In an industry first, john st. has launched a new cat video division, specializing in the production, filming and seeding of cat videos. Rather than opening a digital department, like other agencies, they believe this unique direction will ultimately lead to more client success. “We’ve seen phenomenal growth in this category,” says Arthur Fleischmann, President of john st. “We’re taking that learning, and applying it to our business model.” Digital advertisement created by John St, Canada for John St, within the category: Agency Self-Promo.

We took a computer vision and pattern recognition algorithm developed at Cornell University, and trained it to recognize our company logo using Machine Learning techniques based on computational neural networks. (Honestly, we thought that to be better use of an algorithm than teaching it to recognize a cat.) Then, having taught it to find our logo, we ran the algorithm backwards while showing it images of trees and snowflakes. So what's an algorithm to do if it's being run backwards while shown pictures of trees, when all it really knows how to do is recognize a company's logo? Well, being an uncomplaining machine, it does its best to find that logo. And when it doesn't find it, it tries to put one there: it starts seeing logos where there aren't any. From that chaos, the machine creates this trippy, mesmerizing effect. An entirely new art form waiting to be experimented with. Looking forward to 2017, we marvel at how newer technologies continue to transform our wonderful business, and how we will adapt and use them commercially for the benefit of our clients, and their brands.

Audi releases quattro coaster, the world’s first AR experience to interact with a TV commercial. Audi Norway has released the Audi quattro coaster AR app, making it possible for anyone to have an Audi quattro model in their driveway at any time. The app provides an interactive experience triggered by its latest television commercial. In a move to show that Audi’s technological edge is not just in its cars but in the brand’s DNA, it’s the first time a campaign has seen a moving image activate an AR experience. On watching the TV commercial, viewers’ chosen device recognize the film, at which point the car bursts out of the TV and into the user’s environment. Users can then explore the four Audi quattro models scaled between miniature or actual size, by freely moving their device without having to keep the marker in view. And finally, in life imitating screen, the AR experience allows people to create and test-drive a personalized test-track imitating all four seasons in their own living room or anywhere else they choose.

The advertising industry has always contributed to a sexist culture, creating stereotypes like the “perfect mother” and the “sexy beer girl”. It's not surprising that 65% of women don’t identify with their portrayal in traditional advertising, even though they account for 85% of all consumer purchases. Ironic, but there is an explanation: women make up for only 20% of creatives in advertising agencies in Brazil. Troubled by this scenario, Laura Florence and Camila Moletta, creative leaders at Dentsu Aegis Network, created MORE GRLS. The first roadmap to female creative talent in advertising, design and content. Mapping talents is the first step towards changing this reality. We need to know and value the creatives that, despite the hostile environment, are still working in the field. It’s important to emphasize that it is not only a "portfolio showcase", it’s also a hub for journalists and festival organizers to find the best women for their editorials and jury panels - women also face low visibility and participation in awards. The platform (www.moregrls.com.br) categorizes talents according to creative field, skills, experience and city. It also tells you who is available for freelancing or willing to move for an opportunity. The launch campaign film was directed by Juliana Curi from Damasco Filmes and included an entire set made up of only women. Besides talking about the platform, it shows how this kind of gender inequality affects the whole society, not just the advertising industry. MORE GRLS also set up goals for different stakeholders: for agencies, the goal is to have 50% of women in creative departments by 2020; for journalists in specialized media, the mission is to interview at least one creative woman per issue; for recruiters, we recommend recruiting the same number of men and women for job opportunities; and finally, our special request to clients, the ones that will truly accelerate change: watch your agency closely and make sure that the 50/50 by 2020 goal was achieved. Next steps include mapping new creative fields, take the platform to other countries and use its data to inform the industry. As with every initiative that aims to generate impact, we know there’s a lot to be done. And MORE GRLS is the first step.
