"William Gelner, executive creative director at 180LA, the agency behind the campaign, told Adweek, "For many, social media has become a way to brag or show off.  From posting images of expensive  meals or wine they've had to exotic vacations they're on, this is an epidemic, and it's running rampant.  This is weird, considering the economic climate we're in.  Mitsubishi, a car with great design but at a more down-to-earth price, felt compelled to make a statement in-line with their brand ethos." When you head over to MitsubishiUnpretentious.com you'll be redirected to the Mitsubishi Facebook page, where a photo from your most pretentious friend will get mowed down by the Outlander Sport.  You can then watch as Mitsubishi analyzes more of your most pretentious friends and mows them down too."

We were aware of POLITICAL ANIMALS via the pre-premiere buzz, including mention of it in Maureen Dowd's "State of Cool" piece, and discussed with USA the idea to create a list of America's biggest "political animals" of all time.  With Huffington Post's highly engaged community for opinion and conversation, and USA's tremendous reach, we felt this partnership would provide a great opportunity to start a dialogue about power and leadership. As we prepare to decide on the next chapter in America's future, there's a lot to be learned from those who defined our political past, so we felt that it was a unique platform from which to reflect on what it means to be a "political animal" at a time when leadership is on the minds of all Americans.

The demographic is more likely to remember brands advertised on portable devices and is motivated to visit brand sites and/or retail stores as a result of digital advertising and social posts, Terra found.   In fact, 38% of Hispanics agree that they are more likely to visit branded sites and retail stores, compared to just 24% of non-Hispanics.

Leake says LocalResponse will deliver the ads in two ways: If you mention a company on Twitter, you'll receive a response that links to a relevant retailer landing page. Even more impressive, you'll see banner ads in some mobile apps that can expand and show you the store's circular. (The latter feature is only available in-app currently, but Leake says it will be available for the mobile web by the fourth quarter.) I asked if any consumers were weirded out by this very direct ad targeting, but Leake said the response has been overwhelmingly positive. She said that consumers realize their check-in data and social media posts are public (unless they've been locked down). Additionally, LocalResponse is very careful to share intent data only with the relevant brand (so a check-in at Macy's won't be seen by any competitors).

Plus accounts include one Facebook page and 500 image uploads per month for $5 monthly, while Pro accounts, at $20 per month, cover five Facebook pages and include unlimited images.
