Campaign of the Week:
Woman Deriving Some Sort Of Sick Pleasure From Healthy New Diet, Lifestyle
Source: The Onion
Why we like it:
We always appreciate The Onion’s satirical take on the news and then how they extend that through to brands. This reverse take for NaturesCare pokes fun at how excited people get about being healthy.“Frankly, I can’t believe she goes around openly talking about how much she enjoys snacking on fresh fruits or how far she ran the previous day. It’s messed up.”
Quote of the Week:
“We should look at ad blocking as an opportunity to create something better: a chance to take digital advertising to the next level using the technology and tools that are already at our disposal.”

FT Is Showing How The Future Of Publishing Is Native
If you want to know the future of publishing, the FT is always a good brand to watch. I remember talking with a former publisher of the paper a handful of years ago in a conversation that waned toward the big numbers of viewers that were leading digital publications, such as The Guardian, were credited with. I will always remember his sage words that the FT would make more from a hundred thousand subscribers than any free newspaper will make out of 20m unique monthly visitors.
