Awareness or exploitation.
This live display for the Salvation Army found on Invisibile Red does what it’s supposed to: makes you stop and go wtf? But is it going too far if it uses real kids to make the point? Seems like something American Apparel would go for. (I hear they’re big on kids.) Would Macy’s ever do this with real homeless people? No way, but Benetton might. Looks like we’re way past using kids in decals.+ enlarge

Does IBM get it?
Further proof that most gigantic IT brands have no soul. With the exception of the so-called leaked Office Values, and maybe the John Wodden spot, I’ve hated everything they’ve done. But I caught this spot over the weekend and for once thought theu lost their smugness and picked up a sense of humor. Two avatars mimic the premise of Second Life in a series called Do. IBM poking fun at itself, could it be? Nope. First problem is, the url from the spot takes you to a site on innovation, and I swear without fail, trying to figure out the point of the content there is one of the most frustrating and complicated thing you will try, (next to calling Dell’s tech support and figuring out why people like Dane Cook).The functionality works, but there’s too much of it. Menus, sub-menus, sub-sub-menus. Once in, you then discover what has to be 50 separate video clips taken from larger interviews on innovation. It’s then you realize the TV spots had nothing to do with what this site is about. The clips are more of the same self-important bloated IT-speak on innovation that the spots make fun of.
(There’s also another one in the series where a room of people are ‘ideating’ on the ground. Group think at it’s finest.) They’re funny themes from the current business climate to parody, but not if you fail to connect the dots. I know TV doesn’t always need to duplicate the microsite, the print, blah, blah–been there. But it should at least connect in some way, no? At the very least, make it available on the site. All that money spent, and it had to be a sheetload, some intern couldn’t upload a clip to YouTube or iFilm? (Thanks to DaBitch for being the only one to have it.)

Dude, yer gettin a bunch of celebs for Christmas.
Did robot Burt just say ‘peeps’? Why yes, yes he did. I gotta say though, Chuck Liddell is pretty funny as one of several celebrities pitching Dell’s product line on yoursishere.com. You have to question how much this must have cost to get all these people, even though it’s definitely a step up from the only celeb they ever really had with the Dell dude.Tags: Dell

Real PSAs standing by NOW!
Well, since serious issues like unions aren’t what you people want, let’s go for the money shot. Help protect the Rio Grande from the so-called girlie magazines and stimulated readers who would become hardened in cynical contempt. Call 1-900-ANTIPORN. Although I would disagree with the characterization of newstands at the end of it. I think Drudge now has that honor.(This could be viewed as NSFW, unless of course you work for Pat Robertson.)
Seriously, what’s up with McDonald’s?
The “let’s throw anything out there and give the brand 20 different voices” zeitgeist is dangerous in the wrong hands. Click on the infomercial link in the burst to feel my angst.

Does advertising need a union?
This is what happens when you don’t blog for a day, you start thinking about things other than the latest Bud spot. Things that most industry pubs won’t touch because it bites the hand. Highjive and AdPulp mentioned it recently, and Toad has touched on the freelance issue too. I’ve thought about it a lot lately. Any freelancer or person on staff who’s gotten screwed one of several ways probably wishes they had some form of protection too.
Why is advertising the only ‘creative’ profession without a union? Ironic since most of the above and below the line costs you would use for major productions have them already, everything from directors, talent, animation, etc.
Everyone but advertising. I can see the arguements against it already:
Freelancers make a ton already! We get to work in cool studios doing award-winning stuff that may or may not be seen on TV or film! We have benefits and two weeks vacation! Agency perks like free sushi and beer on Friday afternoons! We get to wear iconic t-shirts, funky sneakers, jeans and listen to Beck! What’s so bad about that?
Well, yes, we get to come and go as we want–mostly–but freelancers also have the joy of not knowing where the next gig is going to come from, or for how long. They get to pay ALL their expenses out of an ever-reducing hourly rate, including medical, travel, higher on average social security and tax rates–and get to wait up to 30-60 days for that first check. Oh, and temp services that take a huge cut and then always seems to place you in less than ideal environments.
Agencies could care less though because they’re paying you that higher hourly rate so they don’t have to deal with all that crap. To them, it’s basically a no-strings attached, one-week stand. But it’s not just freelancers who get screwed.
Job security? A big fucking HA! Not for freelance, not for staff whatsoever. And try putting in less than 70 hours without the scorn of others. Two weeks vacation that actually gets broken apart into smaller chunks of time, because well, it would be better for the agency if people weren’t away for so long. A series of long weekends is now the norm for most creatives.
And what about those benefits, the ones that you now have to pay more of in terms of a copay ... because it would be better for the agency to not have to pay so much. Nice. And I’m sure your 401 will be safe, provided the agency doesn’t fold, leaving you with nothing.
You can also bet that all the talent you work with, especially on a spot for TV has more protection and a regulated workflow than you do. A grip or animator at Disney likely has more job security and benefits than any agency ACD.
Not to mention protection from the one thing you can call your own: intellectual property. You know, the ideas your senior AD or ACD didn’t think were “really working,” but somehow managed to make it into the internal presentation the next day?
How about fired for any reason the owner or mid-level office managing minions or AEs see fit. Which, is more often about politics and personal agendas than it is about issues of competency. I’m crazy, right? Riiiiight. With the growing number of account-driven agencies permeating the business, account execs and project managers have more say in terms of how projects run, and if as a creative, you’re perceived even slightly as not being a ‘team player,’ you’re the problem the agency needs to deal with.
Forget for a sec that you may raising creative issues that go to the heart of what agencies should be about. A few mid or senior level creatives will not compare to AOR status and a multi-million dollar account on the line.
Where’s your recourse?
You have none, and if you keep butting heads, well, you’re screwed in the current ‘right to work’ environment of most states. (For the student newbies out there, you can be fired for any reason they see fit to hide behind). And what’s at the heart of this? Yeah, it really is that stupid: some AE cared more about getting a layout that wasn’t ready to the client, just so they can say they met the deadline–and you’re the asshole for bringing it up.
And, does this shit happen at the bigger and better shops? Probably not. (There are worse things in life than getting to wear jeans and listening to Beck at work.) Even if (insert really cool agency here) was a sweatshop, most people would probably put up with half the problems just for the name on their resume. Messed up I know, but that’s the way it is.
In fairness, it’s also not an issue at very small shops with husband and wife designers, or maybe studios with 5 or 10 designers doing cool shit and everyone’s happy.
But a union wouldn’t be for the places where things are great. This is about the places where it isn’t. The places where they treat staff as just another expense to be let go 150 at a time. You can blame the loss of a client all you want, but it’s never just about that.
The senior marketing dudes who open a small shop, take advantage of the staff who always work late, and then rake it in while talking at seminars on the Ad Age circuit. Or the shops who’ve been around for a long time, bloated at the top with a staff that dreads going to work, but finding another gig may be hard. Especially when you’re intimidated by an attitude that says you should be thankful because of ‘the way things are out there right now.’
How many yachts can you water ski behind indeed.
I could go on with a list of gripes, but it’s not about that. It’s about how you can tell a lot about an agency by the way it treats its employees. I’m just raising issues that need to be addressed. Seeing as we’re in this new snake oil-based age of conversation, I’m just starting one is all.

Greenwashing, or just socially aware?
Interesting article on how companies of late may be too quick to jump on the green bandwagon. (You mean BP and Ford don’t want to help the environment? Shock. Awe.) Bottom line is that the green message will ring true if it comes from a brand that walks the walk. Slapping a cool yellow and green leaf in your ads isn’t enough.

Samsung stick figure theatre.
I like this Samsung effort better than the current contest they have. Funky animated vid that takes you to a microsite, then onto the main. 4.5 millions views in three weeks, pretty good. A suggestion or two: a few less entry pages into the site, maybe instead land on the page that explains the clip. Might be nice to also allow the clip to live online for a little while before revealing the brand connection. Too much rushing lately with integrated campaigns. “We have to get it all out there at once! We’ll do a viral, launch the site, a PR release, TV, and....” Whoa. Easy. Slow down. Let the wine breath before taking a sip. Regardless, it’s still is a nice effort for a brand.Tags: Samsung

Glengarry Glen Ross, Cracow style.
Yeah, that one. Came across a funky poster site from Poland for the Mamet classic. But it looks more like something David Lynch would run. (This site covered it as well and has a theory on the different styles.) No matter the reason though, what’s amazing is the interpretation from a designer’s POV. These take all kinds of liberties with theme, color and type and are graphic design at its purest. Very cool, very painterly, but no way they fly here.

The unstoppable Eli.
In this spot at least. (Clip link on bottom left once there.) Taking into account that he probably signed on with Citizen before the season started, his clock management issues of late make this tie-in a little ironic to say the least. While it’s unlikely anyone could have predicted how he’d be doing at this point of the season, it’s still frustrating to see athletes doing so many ads before living up to their hype on the field. Think about it:You never saw Billy Kilmer doing a Bud spot.
Not Mr. Punter’s Helmet. (Now, he may have been on the sideline with a brew in one hand and a cigarette in the other, but at least he had standards: no ads during the season.) And I know Citizen didn’t want to pay the NFL to show Eli in a Giant’s uni, but for a brand hanging out in Breitling territory, do they really need a caption that says ‘pro QB?’ Especially when the spot runs during a Giant’s game and his last name is, uh, Manning.

The Guild: Geek TV at its finest.
Sure they have their own network in G4, but as one viewer commented: “This is the life of half of the people in YouTube.” The Guild is an original mini-series–literally at under four minutes an episode–created by an actress and gamer who got fellow gamers to help fund it. Talk about writing what you know though.Parts of it are played over the top, but otherwise it’s short and sweet. It’s the kind of show most brands would’ve tried on their own and screwed up with product mentions everywhere. While it’s nice to have sponsors pay for original content, the dynamic changes when they’re no longer essential to getting it produced. In that case, brands go from being in the driver’s seat to scrambling to be part of the lightning in a bottle any way they can. Because of that, expect to see a product tie-in down the road with this series.

Rent the coffee, we throw in the car.
Okay, I guess. Travel + car = need to stop for drink sometimes. I wonder how many people take the coffee and drive to a Starbucks though. I guess when you’re basically reduced to being a price brand in the rental category with real no point of difference, any idea gets the nod. Why not then just give free Trojans away for when you stop and pick up a hooker on the way to a Motel 6. A branding three-way if you will. NOT that I’m stereotyping or anything. (But as coffee themes go, a better ‘pick me up’ is Enterprise’s free ride program.) Better yet, just make it 1 lb. of coffee and something more useful like a travel mug with each 2nd rental. Or for instant gratification, a Dunkin’ Donuts $5 gift card.Tags: Starbucks, Budget, Dunkin’ Donuts

But, but, any PR is good PR I thought.
“We are disappointed in the breakdown in our own creative process.”You mean proofreading process. Yeah, nobody caught it. Riiiight. I ’m sure this went back and forth between some low-level brand person and an AE at the agency who joked about ‘Christmas’ vs. ‘family’ and what’s PC these days. And another thing, let’s be real here: figuring out which in-store signage gets the PMS 300 isn’t really that creative.
