Check out what we READ this week starting with hard-to-notice ad placements that actually get noticed.
Daiya Pizza’s Hard-to-Notice Difference Illustrated by Hard-to-Notice Ad Placements – Via TDA_Boulder
Clever and creative ad placement from Daiya Pizza by TDA Boulder. With the headline “It’s easier to notice this ad than notice our pizza is dairy-free,” some ads run in strange places like on top of busses or have really small placements like mini-magnets in elevators. Sometimes bigger isn’t better! I’ve had this pizza and have to say, their non-dairy cheese is the best out there!

4 stories: Secrets of Hollywood
Okay here is a great podcast from The Week. I love this magazine and I thought this would be timely with the Oscars coming up. I think the Star Wars podcast is fun and relatable to the millennials at COHN who are Star Wars geeks (ahem..me). I remember watching the first Star Wars movie in a drive-in theater, gotta love Nebraska!

Study: Video posts have the greatest Facebook reach
I’ve been saying for years that video engages audiences better than any other type of post on social media, and now the folks over at Ragan.com are backing me up. “Video posts had an organic reach of 8.71 percent, which means nearly nine out of 100 fans saw the posts. By comparison, posts with links had an organic reach of 5.29 percent, text posts had 5.77 percent reach, and photos brought up the rear with only 3.73 percent organic reach.”

Is there a more polarizing pop culture figure right now than Kanye West? A new hilarious website called “Kanye Vs. Creative” asks the age old question that everyone at an ad agency struggles with: Who said it? Kanye or your Creative Director?
