Danny Glover Stars in W+K Portland’s ‘Time’ for Samsung Galaxy S7

W+K Portland launched a new spot for the Samsung Galaxy S7 starring Danny Glover, entitled, “Time.”

“Time is the most valuable thing there is,” begins the voiceover, accompanied by footage of a cuckoo clock. “Since the beginning of time, there never seems to be enough of it,” he goes on, as two dinosaurs look up to see a comet headed their way. Continuing to wax philosophical about the chronological, the spot gets self-referential with the line, “Our greatest fear is running out of time…and you just spent 34 seconds of it watching this commercial.” Glover comes into the picture in a parody pointing out how time is involved inthe plots of most action movies.

The point of all this time talk? It arrives with the question “So if time is the most valuable thing there is why would you waste more than you have to charging your phone?” Well, they certainly took their time with that one. Joking aside, the spot is fairly entertaining, with Glover’s self-effacing performance the clear highlight. And while the delivery could have been a little quicker (to be fair, there are also 30 and 15-second versions) it does convincingly sell the phone’s wireless charging feature and longest-lasting battery.

The spot made its broadcast debut last Sunday during game seven of the NBA Finals. Additional ads in the campaign will follow shortly.

Time Turned the Year's Hottest Tech Into the Year's Dumbest Cover, and Parody is Rampant

OculusVR founder Palmer Luckey is one of the tech industry’s brightest rising stars—a fact Time tried but ridiculously failed to capture on its newest cover.

As you can see above, Luckey is shown in mid … uh, jump? Stumble? Rapturous epiphany? The only things viewers can tell for sure is that he’s been Photoshopped in front of a beach and that he looks ridiculous.

And it’s not just the image drawing heckles from tech enthusiasts. The story’s intro is cringe-inducingly awful at a time when most people have stopped seeing nerds as socially worthless outcasts:

“Palmer Luckey isn’t like other Silicon Valley nerds,” the article begins. “He’s a nerd all right, but not the kind who went to a top-ranked university, wrote brilliant code or studied business plans. He’s cheery and talks in normal sentences that are easy to understand.”

It’s doubtful that all this is just artful baiting of the Reddit crowd, but had it been, the results would likely have been the same. Photoshop has been working overtime today as many took up the challenge to make Luckey (and Time) look even more silly:

But perhaps this un-Photoshopped take was the cruelest cut of all:

Time terá anúncio bem na capa da revista

Cada um sabe o quanto lhe aperta o calo, e aparentemente a Time está disposta a arriscar ir contra algumas antigas diretrizes editoriais para alcançar uma maior verba dos anunciantes. A edição da revista que chegará amanhã às bancas nos EUA irá exibir um discreto formato publicitário bem na capa. Olhando de relance fica até difícil de reparar – é um retângulo acinzentado, logo abaixo do adesivo que traz as informações do assinante (ou o código de barras), e que remete o leitor para um anúncio mais avantajado, nas páginas internas da publicação.

O mesmo formato vai aparecer também na Sports Illustrated, outro título que também faz parte da Time Inc. A invasão da capa por um anúncio publicitário, por menor e mais discreto que seja, é uma ruptura com algumas das condutas sugeridas pela Sociedade Americana de Editores de Revista, que acredita que manter a capa isenta de propaganda ajuda a proteger a independência editorial das publicações.

O AdAge ressalta que o envelopamento de edições com capas removíveis que traziam propagandas já aconteceu anteriormente,  e que revistas menores já venderam espaços publicitários nas suas capas, mas que uma empresa jornalística do porte da Time ainda não tinha ‘se rendido’ a esse formato que ocupa a ‘vitrine’ do conteúdo editorial.

Uma empresa jornalística do porte da Time ainda não tinha ‘se rendido’ a esse formato que ocupa a ‘vitrine’ do conteúdo editorial

“A propaganda de capa tem o seu custo, e é obrigatório que o anunciante tenha um anúncio de página inteira ou uma página de conteúdo nativo naquela edição. Além disso, essa opção é oferecida apenas aos nossos maiores anunciantes, não está disponível para qualquer um”, esclareceu Norman Pearlstine, diretor de conteúdo da Time Inc.

O novo formato na capa da Time chega apenas duas semanas antes da Time Inc. fazer seu IPO na Bolsa de Valores de Nova Iorque (NYSE), depois da separação da empresa do grupo Time Warner.

Conteúdo em vídeo tem sido a nova aposta das publicações jornalísticas

Na mesma semana em que o New York Times apresentou um hub dedicado a conteúdos em vídeo, com direito até a uma adaptação do clássico logo do jornal, outros conglomerados da notícia também lançaram iniciativas semelhantes.

O Wall Street Journal anunciou a chegada da ‘video revista digital’ Signal, que deverá fazer uma curadoria dos melhores vídeos produzidos pela própria equipe do WSJ, além de algumas produções de terceiros. A Signal poderá ser acessada através da web ou de dispositivos móveis, mas há uma clara preferência dos produtores pela experiência através de tablets, já que a curadoria pretende privilegiar o modelo de uma revista. Apesar de já ter sido apresentada, a vídeo-revista do WSJ não deve estrear tão cedo – segundo uma porta-voz da publicação,  a Signal ainda está em estágios iniciais de desenvolvimento.

E não são apenas o NYT e o WSJ que estão interessados em conteúdos em vídeo – a Conde Nast, responsável pela publicação de revistas como a Vogue e a Vanity Fair, também terá uma plataforma similar, a The Scene, que vai reunir os melhores vídeos das suas revistas, além de conteúdos audiovisuais de sites parceiros da editora, como o BuzzFeed e ABC News. Outra interessada é a Time Inc.,  que deve apresentar em breve o The Daily Cut, que destacará as produções em vídeo do grupo.

O curioso é que essas empresas não tem exatamente dificuldades para produzir vídeos – só o WSJ é responsável por cerca de 18 mil novos conteúdos em vídeo todos os anos – mas sim de conseguir uma audiência extensa o suficiente para essas produções.

Será que os telespectadores serão convertidos em webspectadores?

Apesar do esforço ser louvável, Joshua Benton, diretor do Nieman Lab, provoca ao analisar um dos vídeos recentes do NYT. Ainda que seja um conteúdo divertido, as mais de 30 pessoas listadas nos créditos lembram do problema de ROI dessas iniciativas – assim como boa parte do bom jornalismo do mundo, o custo é muito maior do que o retorno do investimento.

Provavelmente a esperança é que, com a popularização de smart TVs e de caixinhas que conectam TVs tradicionais à web, esse tipo de notícia em vídeo possa ganhar alguma atenção da audiência.

Ainda que o número de telespectadores esteja em baixa, será que eles conseguirão ser convertidos em webspectadores desses vídeos informativos dos jornais?

Quanto tempo você já perdeu no Facebook?

A revista TIME resolveu comemorar os 10 anos do Facebook – que serão completados no próximo dia 4 de fevereiro – de uma maneira bem provocativa. Criou um aplicativo para calcular quanto tempo você já desperdiçou na rede social do Markinho.

Segundo a revista, um usuário gasta em média 17 minutos diários no Facebook, consumindo e publicando conteúdo. A metodologia da TIME verifica as datas dos seus posts, até atingir o mais antigo e calcular uma estimativa do tempo dedicado ao site.

O resultado pode ser assustador. A TIME diz que eu já gastei quase 28 dias no Facebook, dos 2.367 que faço parte da rede social, e já fiz mais de 11.300 publicações. Em 28 dias dava pra jogar muito videogame, então me deixou realmente preocupado.

Faça o teste aqui.
