Nielsen Taps IBM’s Watson for Measurement and Media Planning


Nielsen has partnered with IBM to put its Watson technology to work for advertisers. IBM will make the data-parsing system which famously outwitted "Jeopardy!" champions in 2011 available to companies for CRM, customer call centers and other purposes through its new Watson Engagement Advisor offering. Over the next several months Nielsen aims to apply the Watson technology to improve measurement of ad effectiveness and media planning.

"There's lots of information and data in the public domain that the average practitioner … typically isn't taking advantage of and Watson would use all of this information to come up with the best possible answer," said Randall Beard, global head, Advertiser Solutions at Nielsen.

A 26-year-old media planner....asks questions like, 'Who are my best prospects in the telecom category?' and 'How much should I budget for next year,'" said Mr. Beard. Using Watson, that media planner could tap into data she might normally ignore.

Having Shipped Its Pants, Kmart Now Offers You ‘Big Gas Savings’

Kmart's "Ship My Pants" ad was a major success, to the tune of 17 million YouTube views and counting. But can Draftfcb turn almost-profanity into a running gag for the retailer? It attempts to do so with this follow-up spot, "Big Gas Savings," which features some big-gas humor indeed. It even features the same family from "Ship My Pants," and once again the kid gets the best line. (In the earlier spot, he blurted out, "I can wait to ship my pants, Dad." Here, he shouts, "Dad, look at that big gas truck!") It's not quite as funny as the original, perhaps, but it seems destined to get similarly big-gas numbers on YouTube.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Prepares for the French Open by Practicing Against Twitter

French tennis star Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is preparing to play against a robot. Surprisingly, it's not Roger Federer, renowned for his robotically stiff commercial acting and machine-like winning ways (including those 17 Grand Slam singles titles). Today at 11 a.m. ET, at a practice session for the French Open, Tsonga will take on an actual automaton, which will try to hit shots past the world's eighth-ranked player based on tweets supplied by fans as part of a promotion for banking giant BNP Paribas (and agency We Are Social).

Fans visiting the Tweet & Shoot site can log in with Twitter and drag and drop tennis-ball icons to set up virtual shots, which are then encoded as hashtagged tweets which the on-court bionic Borg will decipher—and then spit out a real ball for Tsonga to hit. Users are also encouraged to include messages of encouragement to Jo-Wilfried, who has never won a Grand Slam event. Forty fans chosen by BNP's social communities are guaranteed to have their shots included at Tsonga's session with the robot. The rest will be picked at random from among the tweets. Folks with no lives whatsoever can check out Tweet & Shoot's streaming coverage of the event at the link above. Maybe the bot will blow a fuse, leap over the net and swat Tsonga like a fly.

    

O que tem no seu hot dog

Salsicha (ou hot dog) é um item comum no cardápio dos norte-americanos, especialmente crianças. A ideia da busca por salsichas livres de hormônios e outros remédios em nome de uma alimentação saudável não deixa de ser paradoxal, mas possível segundo a marca de carnes Applegate Farms.

Na série de comerciais What’s in your hot dog?, vemos algumas mães preocupadas em oferecer a tal alternativa saudável para sua família, interagindo com bovinos sobre o excesso de drogas presente nas carnes em geral. Diferentemente de Mad Sausage, que é muito mais incisivo ao pregar o vegetarianismo com cenas de violência contra os animais, estes comerciais focam no humor para vender carnes que, eles garantem, são orgânicas e naturais.

O resultado é interessante e diverte. A criação é da Taxi de Nova York.

Can a Small Agency Win Big Accounts Without a Partner?


Anthony Del Monte

A recent episode of "Mad Men" highlighted something all of us in the agency world already knew to be true -- small agencies are often brought to the pitch table by large clients because of their outstanding creative prowess, but are rarely awarded the account. The big-client relationships go instead to the larger agencies because of their perceived ability to marshal resources (read: manpower), when there's a need for multiple services.
