BALENCIAGA FALL 2013 RTW

GM made huge waves across the industry when they announced earlier this week that they are pulling their $10MM Facebook ad spend. Many industry journalists are inferring it simply wasn't working for GM, and feels they are walking away too soon. Forbes has an interesting perspective, but they do call out that GM came under criticism from Facebook for having multiple agencies manage their Facebook ads.

My take: Facebook initially launched pages that brands could build with the intention that anyone who "liked" (or at the beginning, became a 'Fan" of) the page would receive any communication being distributed from it. They encouraged brands to build ad campaigns on Facebook around getting "likes" so the brand could be in constant contact with their audience. Then Facebook started reducing brands reach, and they were only able to communicate with a fraction of the audience that "liked" their page. Then recently Facebook announced that brands can get reach again, but they will pay handsomely for it. GM is taking a stand. One of our clients even refers to the social net as the "Facebook Mafia," and GM is simply reacting to a business model that has little respect for the advertisers that fund it. I expect to see at least one more big brand follow in suit, but as a whole, Facebook will carry on as they have; making up the rules as they go, and continuing to make it increasingly difficult to prove direct ROI from a Facebook-centric marketing campaign.

An interesting move on GM's part. If they're not taking a stand, however, this is premature. A great move in principle, but that's it.

It's JESUS! Oh, wait...or is it just Harry Dean Stanton?

kellyoxford:

Huh? Wha? That is some scary shit right there, but I’ll tell you something? It isn’t Jesus. If it’s someone who is alive, it’s a wide eyed Harry Dean Stanton, but I don’t even think this ghoul is him. No, it isn’t Jesus, Jesus was hot. I would have had sex with Jesus. That’s a face, alright,...

Subway signs that I wish were legitimate.

I’ll never understand why people think nail clipping on the subway is okay.

If social networking has taught us anything it's to share. Well, share and have really pretentious opinions about everything.

So couple that with a love of food, the taste, the look, the makers, the servers, the creative process...ok pretention has set in. Apologies.

But let me ask you, when you walk into a restaurant and the first thing you see is a Mustachioed bartender...you know you're likely getting a pretty good drink, right? You know you're thinking, "I bet he makes one hell of a gimlet!" C'mon admit it.

Well Zagat has identified some of the more ridic trends you might see doing some trendy dining in NYC. My fave has to be the Iceless Table Water. Really people? Why can't I have ice? It's not like I asked for lemon at Sushi Yasuda - I just want some gd ice for my water. "All of a sudden, it’s as if liking ice in your water makes you a T.G.I. Friday’s–going rube. What gives, man?"

Enjoy the read, and tell me the funniest trends you've noticed on the NY fine dine scene. :)
