Google Chrome, Dead Mom Brings Daughter Closer to Father

google_chrome_jess.jpg

Google Creative Lab and BBH New York have added to their long-ish running “The web is what you make of it” campaign which demonstrates how Chrome and other Google products can make life easier. This latest entry takes a look at the relationship between a daughter in college and her father and they both cope with the recent loss of mom. It’s playful like other campaign entries but carries a bit of a bittersweet tone that may resonate with some better than others.

How to Make Your Online Ad Campaign Kick Ass

keep_calm_kick_butt.jpg

Online advertising is great, right? Everything is trackable and ROI can be determined quickly. You can optimize your campaigns to death at the click of a mouse. You can razor-target specific audience slices as easily as ticking a few check boxes. OK, so it’s not exactly that easy but you get the point

However, it’s not as rosy as many of us would like to believe. In the midst of all that clicktastic awesomeness, how do you manage the barrage of data that online advertising has barfed up with the force of Niagara Falls after a five day downpour?

Well there’s these things called data management platforms or DMPs that are designed to extract meaningful insight from that deluge of data so marketers can make informed decisions. Bluekai is one such provider and they have written a report, part of the Adrants whitepaper series, that aims to teach marketers how they can use a DMP analytics platform to tie together different data streams to improve campaign efficiency and ROI.

Giant balloons are the heart of any advertising campaign today

Also it costs a fortune to advertise in such media. And if after spending so much money, the advertising is just not effective, it makes no sense to spend this kind of money. And that is why advertisers are now using huge balloons to advertise their businesses.

‘Yawn-vertising’ Aims to Enlist PGA Golfers As BMW Brand Ambassadors

BldBMWDayCeiling72.jpg

This weekend hoping to enlist PGA Tour golfers as brand ambassadors, BMW of North America, with help from Raleigh-based agency Baldwin& (no, that’s not a typo), will affix posters above the beds in the Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, IN that show the front grill and logo of the BMW M.

When golfers turn out the lights for the night, the vehicle’s headlights will glow and a headline will appear. It reads, “Don’t count sheep. Count RPMs” followed by copy which reads, “To reserve your spot at the BMW M driving experience, visit the BMW hospitality concierge.”

If golfers turn on the and turn to the hotel’s relaxation channel, they will be met by soothing sounds of the BMW M and an image of the car’s dashboard along with a headline that reads, “You are now entering RPM sleep. This audio experience has been designed by BMW to help you fall asleep as fast as possible. Because Thursday is the players-only BMW Track Day. And yawning at 100 mph is not very aerodynamic. See you on the track.”

Golfers who elect to attend BMW Track Day, will get to take an M car through a closed Indianapolis Motor Speedway racecourse.

The intention, of course, is to get these influential golfers into the vehicles so that, while they may not buy, they’ll certainly regale the experience to their equally wealthy friends.

Urban Outfitters T-Shirts Glorify Drinking

urban_outfitters_drinking_tshirts.png

Urban Outfitters, as they have for years, is once again pushing buttons. This time it’s moms who aren’t too happy the clothing brand is out with a line of t-shirts that, it would seem, advocates drinking.

Four new t-shirts read, “USA Drinking Team,” “Vote for Vodka,” “Misery Loves Alcohol” ands one with blurry letters that read “I Drink You’re Cute.”

Mothers Against Drunk Driving President Jan Withers told the New York Times, “As a mother, these shirts are not acceptable for children under the age of 21. If they’re targeting that audience, then they’re sending the message that it’s cool to drink. We know of the dangers of underage drinking and the fact that it’s just downright illegal.”

With Urban Outfitters customer base mostly 18-24, much of this outrage may be warranted. Is this just harmless fun or does Urban Outfitters need a good spanking?

Is ‘BIC For Her’ Really A Social Media Debacle?

bic_for_her.jpg

So everyone’s got their panties in a twist over the BIC for Her pen situation. It’s being called a social media disaster, a debacle and, yes, yet another example of a brand asleep at the social media steering wheel. These are all valid points. But, perhaps, not to the degree we inside the inner circles of marketing would like them to be.

Writing in Advertising Age today, B.L Ochman, who is one of the most astute, bright and wonderfully friendly people on the planet wrote, “Judging by their clueless lack of response, BIC richly deserves its place in the anals of online brand goofs.”

Pointing out how many missteps the brand took in this situation, Ochman continued, “Despite the fact that the buzz has been growing for weeks, the brand did not have the foresight to secure @BicForHer on Twitter, where a spoof account has already been launched, nor did they buy the URL www.bicforher.com, which is available for $12.99. A Tumblr blog is chronicling the funniest reviews and blog posts. An ad for BIC for Her launched last week, and is fast picking up derisive comments on YouTube. And through it all, BIC is silent.”

Ochman is correct in her assertion that the brand fell on its face here. She’s right on all counts. But is it really as big a deal as it’s been made out to be?

In a comment to her Advertising Age piece, I wrote, “I wonder what would happen if BIC did nothing at all. Now I’m all for ‘joining the conversation’ and dealing with controversy but we’re talking abut an innocuous little pen here. I wonder if, in a week or so, after all the media has covered this to death , whether or not people will go on with their lives as if nothing happened. My bet is they will. My bet is also that in the greater sea of nationwide pen buyers, only a small percentage of people noticed this or, if they did, even care. Now I’m not arguing that a small but very vocal minority should be ignored. But in the greater scheme of things, is this really as big a deal as we’d like to make it?”

We love to chastise brands that trip over themselves. And social media has both exponentially magnified the likelihood a brand will, at some point, screw up and amplified the means through which the public can chastise the brand for doing so.

But is BIC really going to suffer any lasting pain over this? Are they going to see a drop in sales? Are women really that upset over a feminine-styled product when countless other products are feminized for women? Will BIC simply come out with BIC For Him and have the last laugh? Will this just turn out to be yet another case of “any publicity is good publicity?” What do you think?
