Media Guy Bids Farewell to Beloved 'Stephen Colbert'

Category : General · No Comments Dec 9th, 2014

I can’t quite imagine living without “Stephen Colbert.”

Yes, we’ll still have Stephen Colbert — the actual human being who has been playing a blowhard pundit on Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” for 10 seasons (and before that on “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart”) — when he takes over for David Letterman on CBS’s “Late Show” sometime in 2015 (date TBD). But with the series finale of “The Colbert Report” on Dec. 18, we’re losing Stephen Colbert’s trademark “Stephen Colbert” character.

This makes my heart and my head hurt.

Brigitte Bardot was 18 years old when these pictures were taken in 1952. She had excelled in dance as a child and won a place at the Conservatoire de Paris, where she was trained in classical French ballet. Her classmates christened her “Bichette,” or “Little Doe.”

Her modeling career began in 1947. By 1952 she had already graced the cover of ELLE magazine. That year was pivotal for Bardot. It saw her cinema acting debut as well as her wedding to director Roger Vadim, whom she met while babysitting. She would …read more

Carriers Use Black Friday Weekend to Up the Retail Ante

Category : General · No Comments Nov 28th, 2014


Walk into one of the new Verizon Wireless stores, in Chicago or Houston, and you may find it hard to spot the phones. They’re buried in the back. At the front, the store stocks rows of accessories and digital gizmos: smartphone cases, headphones, fitness-trackers, smart-watches and connected devices for the home. It even sells drones.

The nation’s largest wireless carrier has opened two central city “destination stores” — and a third, smaller outlet in Seattle — this month as it prepares for an assertive holiday sales push. Verizon, like its rivals, is promoting deals on smartphones.

Watch Mike Nichols' Vintage Beer Ads

Category : General · No Comments Nov 22nd, 2014

Hollywood icon Mike Nichols died this week at the age of 83. A prodigious director and performer, Mr. Nichols directed roughly two dozen movies, including “The Graduate,” “Catch-22” and “The Birdcage.” Along the way, he won an Oscar, four Emmys, nine Tonys and a Grammy award.

What’s lesser known is that early in his career when Mr. Nichols was part of a comedy duo with Elaine May, they appeared in a series of animated TV commercials for the now-defunct Jax beer.

“It was the most fun doing commercials, I think, for us both,” Ms. May told Vanity Fair.

Facebook announced Friday afternoon that it would begin curtailing the reach of brands’ unpaid, or organic, posts that the social network’s algorithms consider “overly promotional.”

The change will not apply to all of a brands’ posts, just the less creative ones that fit certain criteria, like pushing people to buy a product, install an app or enter a contest or sweepstakes. Also under fire: posts that are just repurposed ads.

Here Comes 'Hunger Games' -- the Play

Category : General · No Comments Nov 7th, 2014

The producer of “Hunger Games” is serving up a new way to experience the hit saga about teens fighting to the death in a totalitarian world: It’s coming to the London stage.

Lions Gate Entertainment and Dutch media company Imagine Nation are teaming up for the production and will raise the curtain on the live action drama in 2016, the companies said today. They’re using what they call immersive staging techniques in a purpose-built theater next to Wembley Stadium.

The first two films, which star Jennifer Lawrence, have taken in more than $1.5 billion in ticket sales worldwide for Lions Gate. Based on a series of novels by Suzanne Collins, the story follows Katniss Everdeen, a girl from an impoverished region who volunteers to take her younger sister’s place in the deadly game.

The Next Logical Step in Real-Time Marketing: Reactvertising

Category : General · No Comments Oct 31st, 2014

It all started with an Oreo tweet in the Super Bowl — and it hasn’t moved much beyond that. But real-time marketing is still all the rage. Or at least it’s something advertising people like to run around saying, along with “paradigms,” “concepting” and “big data” (along with the all-too common misuse of “mediums” as a plural for medium).

But one agency has said enough with boring, old and slow real-time marketing. It’s time to evolve — or perhaps evolute — real-time into the next big thing. So Toronto-based shop John St., the agency that brought us Catvertising, is introducing Reactvertising.

“It’s not about being funny or smart. It’s about being fast,” says one of the agency’s 2,800 new speedwriters in this promotional video. “So now we just write whatever pops into our heads.”

Snapchat's First Advertiser: Messaging Service Is Like TV

The ad — which can be viewed below as an animated GIF — appeared under the “Recent Updates” tab in Snapchat users’ friends list and carried a “sponsored” label. To watch the ad, people needed to click the entry and hold their finger on their phones’ screen for the duration, as with viewing any other content on Snapchat.
