Good-bye, Ronaldo !

O Fenomeno (The Phenomenon) played his last football (soccer) match of his career on a friendly between Brazil and Romania on June 7, 2011.

Stylish, clean, trendy and somewhat pricey (Tok&Stok charges extra for home delivery and assembly), its stores a kind of urban-oasis where you can simply disconnect from the hectic world and plunge into a calm and inspiring ambience. 

The campaign’s name is self-explanatory: easy to assemble furnitures, whose manuals can be found on twitter, in 140 chars, including a link to the diagram.

Trends: Time-saving, unloading (info), planet-saving, money-saving.

Great job DM9DBB and Tok&Stok: when creativity meets courage, low-budget is just a detail.

Reaching male (and female) grocery-shoppers in-and-out of store

A recent article by Advertising Age points that 51% of men are primary grocery shoppers, but only few believe that advertising speaks to them.

What to do if you are a marketer living through a stressful, recession-hit period? You can simply keep your eyes closed and maintain your traditional message and see it turn less-and-less effective or get your head totally outside of the box…and the carts out of the store!)

In Brazil (and other emerging markets), it’s a different story.
The economy is booming, credit is rising and consumers are eager to fulfill their needs and enjoy the next week’s bargains on retailers’ TV ads, but some niche, luxury retailers could definitely be inspired by this integrated campaign.
Moreover, the pressure coming from budget cuts and above-target sales also demand for non-traditional solutions, one more reason Brazilian marketers open their eyes.

Let Saatchi & Saatchi of Milan, Italy and Carrefour show us how a retailer can impact both Men and Women with a low-cost and highly creative, integrated campaign posted  by ibelieveinadv . Enjoy the show!

Como atingir o shopper masculino (e o feminino também) dentro e fora do PDV

Um artigo recente da Advertising Age (em inglês) indica que 51% dos homens é o shopper primário nos supermercados, mas somente uma pequena parcela acredita que a comunicação é dirigida a eles.

O que fazer, se você é um executivo de marketing num ambiente atingido pelo stress da recessão? 

Bem, podemos simplesmente fechar nossos olhos e seguir com a mesma e tradicional mensagem, vendo a mesma perder sua efetividade com o passar do tempo..ou podemos pensar fora da caixa (e tirar os carrinhos da loja!)

Com as economias dos mercados-emergentes (e Brasil, claro!) em descolamento da recessão dos países-desenvolvidos é muito mais simples para o varejo anunciar as ofertas da semana e surfar na onda do boom ”crédito-consumo”, por outro lado, as multinacionais reportam seus lucros e resultados para suas respectivas matrizes e estas quase sempre estão em ambiente recessivo nos dias de hoje. Mais uma razão para os profissionais de marketing abrirem os olhos.

Outro detalhe: No Brasil, embora não haja recessão, vemos um crescente aumento de lares monoparentais e por outras razões sócio-demográficas, é possível que os homens também estejam ganhando importância como shopper primário nos supermercados.
