Publicis Seattle Hosts Women Who Rock Panel
Posted by PublicisUSA in Agency News on July 25, 2013
SEATTLE, WA (July 25, 2013) – Publicis Seattle hosted Women Who Rock, a panel discussion showcasing six of Seattle’s most successful businesswomen. The event, held at the agency, saw an amazing turnout. The entire office along with friends, clients, and other companies in our building gathered in the agency café for gourmet popcorn, adult beverages and an insightful panel discussion by area business leaders.
The impetus for the event came from a current exhibit of the same name on display at EMP Museum, one of the agency’s clients. Rather than focus on the women who have shaped the music world, Publicis Seattle’s event was a celebration of some of the most successful women running Seattle businesses with a focus on innovation, creativity and culture. The event began with a panel discussion and live audience Q&A and was followed by a curator-led tour of the actual EMP exhibit.
The event was moderated by Shireen Jiwan, Chief Investigator at Sleuth, and the panelists were:
Kimberly Harris – President and CEO, Puget Sound Energy
Halle Hutchison – Managing Director of Brand Management, Alaska Airlines
Renee Erickson – Chef/Owner, The Whale Wins, Boat Street Cafe and The Walrus and the Carpenter
Andrina Bigelow – CEO, Fran’s Chocolates
Amy Bohutinsky – CMO, Zillow
Jill Wenger – Founder and CEO, Totokaelo Design
The panelists gave their perspective on the challenges of business, the inspiration that Seattle gives them, the importance of being true to yourself and where you want to go in life. When Renee Erickson was asked about opening her own restaurant, she responded, “Buying a restaurant at 25 was the scariest thing I’ve ever done. It’s also the best thing I’ve ever done and changed my life forever.”
Halle Hutchison, who oversees Alaska Airlines’ product marketing, sponsorships, advertising and promotions noted, “Being a visionary is one thing. Being a control freak is another. Let the people around you be great, too, and you’ll all share in the successes.”
Andrina Bigelow, a successor to her mother, Fran, as CEO of Fran’s Chocolates spoke about what makes her a successful businesswoman: “We stay true to our mission, we always go back to that same goal. We will never compromise on quality, whether its packing, customer service, our retail stores, every single decision we make. Even if it means we could make a little bit more money by compromising and buying something a little cheaper, an ingredient that’s a little cheaper, going after a product category or segment that’s really popular, we just wont do it. And we’ve started out that way, and continue everyday to stay true to that mission and I think that’s been incredibly powerful for us in terms of success of the business.”
In closing, Jill Wenger offered some advice to the audience: “Let the rest of your peers settle. Be adventurous in your actions.” Another panelist, Amy Bohutinsky added, “I never really planned it this way, even five years ago I don’t know if I would have said ‘I want to be a CMO.’ If anyone’s ever read Sheryl Sandberg’s book, there’s a line it that says a career is a ‘jungle gym not a ladder’ and as long as you know the things you like to do and the things that make you passionate you can’t plan the exact path to get there. It takes just as much work to swing for the fences as it does to lay down a bunt. But only one of these approaches has the potential for greatness. Think about it.”
As an agency rooted in adventurous thinking, it made sense to bring together some of the most adventurous thinkers in the world of business, creativity and culture to share their perspectives. This was an opportunity for 200 of tomorrow’s leaders to listen and learn from some of the country’s most successful business leaders. Women Who Rock was the first in what will be a series of panels, roundtables and other creativity-inspired events hosted by Publicis Seattle, championing the ideas and principles that keep our industry and agency moving forward.

Birds Campaign from Publicis Dallas Takes Flight to Battle Histoplasmosis
Posted by PublicisUSA in Our Work on May 29, 2013
First-Ever Advertising Campaign to Increase Awareness of One of America’s Least Known and Most Misdiagnosed Diseases
DALLAS, TX (May 29, 2013) – Publicis Dallas today launches ‘Birds’ the first-ever advertising campaign to increase awareness of Histoplasmosis, a disease where bird droppings lead to a fungal infection that gets into the lungs, bloodstream and eyes. The obscure disease is one of America’s least known and most misdiagnosed. At the centerpiece of the awareness campaign is an arresting series of print ads, coupled with the first-ever website (www.histodisease.org), completely devoted to Histoplasmosis detection, treatment and support. Here are the print ads:
“A few years back, this disease nearly killed, Julia Melle, one of our most talented creative directors, “ said Shon Rathbone, Executive Creative Director, Publicis Dallas. “Her passion for raising awareness of Histoplasmosis inspired the entire team to build a campaign that was both creatively arresting, and truly worthy of the cause.”
Histoplasmosis affects thousands and kills over 800 people a year, yet awareness among the general public and most physicians is very low.
“There are very few moments in this business where you feel like you can put your talents to use for the good of others,” said Julia Melle, Group Creative Director, Publicis Dallas. “This is a moment, where my experience with this terrible disease that took half my right lung can be leveraged to educate patients and doctors everywhere.”
Creative Overview: The Publicis Dallas creative team realized the morphology of organs affected by Histoplasmosis resembles the place birds most love to congregate – tree branches.
This led to a campaign approach that tells a very complex story with very few words. The overall mood of the advertising, with its hauntingly beautiful India ink and watercolor illustrations, is appropriately chilling for a disease this dangerous. The three print ads each feature a different organ-tree, (lungs, heart and eye), with the simple headline: Birds Infest More Than Trees. At the bottom of the ad is the organ-appropriate version of the copyline: Bird droppings can lead to a fungal infection that gets in the lungs and kills more than 800 people a year. Now you
know more than most doctors.
Survivors of Histoplasmosis have formed a strong and active social media community, found on Facebook, and Twitter, among others. The campaign will use those organic social-driven
channels to pass along the message beyond traditional paid media, and turn survivors into evangelists.

T-Mobile Gallops Into New Territory: Publicis Seattle & Riney Take Direct Aim at AT&T, Verizon & Sprint
Posted by PublicisUSA in Agency News on March 26, 2013
SEATTLE, WA (March 26, 2013) – 
The hyper-competitive telecommunications market shares more than a few similarities with the Wild West… intimidating bullies, group pressure, sinister bandits, controlling gang leaders, countless townspeople who feel taken advantage of… and of course, the rogue independent. After years of ruthless competition and a renaissance in mobile technology, only four major carriers are still in their standing: AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile, making the cowboy days of old the perfect metaphor for today’s mobile marketplace. Hot on the heels of the iPhone 5 release, T-Mobile debuted an aggressive Western style advertising campaign from Publicis Seattle and Riney to paint its brand in a new light.
Always devoted to freedom and being different than the “old school” carriers, the first ad features motley crew of four bandits, representing the big four carriers, entering a lonely mountain town with bad intentions on their faces. One of the riders then has a sudden change of heart and decides pushing people around isn’t what he wants to do with his life anymore. He then throws on an all-too-familiar magenta hat, and rides off into the distance with a smile on his face: a simple, yet clever metaphor to describe the strong armed ways of current telecommunications companies.
T-Mobile’s new brand messaging takes direct aim at the competition, and most pointedly, AT&T. The highlight of the brand messaging is crystal clear. T-Mobile now provides data plans that are cheaper, simpler and more transparent, than any other phone carrier. It also enters the iPhone marketplace with an unbeatable offer of a new iPhone5 for $99 down, and no contract. Talk about a bold step to stop the cell phone bullying.
“These bold moves serve notice that T-Mobile is canceling its membership in the out-of-touch wireless club,” said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile USA, Inc. “This is an industry filled with ridiculously confusing contracts, limits on how much data you can use or when you can upgrade, and monthly bills that make little sense. As America’s Un-carrier, we are changing all of that and bringing common sense to wireless.”
Currently, T-Mobile has approximately a quarter of the U.S. smartphone market share that AT&T and Verizon enjoy. AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile had 33.3%, 32% and 8.2% of the U.S. smartphone market, respectively, according to a December 2012 Kantar report.
Commenting on the new commercial, Peter DeLuca, T-Mobile’s Senior Vice President, Brand & Advertising, stated, “It’s metaphorical…we’re moving in a different direction.” He added, “All the swagger you saw [at the press event], you’ll see in our advertising in all channels.”
In a category where services are nearly identical, the first carrier to finally start appealing to the real desires of its customers may win a considerable chunk of market share. T-Mobile wants its customers to know they’re listening to them. With guidance from Publicis Seattle and Riney in San Francisco since 1997, T-Mobile will continue with a fresh perspective sure to attract masses of unsatisfied AT&T, Verizon and Sprint customers while putting T-Mobile at the forefront of a consumer revolution in telecom.
About T-Mobile USA Inc.
Based in Bellevue, Wash., T-Mobile USA, Inc. is the U.S. wireless operation of Deutsche Telekom AG. By the end of the fourth quarter of 2012, approximately 132.3 million mobile customers were served by the mobile communication segments of the Deutsche Telekom group — 33.4 million by T-Mobile USA — all via a common technology platform based on GSM and UMTS and additionally HSPA+ 21/HSPA+ 42.
