7-Eleven's CMO plans to meet evolving consumers by doubling marketing spend - Marketing Dive

Image
Convenience store chain 7-Eleven today launches a new 360-degree marketing campaign that ends the brand's six-year hiatus from TV advertising. "Take It To Eleven" includes spots featuring members of different subcultures expressing themselves in 7-Eleven parking lots that were helmed by film director Harmony Korine ("Spring Breakers," "Kids"). Informed by research into consumer attitudes and behaviors that continue to be affected by the pandemic, the effort — part of a planned doubling in marketing spend this year — is a back-to-basics approach for the brand. "It is really a continuation of what the brand has always been about for 94 years," CMO Marissa Jarratt said. "We've always been obsessed with our customers, we have always had them at the core, and we've really always tried to go above and beyond to delight our customers and to give them what they need, when they need it, where they need it." Jarratt, who joine...

Alexa, is it warm in here? Amazon Super Bowl ad turns hot ‘Black Panther’ star into an Echo device - GeekWire

Image
Actor Michael B. Jordan stars in an Amazon Super Bowl commercial called "Alexa's Body" promoting the new design for Echo smart speakers. (Amazon screen shot) The disembodied voice of Amazon's Alexa may have finally found a vessel suitable for helping with recipes, turning on the lawn sprinklers, or reading an audio book in the bathtub. His name is Michael B. Jordan. Jordan is the red-hot actor perhaps best known for his role as the villain Erik Killmonger in Marvel's "Black Panther." After Super Bowl Sunday, a certain segment of the population might just call him That Amazon Guy. In a 60-second spot called "Alexa's Body," below, Jordan stars as a daydream version of Alexa's new form factor. The actual device was unveiled last fall during the tech giant's annual Devices & Services event when Amazon showed off spherical versions of the Echo and Echo Dot smart speakers.

Amazon Alexa's global campaign bridges the mundane and the magical - Campaign US

Image
The epic and the ordinary collide in Amazon Alexa's global campaign aimed at people who are new to voice technology.  The ads, created by Droga5 London, playfully illustrate Alexa's ability to help people achieve things with only their voice. The clash between everyday life and fantastical realms represents how Alexa can unlock different worlds for its users.  "Ironing" takes place during an elvish warrior's last moments of life, while a sweeping battle rages around him. As he bids a dramatic farewell to the woman he loves, a man watching nearby from an ironing board orders the lovers to play out the death scene again and again. The action cuts away from the battle to the man's living room, where it is revealed he is watching the scene on TV and asking Alexa to replay it for him.  In the second spot, "Opera", a protagonist goes back in time to interrupt an 18th-century opera singer and ask her to change the song to something more fun – all fr...

Facebook profit nearly doubles as user ranks grow but Apple could spoil party - The Straits Times

Image
SAN FRANCISCO (AFP, REUTERS) - Facebook beat Wall Street expectations for both quarterly revenue and profit on Wednesday (April 28) but warned that growth later this year could "significantly" decline as new Apple Inc privacy policies will make it more difficult to target ads. A surge in digital ad spending during the pandemic when consumers shopped online, along with higher ad prices, helped Facebook revenue surge 48 per cent. Looking ahead, the world's largest social network said it will focus on building e-commerce features to expand beyond its ad business. Shares of Facebook rose 6.5 per cent to US$326.00 in extended trading on Wednesday. "We have a long way to go to build out a full-featured commerce platform ... but I am very committed to getting there," Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg told analysts on a conference call to discuss earnings. Total revenue, which primarily consists of ad sales, hit US$26.17 billion in the first q...

Ex-RBS CMO David Wheldon on why agencies mustn't lose sight of creative basics - The Drum

Image
Fresh from being awarded the special title of President Emeritus from the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA), former RBS chief marketing officer and advertising legend David Wheldon reflects on his marketing legacy, as well as the need for agencies to position themselves as creative partners first and foremost in today's climate. With more than 35 years in the marketing industry, David Wheldon has had no shortage of titles to his name. He cut his teeth as an account executive at Saatchis during its 80s heydays. Since then he's been president of BBDO in Europe, director of advertising for Coca-Cola, Vodafone's global director of brand and, most recently, chief marketing officer at RBS. Last year, he was bestowed the Lifetime Achievement prize at The Drum Marketing Awards Lifetime, and last week he was named President Emeritus by the WFA – the global marketing membership organization he presided over for four years. The latter is an accolade that has only been hand...

MarTech Today's daily brief features daily insights, news, tips, and essential bits of wisdom for today's digital marketer. If you would like to read this before the rest of the internet does, sign up here to get it delivered to your inbox daily. Good morning, Marketers, and are you ready for three-dimensional warfare? The gloves are off between Apple and Facebook. With the implementation of new App Tracking Transparency policies, Apple has created a situation in which Facebook can only track user activity across multiple apps if the user goes out of his or her way to opt in to being surreptitiously surveilled.  With over 80% of users accessing Facebook via mobile phone, this could massively degrade Facebook's ability to target by interest and behavior, and thereby degrade the value of its ad inventory. According to the New York Times, Mark Zuckerberg has disputed that his company's business will be hurt by Apple's policy — but then Zuckerberg has said quite ...
