The USH idea awards. Recognizing surviving baby zebras since 2012.
April 25, 2013
By Mauricio Galvan / d exposito & partners.
Imagine a beautiful new born baby zebra. Cute as hell. Picture her learning to stand up and she takes her first steps on a long journey towards greener pastures. There she goes. But this journey will not be easy, no sir. The baby zebra needs to avoid getting stampeded every time the herd wants to go in a different direction all of a sudden.
If she survives that, she then has to outsmart the hunters. Sometimes she has to camouflage or pretend to be something else, giving up her real self just to stay alive.
Then come months of dryness, in which she has to walk for miles without having a drop of water, fueled only by the idea of what it could be if she makes it through one more day. Read the rest of this entry »

Americans are Fed Up with Bad Ads.
April 16, 2013
An InsightsOne survey, which was aimed at determining American attitudes and behavior around the ads they see every day, found that fully 87% are now putting their foot down on the number of irrelevant ads they are willing to see before they ignore a company completely. Almost a quarter (23%) of Americans say they will do so after seeing just one spam email or online ad, and 43% say they will ignore a company completely after seeing as many as two.

Beyond the Buzzwords: Temporarily Ditching the Misplaced Cultural Modifiers.
February 26, 2013
By Nancy Morkovsky – Brand Planning Director, Richards/Lerma
Arguably, the most critical conclusion a brand or agency can make is an accurate definition of its prospective target audience. Defining the right target leads to clarity and focus, which leads to insightful and relevant creative, which in turn positively affects your client’s business. It sounds so simple, but with so many consumer segmentation models, new cultural buzzwords and the lingering ghosts of archaic language-based models, it can be challenging to pinpoint the “right” Hispanic consumer.

Ride the crest of a trend, be dumped by a fad.
February 24, 2013
By Dr Inka Crosswaite_Cultural Insight and Semiotics Specialist_Added Value South AfricaPost originally written for TREND.
Everyone – from Adelaide to Hong Kong, Istanbul to Stockholm, Tallahassee to Zürich – is dancing ‘Gangnam’ style. A handful of brands have embraced the music track, or its dance moves, in a bid to capitalise on the instant recognition they spark in consumers of all ages, and from all cultures.

TV is no longer simply a Device – It’s an Experience.
February 7, 2013
At the San Francisco Bay Area Interactive Group meeting last week, David Verklin (formerly of Canoe Ventures and Carat North America, currently with Calera Capital) discussed the future of our industry. Much of his focus was on the paradigm shifting as a result of other “sensors” creating new sources of data, while providing new avenues for ad delivery. His statement “Television is no longer a device, it is an experience,” got me thinking about how TV, as it is referred to by viewers younger than 18, will potentially drive the delivery of ad messaging across a number of platforms for many years to come.

What Do Consumers really Think about Advertisements? [INFOGRAPHIC]
January 9, 2013
It’s been said that the average American is exposed to 3,000 advertising messages a day, ranging from emails to billboards. With that kind of ad overload, it’s not too surprising that 76% of consumers think ads are very or somewhat exaggerated, according to a new study by Lab42. (Some 3% think ads are “very accurate.”) This week’s infographic is full of insights from the study, including ways that marketers can make ads more convincing and palatable to consumers.

Where does Creativity Belong: In Agencies or Marketing Organizations?
November 21, 2012
When I worked at a large communications agency early in my career, I found it odd when heralded “creatives” were automatically assigned to generate ideas for client challenges. Conversely, I also thought it odd that some clients had a knee-jerk reaction to outsource so much creative thinking to an agency in the first place, when the client organization was filled with incredibly smart and creative people.

Turkey with yuca con mojo: Marketing Día de Acción de Gracias to US Hispanics
November 20, 2012
by Zaida Granados / Guest Blogger at Zubination
I don’t need to tell you that Thanksgiving Day is around the corner. You must be receiving the daily email holiday coupons, constantly being TV-fed the holiday shopping sales…and let’s not forget receiving in the mailbox shoppers filled with pictures of plump turkeys and canned pumpkin. This is the one other holiday – aside from Christmas Day – that touches on all the consumer senses – and it’s those marked senses that drive sales for brands. What I find interesting about Thanksgiving Day, from an advertising perspective, is that Hispanic marketers have not fully tapped into the cultural differences of this American tradition.

Effective Ads marry Message with Impact.
October 11, 2012
Making sure that consumers remember not only an ad but the brand behind it is the key to advertising effectiveness. A recent Nielsen analysis of CPG TV ads from 2012 found that Ocean Spray’s signature “Men in a Cranberry Bog” commercial tops the list of ads that not only resonated with consumers, but also were linked with the brand itself. In fact, consumers were 59 percent more likely to connect that ad with the Ocean Spray brand than the typical brand linkage of a commercial. Read the rest of this entry »

The FAM Study: Nearly 90% of Latinos identify ‘Famillia’ as core to their identity. [INSIGHT]
October 4, 2012
As part of the network’s recently unveiled rebranding campaign, “The Power of T,” Telemundo Media announced the findings of The FAM Study (Familia Americana Moderna), a new study of the U.S. Latino population designed to explore the evolution of the Latino family and its impact on television viewing habits and family influence on purchase decisions in key categories. The study, conducted among over 1,000 Latino adults age 18 and older, also provides a better understanding of the multi-family and extended family phenomenon and explores the role of culture and the situational and selective preference for the use of Spanish. Key findings showed 86% of Latinos identified the “family” as core to their Latino identity; 81% stated that Spanish-language television preserves the language and culture in Latino families; and more than 60% of Latinos look for information and advice within their family across key product categories such as food, financial services and health products.

Expect these women to be one of the most active and engaging consumer segments as their use of social media often outpaces other demographic and user groups – including the hyper connected members of Gen Y and Gen Z. This is among the key findings from the 2012 Taylor Consumer Engagement Survey: Social Media and the Olympic Games. Read the rest of this entry »
