Attune Bar's Fonts Choice


Here are some fonts that I believe would look great in our attune campaign, what do you think?

The backwards brief ---- Michele Manila

http://www.explorenavajo.com --- The backwards brief ---- Michele Manila


WHY DOES NAVAJO WANT TO ADVERTISE?
Navjo is in Arizona. Arizona is often stereotyped for its elder population & sticky humidity.
In reality - arizona is so much more. The desert brings out the stillness of the sunrise and sunset. The clean landscape against a blue sky is so relaxing that it takes you to another place. Navajo is a sacred place where everything has a symbolic meaning. While the landscape shows a place of reflection and serenity, the culture of the Navajo Tribe is astonishing. Come taste he place of the Native Indians, try their food, practice ancient healing, and attend an authentic pow-wow. Come visit the land and let the experiences lead you to your next.

TO WHOM?
Original cultural adventurists
A text book or series on the Discovery channel just isn't enough for the Original Cultural Adventurists.
Because to them, noting is more fulfilling than taking a breath-full of culture. From food to letting go of everyday norms and commodities, they thrive when they can get hand's on experience.

WHAT ARE SOME INSIGHTS?
Their homes are full of sentimental art & keeps-capes collected from their travels.
Other interests: Road trips, biking, hikes, camping, or a visiting a museum. They might also be found at the Library or any type of book store. They do a great deal of research before visiting another culture.

BIG IDEA
Let the lands of the Navajo, speak to you.

WHAT WILL THE ADVERTISING ACCOMPLISH?
A rise in Arizona state revenue through tourism. Money goes to support locals and the land of the Navajo Tribe


WHAT ELSE SUPPORTS THIS MESSAGE?
Visitors can hear the traditional language because it is still largely spoken throughout the region, although most Navajo speak English fluently as well.
can witness original housing. Navajo lived in round houses known as hogans. Hogans are houses of forked poles and brush covered with earth. According to Kehoe, this style of housing is distinctive to the Navajo, even going as far as saying that, “even today, a solidly constructed, log walled Hogan is preferred by many Navajo families.” (Kehoe, 133) However, the Navajo have another style of housing. Around the 17th century, the Navajo built rectangular stone homes known as pueblitos. These pueblitos are believed to have been adopted by the Navajos from Pueblo culture, and resemble small Pueblo houses. (Kehoe, 133)
can leave home dressed in silver & tourquoise
Silversmithing is said to have been introduced to the Navajo while they were in captivity at Fort Sumner in eastern New Mexico in 1864. At that time Atsidi Sani learned silversmithing and began teaching others the craft as well. By 1880 Navajo silversmiths were creating handmade jewelry including bracelets, tobacco flasks, necklaces, bow guards. Later smiths also made earrings, buckles, bolos, hair ornaments and pins. Turquoise has been used with jewelry by the Navajo for hundreds of years, but they did not use turquoise inlay, in silver, until the past century.

The Hauser Group - Georgia



Why are we advertising?
To introduce Motorola's Talkabout. People are unaware that Motorola has "walkie-talkies."

What do we hope to accomplish?
Not many people have a need or desire to use a "walkie-talkie" unless they are children. We need to spread the awareness of the Talkabout and how it is functional and reliable.

Target:
The Team Players:
These people work together and play well with others. They need to communicate. They depend on communicating to get their jobs done.

insights:
There main mode of communication is cell phones, because they already have one, but these team players aren't just sitting around they are out and about. They work or play in rough environments - dense woods, out in the ocean, places where they can't rely on reception towers.
Also, they don't communicate for fun or to gossip, but mostly because staying connected in the different environments they are in ensure their safety.

Key message:
Helping you stay connected where ever you are.

Supporting facts:
Uses FRS and GMRS frequencies - ideal emergency preparedness tool.
A range up to 25 miles.
Emergency alert feature.
Flashlight.
22 channels
11 weather channels
Hands free communication
Quiet talk filter

Tone:
Rugged, dependable, sarcastic, must have

I decided to branch off of Wieden+Kennedy in Portland, their current campaign for Target. Along with their holiday commercials (Black Friday spots), they also are doing a promotion for Pearl Jam and their CDs. Pearl Jam held a secret, intimate concert at the Showbox in Seattle, WA and they played in front of a green screen where W+K was able to put the target icon on the screen in the back.

Here is the link to the original TV spot:

http://www.wk.com/campaign/pearl_jam

And I decided to make a poster for the concert itself.

AKQA

AKQA is a global agency with brances in SF, NY, Washington D.C., London, Amsterdam and Shanghai. Their San Francisco office is located at 118 King Street.
Since Rei Inamoto was guest speaker at the ADC screening this year, I think most of you are familiar with their work, but they have major clients such as VW, Coca Cola, NHL, ESPN, Fiat, Gap, Heineken, Virgin, VISA, Nike and McDonalds.

They specialize in interactive advertising, as well as creating games and applications. They've won numerous awards, including the One Show best of show in the interactive category for the Fiat Eco Drive.

t3

I also didn't know we were to post this here.

T3 San Francisco
Austin, TX and New York, NY

Some clients:
Ford
Universal Orlando
Microsoft
JCPenny
Intel

Most of their ads are online ads, websites, viral video, events, sweepstakes, and some print.
This is a link to their website and their latest award winning campaign:
http://www.t-3.com/work/view/marriott/reveal_renaissance

They are a very graphic design heavy agency with a strong backbone for strategy.
From the T3 website, "T3 works to ensure that strategy, creative, analytics, media
and search work together to not just reach, but measurably connect to your audiences."

josie - heat


CONDE NAST


EA SPORTS




CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES


Did no realize we had to post our agency, thought we were doing it in class.

HEAT
sfheat.com

This small, local agency does branding, mass marketing and advertising. Some of their major clients are EA Sports, California Academy of Sciences, Conde Nast, Vogue, Wired, Adobe , GQ, Cinemax.

Many of their medias include TV, Print and Interactive. For instance, Heat launched many EA Sports games, such as Need For Speed, Army of Two, Dead Space, Skate. For local clients, such as California Academy of Sciences, they have done the re-branding and advertising for the opening premiere. Their continuing advertising includes MUNI takeovers and print, in terms of posters and street post lamp banners.

Red Tettemer Laurel Hill Cemetery

I chose to branch off of the Red Tettemer Laurel Hill Cemetery campaign. The first one is a billboard/environment piece (it is a plaque on a granite stone) The second is my two page spread.

(Not too bad for a copy writer I must say...)




Ohio Agency

I branched off barefoot proximity's campaign for Mickey's Malt Liquor.
It was an interactive campaign geared toward 21-25 year old men giving them advice on
what NOT to do. I made a coaster (last image)to go with it.

SF Agency _Pereira & O'Dell_ Michele

CREATIVES / ACCOUNT PLANN

Pereira & O'Dell

217 2nd Street
San Francisco CA, 94105
415.284.9916

The people behind O'Dell have a range in background experience in the industry, but have the connecting element of experience to make them a good team. Since the agency launched in 2008, they have been recognized in a number of categories including "Best use of social media" (by Flashpoint PR) as well as claiming two Gold Pencils from the 34th Annual One Show. The agency was co founded by Anderw O'Dell & PJ Pereria. Founder Andrew O'Dell prior to this was a president of AKQA.

Clients include LEGO, University of Pheonix, Corona, Yes to Carrots, Yahoo! popchips, Muscle Milk, Robert Oatley Vineyards, Intuit, Carrots, UBISOFT

The list stands out to be because it is small enough to grasp the type of work they do. Among this list there are:
-New products such as, "Yes to Carrots," granting the team has a lot of freedom to play with design in branding & a blank canvas to choose the product claims.
-Fun clients like LEGO, provides opportunity to bring out an almost natural, true to the heat dedication. The products with a "childlike" mentality is an avenue to fully use creativity and ask the consumers to do the same (where they have done exactly that) connect with the "kid mentality" we all love to bring out.
-Established products like Corona. That simply speak for themselves as great bran ding tactics. Clients like this integrate strategy and tactic to produce sales.

The agency did a case study showing their ability to communicate with a target market & create a personality for Corona. The summer long reach utilized the popularity factor for a great time to drink Corona. In fact, they came up with even more reasons to drink a Corona; they made a tear off flip calender with a different game, fact list or message for an entire summer in NYC. All of these key things were collected to make up themes, labels, and reasons to party for the day. Each tear off had a personality in design and included a subtext with factoids & humor pointing out clues & tips on finding and enjoying a cold Corona. At the point of purchase, they used inbar promotions such as Beer garden Bingo or made up combinations like Corona w/ lime ice cream day. They called it this period Summerbration (summer + celebration).

Working backwards for this concept, I imagine a brainstorm bringing out the most commonly associated thoughts about summer. Choosing a place that Valued summer might be a good place to link linguistics and emotion. For example, take the word "Flip FLops." And take two regions, or more specifically, 2 states: California and New York......... The way a Californian feels about flip flops is not on the same page as a New Yorker does! "Flip Flops" to a New Yorker are a sign of ease. They represent less work (no scraping the windsheild off of ice) and comfort, (residents can walk out the door with a light jacket as opposed to the down ajcket, warm cap, gloves, and scarf they wore during the months of winter).

The agency fills some big shoes, being a full service ad agency with what seems to be a small team.

OTHER NOTES
Philosophy : A good idea is like water. That may sound a little zen, but think about it for a moment. Water is one of those amazing things that you can consume in many different ways. You can crack open a bottle post-workout. You can soak it up within a hot, cloudy sauna. Heck, you can even drop it into a tasty mojito to keep things cold.

A good idea is the same way. And thanks to integrated disciplines like the ones you’ll find below, we can make sure your target audiences can always get a taste.
