  • Ads get personal with Adobe's Project Primetime platform
    Adobe has converted its Auditude acquisition into a multichannel video content platform called Project Primetime. Enabled by MediaWeaver, the platform allows for the flowing of ads into linear, live and on-demand videos via single-platform distribution. Tied to other Adobe products, audiences can be segmented and targeted such that, for example, "Coke could make sure that a mom watching the Olympics on her tablet would see an ad that’s different from the one shown to a teenager watching on her iPod Touch and also different from the one shown to a twentysomething watching on Xbox," writes Tim Peterson.

  • Van Heusen tackles slovenly male youths with football play
    Van Heusen is trying to capture the attention of 18- to 34-year-old men who are typically uninterested in fashion but demanding of comfort with an Institute of Style, football-centered campaign. Ads will include Hall of Fame players as well as current stars to promote the idea of going from "schlub to swagger." Humorous online videos were created in collaboration with the Funny or Die website. The edgy approach is new for a brand that in the past has associated with such dapper celebrities as Jimmy Stewart and Bob Hope.

  • The future is programmatic, Web marketers say
    Programmatic buying is changing the balance of power between Web publishers and advertisers, experts say. Marketers are increasingly focused on tracking consumers across the Web rather than buying up space on specific sites, with programmatic bidding now accounting for about 10% of all online display advertising. "It's allowing advertisers to assign value to media rather than publishers," explains Ben Winkler, chief digital officer at OMD.

  • Dell goes mobile from variety of angles for holidays
    A mobile catalog, QR codes in print and mobile sites that count down to the big shopping days are a big part of Dell's holiday campaign. For the countdowns, when the clocks reach zero on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, they unlock sites specifically designed for those days. "Developing these solutions for the mobile Web allows us to create an experience that functions seamlessly across all operating systems, allows for greater discoverability and shorter development cycles with improved speed to market," said Brandon McGee, Dell director of global mobile.
