Classe C cresce mais no interior que nas capitais
Dados são destacados pelo novo estudo da NeoTV
por Andréa Valerio
Meirelles: entender a nova classe média hoje é entender a classe A e B de amanhã
‚O interior, a nova classe média e o mercado de TV por assinatura‛. Esse foi o tema da pesquisa apresentada por Renato Meirelles, sócio-
diretor do Datapopular, durante a 11ª edição do Expo e Congresso NeoTV, que começou nesta terça-feira (23), em São Paulo. Segundo o
executivo, o objetivo da pesquisa foi abordar, de forma mais aprofundada, as mudanças que vem acontecendo no país e mostrar quem são os
verdadeiros protagonistas.
Para Meirelles, entre os diferenciais do estudo está a constatação de que dois agentes foram responsáveis pela maioria das transformações.
‚Um deles é a tão falada classe media e o outro é o consumidor do interior, que tem crescido mais do que do restante do pais‛. Ele destacou
que, de acordo com o levantamento, essa parcela da população tem impulsionado todo o consumo, incluindo o de TV por assinatura.
Outro dado importante da pesquisa, segundo o executivo, são as classes A e B, que também cresceram nos últimos anos, cerca de 7%, e
devem crescer o dobro do volume nos próximos dez. Para ele, um ponto importante que precisa ser observado é que, nos próximos anos, os
consumidores das classes mais altas terão mais renda para consumir, mas o modo de pensar será o mesmo da C, já que são emergentes. ‚Por
isso, entender a nova classe média hoje é entender a classe A e B de amanhã‛, ressaltou.
Meirelles lembrou também a constatação do levantamento de que a classe média cresceu mais no interior do Brasil do que nas capitais. ‚Para
se ter uma ideia, de cada dez brasileiros da classe media, seis são do interior‛. Outro ponto detectado pela pesquisa é que o crescimento da
renda dos últimos anos permitiu a ampliação e a diversificação do consumo da classe média brasileira. Segundo o estudo, essa parcela da
população já representa 51% dos consumidores de internet e 45% dos assinantes de TV por assinatura.
Google Fiber‘s Ripple Effect
The threat of superfast Google Fiber is causing other Internet providers to crank up their own offerings.
By David Talbot on April 26, 2013
Why It Matters
The United States is 16th in the world in broadband availability, speed, and price.
As Google plans to expand its ultrafast Internet service from a fledging effort in Kansas City to Austin, Texas, and Provo, Utah, evidence is
emerging that the company has forced broadband competitors into offering dramatically better service.
New data from Akamai, which delivers a hefty portion of all Web traffic, reveals a remarkable turn of events in Kansas. In the fourth quarter of
2012, Kansas saw the largest jump in average Internet connection speeds of all U.S. states compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, with an 86
percent surge (see ‚When Will the Rest of Us Get Google Fiber?‛). The next-highest increase was in Wyoming, at 51 percent.
Google began installations in November in Kansas City, Kansas, offering one-gigabit Internet connections„nearly 100 times faster than the U.S.
average„for $70 per month, or $120 with television service, a Nexus 7 tablet remote, two terabytes of DVR storage, plus another a terabyte
of cloud storage. The rollout and TV service had been announced a few months before. ‚It could be the case that the other incumbent providers
were going, ‘Oh, crap, we stand to potentially lose subscribers to this deal with Google if we don’t provide competitive service,’ ‛ says David
Belson, who authored Akamai’s state of the Internet report.
There is no public data that gives a complete picture of the speed improvements or price reductions that Internet service providers in the
Kansas City area made in response to the beginning of the Google service, which delivers broadband over fiber-optic lines. But Susan
Crawford, a professor at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York and former special assistant for technology policy in the Obama
administration, says her research suggests that Google is indeed the driving force in the Kansas market.
In December, Time Warner Cable increased speeds of some services in the Kansas City area, boosting its ‚turbo‛ service from 15 megabits per
second to 20 megabits per second and its fastest service from 50 to 100 megabits per second. ‚I see Time Warner Cable in and around
Kansas City acting like a bulldog with a bone,‛ says Crawford, author of Captive Audience: The Telecom Industry & Monopoly Power in the
Gilded Age. ‚They want to make sure they hang onto subscribers, not lose them.‛
In general, there is plenty that the dominant Internet providers can do to provide better deals without much effort, she says. Cable companies
like Time Warner Cable and Comcast have the technical capacity to speed up service, and also plenty of room to lower prices, given the
estimate from one analyst„Craig Moffet of the Wall Street firm Bernstein Research„that they typically make 97 percent profit margins on
Internet services.
19. Babelfish Articles May 2012 - April2013 v1 15-5-13 Page 19
The competition may be even hotter in the newer Google Fiber battlegrounds. After Google announced plans for Austin (see ‚Google Fiber
Takes on Texas‛), AT&T quickly announced it would match that effort with its own one-gigabit service, and Time Warner Cable sweetened its
Internet plans with free Wi-Fi in public areas to existing customers.
Google has not disclosed how many customers it has in Kansas City, or what plans those customers bought. But Akamai was able to do some
forensic work to see just how small Google’s service footprint was, and thus just how little it took to wake up the competition.
According to Belson, in the fourth quarter of last year, Google had less than a tenth of a percent of the 800,000 Internet subscribers in
Kansas, or fewer than 800 customers. ‚Ultimately, we didn’t see enough unique IP addresses from [Google] that those speeds would have
unduly influenced the overall [speed] calculation,‛ Belson says.
Even more remarkable, perhaps, was that Google Fiber customers were using far less than the available blazing speed. IP addresses associated
with Google Fiber were seeing average connection speeds of twice the Kansas average of five megabits, and peak speeds of five times
greater than the average of 25 megabits.
Some of this might be explained by the fact that some Google Fiber customers took only a basic hookup with five-megabit service for a one-
time $300 installation fee, and did not accept the fast service. But the larger reality is that, so far, ‚there is not a whole lot of stuff out there
today that is really gigabit-capable,‛ Belson says.
Nonetheless, gigabit speeds have proved to be quite capable of waking up a nation of Internet service monopolies and duopolies (see ‚A Tale
of Two Genachowskis‛).

Not All DMPs are Created Equal: What Every Smart Marketer Should
Know
Written on Apr 26, 2013 Author Rob Gatto
ADOTAS ” As the ad-tech ecosystem has evolved over the past two to three years, I hear a lot of major brands, agencies and
networks/marketplaces asking about data management platforms (DMPs). Some have called the DMP ‚the gateway to the next step in the
evolution of digital marketing‛ or the ‚layer of technology that will literally touch and enhance every part of your business.‛ I agree that DMPs
have a long-lasting place in the industry versus being just a shiny new object, but to truly add as much value as possible, a DMP needs to
incorporate:
Data Management: The pipes for data collection, normalization, moving data around and preparation for analysis. This includes the ability to link
offline data (CRM and other first-, second-, and third-party) and online data (impressions, clicks, conversions) to help marketers better
understand purchase intent, relevant messaging, and focus on targeting those ready to convert.
Predictive Analytics: A way to truly drive insights out of the ‚big data‛ advertisers have collected in their DMP. They need to be able to
answer questions like:
Is the data I have good or bad?
How much data is there and which data should I care about?
How does my data overlay on various inventory sources?
How does my data intersect with campaigns?
Are the ‚males‛ I am targeting also the ‚females‛?
How much duplication do I have in my media buys?
What do right prospects look like? How do I find more of them?
Attribution Modeling. A way to truly keep score across the entire marketing funnel not just the last touch before a customer buys.
Understanding how brand advertising in the upper portion of the funnel effects performance at the bottom portion of the funnel is essential in
helping determine who are your best partners both for brand and direct response advertising. The interplay between each is essential to
valuing the money spent.
In my mind, when looking to choose a DMP vendor there are three things to consider:
Technology Stack: Is the solution you are looking at a standalone solution? Is this all they do or is this an ‚add on‛ to what they do day in and
day out? Was the solution built in such a way that it can scale with you and your business over time?
Neutral Platform and Integration Layer: Can the solution assemble all your media and audience data to provide a pure cross-channel view of
your entire media spend? Can the provider get access to and handle the implementation to ensure you are integrating all of your siloed
solutions and are capturing the right information from day one to take action?
Predictive Analytics: Wouldn’t it be great to know what would happen ahead of time if you moved your media buy from one inventory provider
to another or if you targeted one specific audience versus another? The ability to do ‚what if‛ analysis across your entire media budget is core
to reducing the inefficiencies that exist in all media plans. In order to find those inefficiencies and decide where to reinvest you need to be
able to leverage first/second/third party data to ensure your audience and media are aligned.
21. Babelfish Articles May 2012 - April2013 v1 15-5-13 Page 21
What many companies do not realize is the value in a DMP partner comes when the partner has the ability to get access to all their consumer
touch points and enables them to see cross-channel/inventory provider and drive actionable insights from the data. If you only get insights
into audiences bought from one specific data partner or only get analytics on your buys from one particular data/media partner you will not be
able to deliver the holistic insights to reduce inefficiencies, increase reach, and drive new sales.
The bottom line: It is the intelligence layer that goes with a DMP that will take marketers from just investing in digital media to leveraging digital
media to effectively drive brand awareness, retargeting efforts, website efficiency, and conversions. Any one feature set falls short without
the other two.
A nova mídia digital é simples
Cristiano Nobrega, sócio-fundador da TailTarget, analisa o atual momento do mercado digital e sua complexidade
Por Cristiano NobregaSócio-fundador da TailTarget
Há alguns dias ouvi a seguinte frase: "contratei uma TD que comprará mídia display por RTB, através de uma DSP conectada a todas as
principais AdExs e vamos qualificar a compra da mídia através dos perfis de uma DMP que adotamos". Para um leigo, essa frase pode soar
como algo indecifrável, contudo, essa é a nova realidade da nossa atividade e demonstra a exata dimensão de que o mercado de mídia digital
já está repleto de siglas, aparentemente bastante complexas para todos nós.
Então, como nos preparamos para participar desta nova realidade? A resposta é paradoxalmente simples e óbvia: entendendo quem são os
principais agentes dessa nova cadeia de valor e decodificando seus significados de forma objetiva. Transformações como essa, pela qual a
mídia digital está passando, dependem da adoção sistemática das novas práticas e plataformas por parte dos agentes de mercado, sejam
anunciantes, agências ou publishers. A meu ver a complexidade causada por essas novas siglas é muito maior do que deveria, o que contribui
para inibir que parte ainda significativa do mercado entenda e sinta-se mais confortável em fazer negócio nesse novo ambiente.
Decifrando esse novo ecossistema, já é possível comprar no Brasil audiências online através de lances programados em tempo real com base
em diversas especificações que asseguram o melhor valor pago para se atingir o público-alvo correto. É a chamada prática de Real Time
Bidding, ou RTB. Essas compras sistemáticas são feitas através de plataformas criadas para gerenciar esse tipo de demanda por mídia, as
chamadas DemandSidePlatforms, ou DSPs. Elas são operadas por Trading Desks (TDs), empresas ou áreas especializadas nesse novo jeito de
comprar mídia digital. Já as Ad Exchanges (AdExs) são plataformas intermediárias que disponibilizam a audiência dos websites para que essa
forma de transação ocorra.
E para que o público impactado numa campanha programada dessa maneira tenha o perfil desejado pelo anunciante, entra em cena um recurso
fundamental, a DMP (Data Management Platform). Esse tipo de plataforma processa incontáveis volumes de dados (big data) provenientes da
navegação dos internautas e de suas interações online com a marca do anunciante, a fim de padronizar e qualificar o perfil da audiência. Isso
cria inteligência para o negócio e permite que o lance de compra oferecido encontre, não importa onde, um perfil de público inequivocamente
desejado sem dispersão, otimizando os investimentos publicitários.
Portanto os pilares dessa nova forma de operar a mídia digital continuam sendo os mesmos de sempre: de um lado a audiência dos websites
ou publishers (oferta), do outro os anunciantes e agências (demanda), passando pelos dados de qualificação da audiência (segmentação). Afinal
o que muda na prática é a intensidade com que os dados e a tecnologia são aplicados para tornar a publicidade online muito mais dinâmica,
precisa e, claro, simples.
What Happened When One Man Pinged the Whole Internet
A home science experiment that probed billions of Internet devices reveals that thousands of industrial and business systems offer remote
access to anyone.
Call response: The approximate location of some of the 460 million responses to a survey of Internet devices carried out by an anonymous
hacker.
By Tom Simonite on April 26, 2013
22. Babelfish Articles May 2012 - April2013 v1 15-5-13 Page 22
Why It Matters
Many company’s IT systems have largely unknown and easily hackable backdoors.
You probably haven’t heard of HD Moore, but up to a few weeks ago every Internet device in the world, perhaps including some in your own
home, was contacted roughly three times a day by a stack of computers that sit overheating his spare room. ‚I have a lot of cooling equipment
to make sure my house doesn’t catch on fire,‛ says Moore, who leads research at computer security company Rapid7. In February last year he
decided to carry out a personal census of every device on the Internet as a hobby. ‚This is not my day job; it’s what I do for fun,‛ he says.
Moore has now put that fun on hold. ‚[It] drew quite a lot of complaints, hate mail, and calls from law enforcement,‛ he says. But the data
collected has revealed some serious security problems, and exposed some vulnerable business and industrial systems of a kind used to control
everything from traffic lights to power infrastructure.
Moore’s census involved regularly sending simple, automated messages to each one of the 3.7 billion IP addresses assigned to devices
connected to the Internet around the world (Google, in contrast, collects information offered publicly by websites). Many of the two terabytes
(2,000 gigabytes) worth of replies Moore received from 310 million IPs indicated that they came from devices vulnerable to well-known flaws,
or configured in a way that could to let anyone take control of them.
On Tuesday, Moore published results on a particularly troubling segment of those vulnerable devices: ones that appear to be used for business
and industrial systems. Over 114,000 of those control connections were logged as being on the Internet with known security flaws. Many could
be accessed using default passwords and 13,000 offered direct access through a command prompt without a password at all.
Those vulnerable accounts offer attackers significant opportunities, says Moore, including rebooting company servers and IT systems,
accessing medical device logs and customer data, and even gaining access to industrial control systems at factories or power infrastructure.
Moore’s latest findings were aided by a similar dataset published by an anonymous hacker last month, gathered by compromising 420,000
pieces of network hardware.
The connections Moore was looking for are known as serial servers, used to connect devices to the Internet that don’t have that functionality
built in. ‚Serial servers act as glue between archaic systems and the networked world,‛ says Moore. ‚[They] are exposing many organizations
to attack.‛ Moore doesn’t know whether the flaws he has discovered are being exploited yet, but has released details on how companies can
scan their systems for the problems he uncovered.
Joel Young, chief technology officer of Digi International, manufacturer of many of the unsecured serial servers that Moore found, welcomed
the research, saying it had helped his company understand how people were using its products. ‚Some customers that buy and deploy our
products didn’t follow good security policy or practices,‛ says Young. ‚We have to do more proactive education for customers about security.‛
Young says his company sells a cloud service that can give its products a private, secured connection away from the public Internet. However,
he also said that Digi would continue to ship products with default passwords, because it made initial setup smoother, and that makes
customers more likely to set their own passwords. ‚I haven’t found a better way,‛ he says.
23. Babelfish Articles May 2012 - April2013 v1 15-5-13 Page 23
Billy Rios, a security researcher who works on industrial control systems at security startup company Cylance, says Moore’s project provides
valuable numbers to quantify the scale of a problem that is well-known to experts like himself but underappreciated by companies at risk.
Rios says that in his experience, systems used by more ‚critical‛ facilities such as energy infrastructure are just as likely to be vulnerable to
attack as those used for jobs such as controlling doors in a small office. ‚They are using the same systems,‛ he says.
Removing serial servers from the public Internet so that they are accessed through a private connection could prevent many of the easiest
attacks, says Rios, but attackers could still use various techniques to steal the necessary credentials.
The new work adds to other significant findings from Moore’s unusual hobby. Results he published in January showed that around 50 million
printers, games consoles, routers, and networked storage drives are connected to the Internet and easily compromised due to known flaws in a
protocol called Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). This protocol allows computers to automatically find printers, but is also built into some security
devices, broadband routers, and data storage systems, and could be putting valuable data at risk.
Data collected by Moore’s survey has also helped Rapid7 colleagues identify how a piece of software called FinFisher was used by law
enforcement and intelligence agencies to spy on political activists. It also helped unmask the control structure for a long-running campaign
called Red October that infiltrated many government systems in Europe.
Moore believes the security industry is overlooking some rather serious, and basic, security problems by focusing mostly on the computers
used by company employees. ‚It became obvious to me that we’ve got some much bigger issues,‛ says Moore. ‚There [are] some fundamental
problems with how we use the Internet today.‛ He wants to get more people working to patch up the backdoors that are putting companies at
risk.
However, Moore has no plans to probe the entire Internet again. Large power and Internet bills, and incidents such the Chinese government’s
Computer Emergency Response Team asking U.S. authorities to stop Moore ‚hacking all their things‛ have convinced him it’s time to find a
new hobby. However, with plenty of data left to analyze, there will likely be more to reveal about the true state of online security, says Moore:
‚We’re sitting on mountains of new vulnerabilities.‛
Retail executive lays out the future of content curation.
Carrie Whitehead, Zappos on April 25, 2013.
If you think about it, fashion may actually be THE industry that started the curation trend ” we just didn’t know it at the time. How could we?
‚Curation‛ is a relatively new term, but it’s finding its way into other realms; you hear about content curation, music curation ” all meaning that
in some way, these industries are personalizing their offer according to your individual wants, needs and likes.
Online retail has given us the ability to find almost anything we’d want to buy. In fact, offering a great selection has become the goal for many
online retailers. The largest online retailer, Amazon.com has a vision to be the ‘Earth’s Biggest Selection.’ But is this vast selection too
overwhelming for shoppers? A search for ‘black dress’ in Clothing & Accessories on Amazon.com brings back 65,529 results! For consumers,
this large number of choices can lead to confusion, exhaustion and dissatisfied purchases, or worse, no purchase at all.
With new retailers, designers and online experiences launching daily, the need for easy discovery of relevant fashion is more important than
ever. Shoppers are increasingly turning to experiences that offer a smaller set of tailored selections to help find the product that is just right
for them according to their individual wants, needs and likes. A tailored experience is no longer just a desire for shoppers, it is an expectation.
24. Babelfish Articles May 2012 - April2013 v1 15-5-13 Page 24
Frank & Oak Style recomendations
Curated retail is nothing new. Traditional brick and mortar stores have always relied on strategic merchandise presentation, attractive window
displays and helpful sales associates to grab their customer’s attention and help them discover new products. Although online stores may not
have the advantage of this physical and in-person appeal, they are using consumer data, advanced technologies and social media to take the
curated experience to the next level.
Large retailers are looking at how they can offer a more tailored experience around their existing inventory. Zappos recently launched Glance, a
shopping experience allowing users to discover the most exciting products from Zappos through curated collections. In addition to hand-picked
collections, Glance allows users to heart products they love; ultimately allowing shoppers to discover products hearted by others with similar
taste or by what is popular within the community.
Retailers are also turning to a limited product mix to offer a more tailored experience. Niche retailers such as Warby Parker (retro-inspired
eyewear) and Frank & Oak (quality menswear) are providing a boutique experience with a price tag that’s accessible.
Many websites focus on narrowed discovery by offering products chosen by celebrities, industry experts or the social community. Social
shopping site OpenSky taps celebrities and influencers to select the products they love. Fancy, a social photo site similar to Pinterest, puts
curation in the hands of the community. Its goal is to connect users with similar tastes and allow them to purchase the things they like.
25. Babelfish Articles May 2012 - April2013 v1 15-5-13 Page 25
All of the examples above help shoppers discover products that are more relevant to them. Additionally, because these experiences are hand
tailored ” in some cases by someone the shopper knows ” they are more likely to purchase the product or share with their friends.
Although there will always be a need for the multi-category mass retail experience, curated online shopping is a huge trend that will continue to
help consumers navigate the incredible selection to find what’s right for them. As online shopping behavior changes, retailers will continue to
find ways to provide easy-to-use, highly personalized experiences that offer customers what they want, where they want it. Combining an
online shopper’s history and preferences with human touch will lead to the perfect answer to the question, ‚What is right for me?‛

online shopping.
Six Current and Six Rapidly Expanding Trends Marketers Should Focus
On
Posted on April 25, 2013
Image(Originally delivered at the Publicis Investor Conference in London on April 23, 2013)
It is clear to everyone today that six forces are driving the future. These are that the world is, and it will become more
a) Digital
b) Networked and connected
c) Mobile
26. Babelfish Articles May 2012 - April2013 v1 15-5-13 Page 26
d) Social ( we live in a people network age)
e) Driven by emerging markets
f) People powered as tech democratizes everything and empowers people
Now we are anticipating six key drivers of the future that build on the original six trends. And we are building our future strategy around these
six new realities.
1. The future is not just increasingly digital but it is integrating with analog (Digital Leakage)
Mobile phones make place and people important. E commerce and regular commerce blend. Amazon has stores and Walmart goes digital.
Alibaba in China is spans real world and digital world. People remain filled with analog feelings in a digital world. All this places a premium on
those who can combine TQ (Tech Q), IQ and EQ (Emotion Quotient). Brands and stories will matter greatly since in the end its about people and
‚we tell each other stories in order to live‛ (Joan Didion) and ‚we choose with our hearts and use numbers to justify what we just did‛ (Blaise
Pascal).
2 .The future is less about marketing and more about facilitating self marketing
People use search and social, to learn and speak to each other about products and services. They self market using people’s networks like
Facebook, blogs, Twitter, Yelp and much more. Clients must ensure that their Brands are easily accessible, responsive and broadly distributed
in this world. Are you facilitating self marketing. In a transparent world authenticity is what matters. How can brands remain relevant and
authentic?
3. Advertising will be less about messages and more about content curation, creation and distribution, and increasingly about utilities and
services.
Acts not just ads will be key. Brands increasingly will develop digital products and services such as Amex open forum and Nike Fuel Band.
Mobility, Participation and API’s (Application Protocol Interfaces) will allow new ways to tell stories, engage and deliver value to consumers.
Experiences will rule.
4.The future of TV will be even more but powerful will be very different and come from the slime (IP TV) and be multi-glass.
Look at Amazon, You Tube, Netflix, Twitter (and their global equivalents) for where TV is going. Look at the app ecosystem that consumers
are getting used to on their phones and tablets as a new way to engage with TV’s. Look at the 13 to 18 year olds who watch more Internet TV
than broadcast TV to see future behaviors. A world of on demand, multi glass (screens, devices like Google Glass and new wearable
computing) , and full seasons released at one time. Glass will not just be connected to each other and to IP networks but to many of our
devices like cars!
5. The future will be about more access and less ownership
Consumers increasingly want access to content (Spotify, Netflix etc.) or things (Zip car etc.) rather than just ownership. This will also be true in
the world of big data. It will be how to access and combine rather than own the right data in real time to help deliver services and predict
customer behavior. Finally. marketers will want to be both accessible and look to partners who can provide them with access to global
partnerships and opportunities key
6.Marketing a huge growth category
This is a growth game and not a share game as empowered consumers call for empowered marketing. To grow in a networked world
collaboration and friends rather than ‚frenemies‛ (you are or you are not pregnant…odd this ‚frenemy‛ thing)
The future world will not only make marketing more effective but will make brand-building story telling more compelling and to prepare for this
huge growth we are aligning behind three pillars of a) Commerce+, where marketing is commerce and commerce is marketing, b) Next
Generation Story Telling which leverage mobility, participation and API’s and c) Content (Creation, distribution and measurement across glass
which in some cases will be screens, in some cases will be glasses like Google Glass, and in some cases will be devices like new iWatches) .
The future of marketing will be bright. Now all of us marketers have to be bright enough in learning, re-inventing and collaborating to remain
relevant and truly unleash this potential!

Simple Ways to Achieve a Brainstorming Breakthrough
Design, General | Adam Hansen | 04/23/13
mmblog_brainstorm
Although brainstorming is an essential process, it’s not always an easy one. Snatching ultra-creative concepts out of thin air takes a unique
approach and mindset. At MM, we’re constantly kicking our brainstorming sessions into high gear to produce great work for our clients. We’d
love to share some of our favorite brainstorming techniques that will help you think outside of the box, while giving your productivity a rocket-
like boost.
Remember while brainstorming that there are no bad ideas. We repeat: there are no bad ideas. This is an old adage for good reason.
Brainstorming should be used to get every last idea out of your brain and into the world„ all ideas should be welcomed and accepted,
regardless of how wonky they may be. In a group, picking apart someone’s suggestions can quickly shut down creativity and stall the process.
That’s not what brainstorming is all about.
At MM we strive to create an open environment where no one is afraid to contribute and everyone is heard. Even if you think an idea is crazy,
throw it out there. It often kickstarts someone else’s thought process or evolves into a viable concept later on.
While brainstorming, surround yourself with items that will facilitate the process. A whiteboard is a great visual tool to collect all of your ideas,
concepts, and drawings down in one place. It’s also an asset later when you start to pare down ideas and explore more specific possibilities.
It never hurts to have something to doodle on while you think. Sometimes ideas manifest themselves visually, and a quick sketch will explain
the concept in a way that words can’t. Doodling allows your mind to wander and work on ideas subconsciously. If you’re not a doodler, use
something else while brainstorming to help put your mind to work„here at the lab, our weapons of choice are Play-Doh and sketching tables.
If you get stuck, call on other brainstorming exercises to get back on track. Word association is a great way to revitalize an idea session.
Write down a few different words that can be associated with your project’s theme and branch off from them. The same could be done with an
image„pick a photo or graphic and describe it. You might be surprised at how often these new descriptors can be readily applied to your own
ideas.
You could also jump-start idea generation by playing a game. Apples to Apples is a great example. It features cards with many words and
phrases that you can apply to your work. It may result in some interesting ideas that wouldn’t otherwise come up. The electronic game
Catchphrase, is another way to get your brain out of the mundane muck of monotonous thinking.
Don’t hesitate to step aside and take a break if your brain just isn’t functioning. As mentioned earlier, you work on problems subconsciously.
You often produce better results absentmindedly as opposed to forcing yourself to plug away. Go get some food or grab a coffee. Working on
a different project or in a new location is another great way to gain new perspective and inspiration.

Coke Runs First All-Digital Effort, Focusing on Teens and Mobile
Beverage giant debuts multi-year initiative
By Christopher HeineApril 23, 2013, 1:48 PM EDTTechnology
Coca-Cola has emerged from an extensive round of teen panels and believes it knows what those kids want from the brand„fun, "snackable"
digital experiences that center on mobile consumption over desktops. The beverage firm today unveiled "The AHH Effect" initiative with agency
partner Wieden + Kennedy that will eventually include dozens of digital games and other content based on their recent research.
Pio Schunker, svp of integrated marketing communications at Coca-Cola North America, put the effort into historical perspective for the brand
this morning during an online presentation. "Very importantly, this is going to mark the first all-digital campaign by Coca-Cola," he said. "And
critically, this signals a whole new way in which we've decided to create marketing content."
Schunker added: "Mobile phones are [teens'] lifelines. It's not that they don't watch TV. But mobile is their first screen."
Seventeen digital experiences, such as games called "Ice Toss" and "Guide the Bubble," are live today via dedicated sites that involve images
that could be described as interesting if not random or even kaleidoscopic. To be clear, while Coke believes most of the activity will happen on
smartphones and tablets, the effort can be accessed from desktops. A digital media push involving 19 teen-friendly media partners like Alloy,
Vevo, Buzzfeed, Facebook and Twitter will be in the offing, while a 15-second video teaser went live this morning.
What's more, Coke marketers envision this content-based strategy to be long term. "The goal is for this to be a multi-year campaign,"
Schunker said.
In the coming weeks, Coke will utilize paid and owned media via Facebook and Twitter to encourage teens to create their own software-based
experiences for the brand. Out of the submissions, 25 will be selected to be included in "The AHH Effect" run. Eventually, there will be 61 such
experiences with a dedicated AHH.com destination„each new addition will add an "H" to the URL. So yes, the 12th experience will have a URL
entailing a dozen Hs.
Schunker explained, "We will be refreshing these 61 experiences and optimizing them throughout the year as well as in the future in a way that
we hope will continuously tap into a teen's desire for discovery, constant stimulation, novelty as well as recognition."
29. Babelfish Articles May 2012 - April2013 v1 15-5-13 Page 29
Twice a week, the brand will analyze the content while switching out mediocre performers for more-promising items. The content will be
modeled from a mobile-first perspective and attempt to appeal to modern teens' famously short attention spans. To hear Schunker describe it,
Coke is setting up a content lab focusing on teens and mobile.
"This is meant to be a constantly iterating campaign," he said. "We fully expect to end up in a completely different place compared to where we
started."
Lastly, the campaign does have one small offline element. Beginning in May, Coke's 16- and 20-ounce products will feature "AHH" moments to
drive fans to the AHH.com URLs.
Agency briefs must improve
NEW YORK: Marketers need to improve the briefs they produce in order to get better work from their agencies, according to a new industry
survey.
Joanne Davis Consulting in New York gathered replies from 293 agency leaders around the world, asking them to rank clients on various
issues, including integration, procurement, compensation and agency consolidation.
Assignment briefs, reported Advertising Age, were consistently highlighted as an area for improvement, with most agencies expressing a
degree of frustration about their quality, and none able to report that briefs were always complete and focused.
Some 53% of agencies said their briefs were complete but lacking in focus, and a further 27% found them incomplete and inconsistent. Just
20% said briefs were complete and focused most of the time.
One reason for this may be a dearth of strategic thinking in the marketing community, with a majority of agencies believing that clients' abilities
in this regard are at best "adequate" if not "limited". Only 3% rated their clients as excellent in this field.
Few agencies, however, were beyond improvement on their own side. When asked how they could better meet clients' needs, just 10% said no
major changes were planned.
But a quarter felt they needed more diversified expertise, while 34% wanted more diversified expertise and technology. In all, 31% said they
needed more diversified expertise, technology and training.
The findings of the survey echo a presentation given at Warc's recent Measuring Advertising Performance event. Jeremy Caplin of Aprais told
the audience that good clients get great work from their agencies while poor ones do not.
Caplin claimed that creative output from an agency is 37% better from the bottom to the top 10% of clients.
Like Joanne Davis Consulting, he identified the quality of briefing as an area that was vital in the make-up of a good client. Others included the
approval process, timing and behaviour.

Excerpted from BIG DATA: A Revolution That Will Transform How We
Live, Work, and Think by Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, Kenneth Cukier.
Computer systems currently base their decisions on rules they have been explicitly programmed to follow. Thus when a decision goes awry, as
is inevitable from time to time, we can go back and figure out why the computer made it. For example, we can investigate questions like ‚Why
did the autopilot system pitch the plane five degrees higher when an external sensor detected a sudden surge in humidity?‛ Today’s computer
code can be opened and inspected, and those who know how to interpret it can trace and comprehend the basis for its decisions, no matter
how complex.
With big-data analysis, however, this traceability will become much harder. The basis of an algorithm’s predictions may often be far too
intricate for the average human to understand.
When computers were explicitly programmed to follow sets of instructions, as with IBM’s early translation program of Russian to English in
1954, a human could readily grasp why the software substituted one word for another. But Google Translate incorporates billions of pages of
