Oh, Grow Up! Scion Veers To Older Target With New Campaign
After years of marketing itself to just about the youngest driving demographic possible, Toyota's Scion brand today will announce a new campaign -- a mea culpa of sorts that its advertising might have actually aimed too young in the past, just as the brand is now starting to show signs of life after years of declining sales.

Facebook Launches 'Gifts' in Crafty Data Play
Facebook is looking to tap into a new revenue stream of forgetful friends by launching a service that is integrated with birthday reminders.
Rolling out starting today in the U.S., Facebook Gifts will be integrated with birthday reminders so that users will see notifications urging them to give gifts to people with upcoming birthdays, and users will also be able to send gifts from their friends' timeline pages. It works by first letting the buyers browse through the selection of gifts (currently a hodgepodge including $35 cupcake orders from Magnolia Bakery and a $5 Starbucks gift card). Once they've made a selection, the recipients get an alert and provide a shipping address.
Then the buyer enters credit card information to make the payment.
Ka-ching! Facebook gets a credit card number, a street address and a host of other identifying information it currently doesn't have about its users.

Savage Flap NY Subway ads
The agency that oversees the city's public transit system, stung by a court decision that forced it to run an ad implying that enemies of Israel are "savages," says it will continue to allow political advertisements on subways and buses but will require them to carry disclaimers.
Under a policy adopted Thursday by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority board, ads expressing political, religious or moral viewpoints will have to include legends cautioning that the views being expressed aren't necessarily endorsed by the MTA. The disclaimers also will carry the names of the people or groups sponsoring the advertisements.

Referees’ return is emotional…and controversy-free for Ravens, Browns
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/wp/2012/09/28/referees-return-is-emotional-and-controversy-free-for-ravens-browns/
The NFL’s regular referees — the real refs — returned Thursday night, working the Cleveland Browns‘ game against the Baltimore Ravens in M & T Bank Stadium and, for a few moments, the scene was surreal.
They were greeted with a standing ovation and cheers. There were none of the “manure” chants that marred the nationally-telecast game from Baltimore on Sunday. Players and coaches greeted referee Gene Steratore and his crew warmly. “Good evening, men. It’s good to be back,” Stenatore told players and, with that, everything went back to normal. The game flowed smoothly with an evident sense of control and confidence that these guys were 99.9 percent sure what to do in every situation. Not that they’re perfect, but over three weeks, the contrast and just what they had brought to the game became apparent, culminating in the Monday night debacle.

At Business Insider's Social Media ROI Conference yesterday, Ford's head of global digital communications director Scott Monty talked about his company's approach to social media.
For the most part, at large companies social media is run out of communications and marketing departments, possibly extending to customer service.
Monty said that Ford's social media plan in coming years will be to move beyond that. "Our priority really is to start taking social across the entire enterprise, not just the usual departments ... to help anybody in the company embrace social."

Mars rover examines rock close up

The robot pushed its arms against a rock to find out what elements it was made out of.
The rock - named "Jake Matijevic" after a former rover engineer - was not expected to have high research value.
Instead, it gave scientists an early chance to demonstrate the performance of the arm's "hand lens" and X-ray spectrometer

Will NFL's Referee Antics Chase Away Advertisers? Doubtful
http://www.forbes.com/sites/dalebuss/2012/09/25/will-nfls-referee-antics-chase-away-advertisers-doubtful/
The powers that be in the National Football League — team owners and Commissioner Roger Goodell — certainly aren’t sweating it in public.
But to the extent that the rising national outcry over rotten officiating by substitute referees may be making some of them itch under their collars at this point, there’s only one reason for their growing discomfort.
And it has nothing to do with upset fans, blanket condemnation by sports literati, or even the fact that ESPN actually is taking some shots at the sport that it has done so much to promote over the years.
If NFL leadership bargains with the union of permanent referees a little more urgently this week, it will only be because they fear that advertisers might start withdrawing some support of the sterling brand that professional football has established in the marketing community. There simply is no better advertising vehicle available in America these days.
And that’s why advertisers aren’t going anywhere.

Volkswagen - first TV spot in the "Why VW" campaign
You know what's really freaking cute? Laughing babies. You know what's also cute? Laughing old people. You know what's not quite as cute, but still pretty heartwarming? Laughing anyone. And that's exactly what Volkswagen and Deutsch LA are giving us in this first TV spot in the "Why VW" campaign, appropriately titled "Smiles. The 30-second commercial shows snippets of "real people"—in order of age, from babies to kids to adults to seniors—laughing uncontrollably, with nary a car in sight. The spot's end line, "It's not the miles, it's how you live them," pushes a consumer-over-product message.

Beyond the 30 Second Spot: Marketers Adding
Alternatives to Television Advertising
A new survey, released today by the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) and Forrester Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR), found that 78% of advertisers feel that traditional television advertising has become less effective in the past two years. The survey also found that marketers are exploring emerging technologies to help bolster their television advertising spend.
- Almost 70% of advertisers think that DVRs and video-on-demand will reduce or destroy the effectiveness of traditional 30-second commercials.
- When DVRs spread to 30 million homes, close to 60% of advertisers say that they will spend less on conventional TV advertising; of those, 24% will cut their TV budgets by at least 25%.
- While 55% say that their top executives are closely watching changes in TV advertising, most advertisers have not experimented with advertising on DVRs (49%) or video-on-demand (44%).
- Eighty percent of advertisers will spend more of their advertising budget on Web advertising and 68% of advertisers will look to search engine marketing.
- Advertisers are also looking at alternatives to traditional TV advertising and will spend more of their advertising budgets on: branded entertainment within TV programs (61%); TV program sponsorships (55%); interactive advertising during TV programs (48%); online video ads (45%); and product placement (44%).
- Ninety-seven percent of advertisers agree that the TV industry will need new audience metrics - other than reach and frequency - to report commercial ratings, not just program ratings to effectively measure TV advertising.

For the future, and for you, we had to completely recreate the 911. The result: no fewer than 90% of all 911 components are either new or have been fundamentally revised. This is our approach to the preservation of tradition. Precisely how we do justice to the legend of the 911.

Michael Bay Crashing the Super Bowl With Doritos One winner will work on 'Transformers 4'
http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/michael-bay-crashing-super-bowl-doritos-143955
Michael Bay, unquestionably the greatest cinematic genius of all time, is teaming up with Doritos, which makes a damn fine chip, for the seventh-annual installment of the brand's "Crash the Super Bowl" contest for consumer-generated ads. A pair of winning spots—one selected by Doritos (Bay is a judge) and another by an online poll—will air during the Feb. 3 broadcast. The creator of the spot that scores higher on the USA Today Ad Meter ranking will be invited to work with Bay on Transformers 4, although Megan Fox won't be in this one, which, to my way of thinking, makes the prize considerably less enticing. (There's an additional $1 million prize if one of the ads finishes at No. 1 on the Ad Meter, which is hardly out of the question, based on past results.) Look for this year's slate of amateur auteurs to put Bay-inspired spins on the usual themes. For example, just imagine how much better last year's big winners, "Man's Best Friend" and "Sling Baby," would've been if the infant and dog had transformed and exploded

Yes, you are being bombarded by political ads
It is all in the name! This season politicians are cracking out the ads at break-neck paces for what seems to be the closest race since little Bush's 2nd term! But, and this may surprise you, but Iowa is getting the brunt of the action...yeah, Iowa. Surprised me too. But it seems that for the past six months, the Romney and Obama campaigns have been bombarding the swing state with countless ads deeming it the most important next to Colorado and Nebraska.

Because of these targeting violences there has been a closer of Japanese factories, schools, shops and resteraunts.

Multi-lure rigs exploded during a time of year when baitfish were of substantial size, and through the winter and very early spring anglers caught big largemouth, smallmouth, striped bass and other fish on rigs with 3 ½- to 6-inch swimbaits. Then the spawns came and these bigger offerings often went untouched. Some anglers used it as proof that multi-lure rigs were just what they thought they were – flashes in the pan – gimmicks that already went out of style.
Then a few smaller multi-lure rig versions appeared, and a few anglers gave them a shot, often using smaller 3- and 4-inch grubs instead of the bigger-bodied swimbaits. The results show the learning curve of these rigs is continuing to evolve. These smaller versions with more petite caught plenty of fish, and in fact still are right now.

Online Ads Get Personal
Political advertising is taking over television airwaves in battleground states, but complementary online advertising is also ubiquitous and being used by campaigns more than ever before.
Presidential campaigns, especially President Barack Obama's, have been at the forefront of digital political advertising. But this cycle, Congressional campaigns are catching up, using their Internet pitches not only as a fundraising tool, but as a key component of their strategy to target voting blocs
"There's two sides to the story," said Peter Pasi, a Republican digital strategist and executive vice president at Emotive. "Are campaigns reaching out more, are they really recognizing the value of online advertising? Or are the companies that sell advertising reaching out more? I think it's both."

Bonding with Batman can make you stronger.
It was hard to keep track of all the superheroes hitting the big screen this summer: Batman in "The Dark Knight Rises." Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America and Thor in "The Avengers." Peter Parker in "The Amazing Spider-Man."
And each character seemed to have bulked up for their latest comeback."Over the last few decades, superheroes' bodies have become extremely muscular with body dimensions that are impossible for most men to attain," write the authors of a new study that analyzes the effects of superheroes on male body image.
Past research has shown that seeing muscular figures can make men feel badly about their own bodies, similar to the way seeing stick-thin supermodels can make women question their weight.
But the same effect may not hold true for our favorite comic book characters.
The study, published this week in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, suggests watching superheroes can actually increase males' self esteem - and might make mere mortals stronger.
The study
Researchers with the University at Buffalo asked 98 undergraduate males to rate how much they liked and/or were familiar with Batman or Spider-Man on a scale of 1 to 5. Participants who scored a 4 or higher were said to have a "parasocial" relationship with the superhero - i.e. a one-sided psychological bond. Those who rated less than 2.5 were put into a control group.
All participants were then shown a photo of either a scrawny or buff-looking Batman/Spider-Man. They were given one minute to look at the photo and then asked to rate their mood, self-esteem and body esteem (how they perceive their muscular strength, biceps, etc.)
The undergrads were then tested with a hand-held dynamometer to assess their physical strength.
The results
Participants who had a strong parasocial bond and were shown a muscular superhero photo recorded higher body esteem than those who didn't have a bond with the character.
On the flip side, participants who weren't familiar with the character who were shown a muscular photo experienced a lower body esteem than participants who were shown a scrawny superhero.
More surprising were the strength test results. The undergrads with a parasocial bond who were shown a muscular superhero were stronger than those in the control group and stronger than those with a parasocial bond who were shown a non-muscular photo.
The takeaway
"The thing that I find most interesting ... is the idea that these media figures have real psychological effects on the self," says study author Ariana Young, a doctoral candidate in psychology at the University at Buffalo. "It’s not just mind-numbing entertainment. The bonds that we form –- and we do form real bonds - they affect how we feel about ourselves. And it’s not always in a bad way."
Young is planning another superhero study this semester where she'll analyze the effects of the characters on acts of heroism, or helpful behavior

Political Ads Sharpen Message
Romney has completely canceled his advertising campaign in Michigan, his home state, in favor of "swing states" such as
Florida, Ohio, Virginia, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado, and Nevada. No one is sure where the money will be transferred to exactly, but wherever it goes, there will be a lot of it.
Kantar projects that third quarter U.S. ad spending will get a short-term boost from the Summer Olympics and political advertising "but sustained long-term improvement will probably be linked to the health of consumer spending on the goods and services that marketers provide." But as BtoB Magazine notes, brands such as Dow Chemical, IBM, SAP and Siemens are "scaling back" on TV advertising in the U.S. until after the elections.

An Alaskan Master Guide Sentenced For Big Game Guiding Offense
http://www.outdoornews.com/September-2012/An-Alaskan-Master-Guide-Sentenced-For-Big-Game-Guiding-Offense/
Master Guide Joe Norbert Hendricks, 76, of Anchorage, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Ralph R. Beistline in Fairbanks, on charges that he committed unlawful acts in the course of his commercial big-game guiding enterprise Fair Chase Hunts in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge between 2007 and 2009. The charges Hendricks admitted to and to which he pleaded guilty included wanton waste of an entire caribou he had killed, two instances in which the horns of Dall sheep taken by his clients were altered by hammering the horns with a rock to obscure the fact that the horns were less than the legal minimum size, and 13 counts of subletting his assigned guide use area in ANWR to another guide, for compensation.
There were 16 offenses in all.

Customer knowledge makes the sale
Customer knowledge makes the sale
Selling solutions to customers' problems, it seems, is no longer enough. Customers today, especially B2B buyers, are determining what solutions are best for their specific need, and then looking for companies that can provide them. Increasingly rare is the occasion when a salesperson encounters a prospect at the beginning of the sales cycle. In fact, the sales cycle itself is evolving to a customer-led buy cycle. More and more, customers do their homework on what they need to meet a goal or solve a problem, contacting potential providers once they've created their own short list.
The Internet, of course, has and continues to play an integral role in this evolutionhttp://www.dmnews.com/customer-knowledge-makes-the-sale/article/258606/

At good $60,000 dollars was spent on an online campaign from the Republican party attempting to sell themselves via Twitter using the Hashtag "#Forward2012"
Peter Greenberger, who heads Twitter's Washington sales office, saw the trend coming from a long way off. "The Republican primary debates, with spin room occurring in real time," offered the first hint that the platform was poised for a breakout in the 2012 election cycle, he said.

Ridiculous political ads are here to stay
When it comes to those dreaded political ads, my colleagues who teach advertising want the public to know: They don’t condone this sort of stuff. And they don’t like it any better than the rest of us. Today’s two zingers aimed at women are cases in point. Melinda Henneberger already pointed out the problems with “The Breakup,” brought to us by the Republican National Committee. That ad features an RNC staffer portraying the whiney girlfriend calling quits with President Barack Obama (not that this staffer ever was “with” him in the first place)

All is fair game for politics
The game of politics is hardly recognized as a fair sport to play; as observers we accept this. But lately it seems as if team red and team blue may be stretching the rules of campaigning a bit more than usual when it comes to fact checking in advertising.
It’s strange though—neither opponent minds much of the rule breaking
Although this Democratic ad—cleverly named “Understands” on Youtube—is lacking coverage of timely details, the core of it is true. Bain Capital did sell GST Steel, which as a result laid off more than 700 workers who lost their health insurance, severance and pension benefits.
Despite the media and public’s concern about the truth in politics, both campaigns remain unabashed by their own advertising techniques. Perhaps every politician’s motto is, “An eye-for-an-eye.”

August retail sales should help cure jobs hangover
The August jobs report this past Friday could be taken as a sign that the economy is close to slipping back into a recession. But many economists argue that this is oversimplified and point to expectations for this week’s retail sales report to stem the concern. They say that retail sales should actually look pretty good. They said spending was up by .7%. Even auto sales have risen despite the growing gas prices. They don’t think the economy is falling, though the labor market appears to be in worse shape than companies appear to be.

Politicians and negative advertisement
"The only good thing about negative advertising is that it is extremely effective." says the author of this article, Al Coddington, discussing the effectivness of negative advertising.
A viewer of this website submitted a question asking who he should vote for seeing as how both sides are portrayed as negative people due to political adds. But, in truth, Al suggests that most politicians are stand=up guys with nothing but the best intentions. Running for political office is a very high-stress campaign and to win you must do what works even if that means being negative, which Al says are the most effective type of adds, usually being the most swaying to voters.
