    You love their business model or you think they're the anti-Christ of advertising. There's not a whole lot of in-between with Victors & Spoils.

  • When Was the Last Time You Updated Your Egotist Profile?

    January 27th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    It's probably time to dust it off. The talent area of the site gets thousands of hits every month from people looking for you. Put your best face forward. (By the way, it's free for anyone has yet to take advantage of setting up a profile. Do it here.)

    A few tips:

    • Make sure you select the right 'Main Specialty' in the Profile area of your setup. The selection you make will be the way you're sorted on the Talent page. You're only allowed to choose one Main Specialty.

    • Choose the right 'Other Specialties.' These will show up on your individual profile page.

    • Make it visual. You only have three pieces of work you can upload, so make them good.

    • Push people to the other places you want them following you (Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) by completing the 'Elsewhere Online' section.

    • If you don't have a website, make sure to include another contact method (email, mobile) in your 'Description.' That's assuming you want people to be able to reach you.

    • When you comment on the site, be logged in to your profile. There's no better way to get people clicking through to your profile page.

  • More Star Wars - but this time it makes sense.

    January 27th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Last week we railed a little bit about the overuse of Star Wars in advertising these days. In short, we're tired of people co-opting it. But this one by AKQA uses the Force in a way that actually makes sense. And is funny.

    To build buzz before the launch of Kinect Star Wars, Xbox AKQA created this hilarious video starring Chris Prat from “Parks and Recreation.”

    Pretty funny stuff, but can we now be done with the "Shit [fill in the blank] say" meme?

  • Eleven wins Union Bank account.

    January 26th, 2012 / Comments (1)

    Union Bank has just announced the selection of Eleven Inc. as their AOR. The local shop beat out some big names including Ogilvy, RPA and incumbent Dentsu and will be handling traditional campaigns for broadcast, print and radio, as well as interactive campaigns for digital, social and mobile platforms.

    Union Bank Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Art Smith stated, “Eleven has a well-established reputation for being able to creatively translate a growing brand’s complex business and product offerings into compelling advertising and marketing campaigns that challenge industry conventions and drive new business. Together we will communicate that Union Bank is offering a new kind of banking experience, built on a foundation of trust and integrity that dates back to 1864.”

    Congrats on the big win.
