire passé au spectateur qui à la base n'a pas demandé à voir votre message. Une tag line doit s'accorder parfaitement avec le reste du scénario et amener une touche en plus à la fin. L'illustration est parfaite dans l'exemple cité ici. Je pense que Nike possède la meilleure tag line au monde, difficile en effet de faire mieux qu'un simple &lt;em&gt;Just do it&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour voir la vidéo, c'est &lt;a href="http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=obdd31Q9PqA"&gt;ici&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-6567268448815137241?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/6567268448815137241/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=6567268448815137241' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/6567268448815137241'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/6567268448815137241'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2008/01/nike-no-excuses.html' title='Nike: No excuses'/><author><name>Al</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02632579897971759070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://www.toshiromifune.org/images/lastsamurai/sanjuro4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/R5TPs1C_mFI/AAAAAAAAAEk/G1HRqnimAbU/s72-c/No+excuse.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100297349369110516.post-7476784956341636363</id><published>2008-01-18T15:10:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-02-07T13:33:08.142+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lynx'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='viral'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BBH'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='axe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='phone dump'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='campagne digitale'/><title type='text'>Nouvelle campagne digitale Axe/Lynx</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/R5CzjFC_mDI/AAAAAAAAAEU/5HU_yLxVccg/s1600-h/Lynxeffect.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156818988570744882" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/R5CzjFC_mDI/AAAAAAAAAEU/5HU_yLxVccg/s400/Lynxeffect.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La marque de déodorants d'Unilever nous avait habitué à un positionnement très particulier lors des campagnes de communication précédentes: le "geek" qui se transforme en véritable aimant à filles lorsqu'on l'asperge de déo.

Que se passe-t'il lorsque un américain est privé de son Whopper, le burger qui fait la réputation de la chaîne de fast food Burger King? Beaucoup d'incompréhension, de colère et de nostalgie apparement...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/R2ZaAVC_l-I/AAAAAAAAADo/VSwJcB9kfQE/s1600-h/Whopper.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144898586013571042" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/R2ZaAVC_l-I/AAAAAAAAADo/VSwJcB9kfQE/s400/Whopper.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMOPj6-4nDU"&gt;Voir la vidéo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Cela me rappelle une conférence de Nikesh Arora (Président Google EMEA) à laquelle j'ai eu la chance d'assister. Il disait que la publicité telle que nous la connaissons aujourd'hui est vouée a disparaître dans un futur plus ou moins proche. A l'avenir, la publicité sera entièrement réalisée par les consommateurs eux-mêmes, poussant le concept de &lt;em&gt;consumer generated content &lt;/em&gt;à l'extrême. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Dans ce cas précis, même si le consommateur est le sujet principal de cette pub, la réalisation et le concept de départ viennent d'une agence de publicité. Maintenant, le débat lancé sur Internet est de savoir si les clients filmés ne sont pas des acteurs... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;N'hésitez pas a me donner votre avis par commentaire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7100297349369110516-5150964425562639616?l=consumerisboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/feeds/5150964425562639616/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7100297349369110516&amp;postID=5150964425562639616' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/5150964425562639616'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7100297349369110516/posts/default/5150964425562639616'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consumerisboss.blogspot.com/2007/12/burger-king-whopper-freakout.html' title='Burger King: Whopper Freakout'/><author><name>Al</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02632579897971759070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://www.toshiromifune.org/images/lastsamurai/sanjuro4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b6QmSjo0irY/R2ZaAVC_l-I/AAAAAAAAADo/VSwJcB9kfQE/s72-c/Whopper.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
