Apple has cut component orders for the iPad 2 by up to 25%, fuelling speculation that the vendor is reacting to growing economic pessimism in the European theatre.
A report by Hong Kong-based JPMorgan analysts, first picked up by Bloomberg, claims that this is the first time the vendor has cut its supply chain in this way.
As a result, up to five million fewer units could be built in the crucial Christmas quarter.
It is currently unclear as to what is motivating Apple to make such a potentially disruptive move.
Analysts have suggested it is reacting to concerns over the economy, but it has also been suggested that it either feels it has sufficient stocks to cover sales to next year's launch of the iPad 3, or wants to concentrate on shifting the imminent iPhone 5.
The vendor may also simply be emboldened following recent IDC figures, which revealed it snapped up 66.6% of the addressable market for tablets in calendar Q2.
At the end of Apple's 2011 Q3, it said it had 1.05 million iPads in channel inventory, up 200,000 on Q2.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

LONDON — She’s still got the East End studio, the Brit hippie look and some of the coolest friends in town, but 35-year-old designer Luella Bartley is proudly growing up.
Together with Club 21, Bartley’s global licensee for ready-to-wear and accessories, the designer has tightened her operations, ramped up the quality of the collections and begun taking a more commercial approach to the market.
Last summer, the label took on its first-ever president, Frenchman Regis Rimbert, formerly of Dior and Prada, whose mandate is to take Luella to the next level.
“We’ve been working to give Luella a proper, long-term vision and strategy, and to bring stability to the brand,” said Rimbert. So far, he’s made changes to the manufacturing and supply chain, and helped the designer hone her approach to her customers.
“In the past, it was about creating the right image, following the right trends, but I don’t feel that pressure anymore,” said Bartley. “I have more confidence now. I can focus on catering to my customers’ lifestyles as opposed to following the rest of the market.”
One of Rimbert’s first moves was to shift all manufacturing from the Far East to Europe. As of fall 2009, the collections will be made in factories in Italy. Going forward, he also plans to focus on the pillars of Luella’s collections, such as riding jackets, cocktail dresses, Gisele bags, boy’s-style shirts and skinny trousers to consolidate and build the business.
Although he did not supply sales projections, Rimbert said the “vast majority” of sales potential lies in rtw, which Bartley launched in 1999. He and Bartley are focusing on the details, and what they call “individual” luxury, that’s not about showing off. “We want to speak to the customer through the little things,” Bartley said.
According to industry sources, the label’s estimated turnover is about 9 million pounds, or $13 million at current exchange. Rimbert said his priority is not top-line growth, but rather securing a long-term strategy. He also said there were no immediate plans to expand into new product areas such as fragrance and eyewear.
Although her collaborations with Target and sports brand O’Neill — Bartley and her partner, the photographer David Sims, are passionate surfers — have come to an end, there could be more in the future. “We’ll look at the commercial opportunities that come our way, and we’ll continue to do collaborations,” said Rimbert.
Bartley said the company is improving everything from the basic materials to the workmanship. The knitwear collection is going to grow, too, with Luella offering a larger variety of colors. They’re also paying more attention to the finer points, branding the zipper pulls, buttons and handbag locks with Luella’s signature heart, running horse or name logo.
Luella’s silhouettes have also gotten slimmer for fall. The designer, who has channeled everyone wicked witches, British aristocrats and Mick Jagger for past collections, has said that while her basic reference points remain the same, she’s slowly moving to a more sophisticated place.
Since the spring, the price range of the collection has expanded to reflect the improvements, and the line is being positioned alongside such labels as Miu Miu and Chloé. The entry price is about 200 pounds retail, or $290, for a jersey dress or a cotton skirt with detailing. It sells at Liberty, Harvey Nichols, Harrods, Colette and Printemps. Luella has a temporary shop-in-shop at Galeries Lafayette, which will remain open until March 15. The label also has a limited distribution in the U.S.
Rimbert said the brand is still serious about leather goods. Designer Katie Hillier has returned to the label, starting with the fall accessories collection. In addition, Bartley is collaborating with Georgina Goodman on a small footwear collection called Luella by Georgina Goodman.
Luella got its first big boost from the Gisele bag, which Bartley designed for Mulberry in 2002, a year before Club 21 became the label’s global licensee and distributor. While that bag is still a Luella staple, the designer is putting the focus on new silhouettes, such as the rounded, napa leather Flower Bag, for spring.
Last year, Bartley, a mother of three who counts Stella McCartney, Kate Moss, Katie Grand and Giles Deacon among her close pals, won the British Fashion Council’s coveted Designer of the Year Award. “I’m very proud to have come to this point. For me, it used to be about consciously putting together a ‘cool’ exterior image. But now it seems the more we play the more cool the collection naturally gets. I really have the freedom now to design, and I guess you could say I’m coming of age,” she said.

Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin continued his assault on Bank of America on Tuesday, brushing back criticism that his new law was to blame for the nation’s largest bank imposing a new $5 monthly fee on customers.
For the second day, the Illinois Democrat took to the Senate floor and urged customers to vote with their feet and ditch Bank of America. He sent letters to local banks in Illinois, saying they should “seize this competitive opportunity” and lure customers from big banks that are raising fees. And he held a conference call with reporters defending his legislation, which recently took effect, that cuts the amount banks can charge retailers every time consumers swipe their debit cards.
“Now is the time for bank customers to say enough is enough,” Durbin said Tuesday. “If you don’t value me as a customer enough not to charge me a new fee just for trying to access my own checking account, my own bank account at your bank, I’m going to do my business elsewhere.”
Durbin, the No. 2 Senate Democrat, has come under fire from some media back home and on the right for the higher bank fees, which they argue are a result of his amendment to the Dodd-Frank financial reform passed Congress last year. In June, Durbin fought off an effort by Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) to delay the new swipe fee rules, which lowered bank charges to 24 cents from 44 cents per transaction.
A Chicago Tribune editorial said the “charge, which other banks are likely to adopt, is a direct result of his lawmaking. Call it the Durbin fee.” And National Review Online ran a similar editorial, titled “The Durbin Fee,” arguing that Durbin, “being a senator and a Democrat, cannot resist the urge to stick his nose into controversies better left to the marketplace.”
“Senator Durbin realizes that his promises of consumer benefit from his amendment will not be realized, and … consumers are now being harmed as a direct result of his handywork,” said Trish Wexler, a spokeswoman for the Electronic Payments Coalition, which lobbied against the Durbin amendment. “But instead of taking responsibility, Senator Durbin is trying to point the finger at everyone but himself for this colossally bad piece of public policy.”
Asked by POLITICO whether the Durbin amendment had become a political liability given the criticism, Durbin replied without hesitation: “No way.”
“What I saw here was a fundamental unfairness, price fixing by Visa and Mastercard that was being executed by the biggest banks in America and Wall Street banks to the detriment of retailers and consumers across America,” Durbin said. “If you look at my record, you know I’ve never backed off this kind of a fight.”
“There are a lot of reasons I ran for office, but protecting the profits and bottom lines of banks and credit card companies was not one of them,” he told reporters later on the conference call. “I have looked at my job … as a spokesman doing his best to help consumers – and in this case retailers and businesses – across America at a very difficult time of recession.”
Durbin said he’ll meet with the acting head of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau later this week to ensure customers know their rights in dealing with banks. And if other banks follow Bank of America’s lead, he vowed to encourage customers to leave those banks, too.
“We call it competition,” he said.

Despite previous word to the contrary.
Naughty Dog has confirmed that The Last of Us Part 2 will, contrary to previous word on the matter, jettison the first game’s multiplayer mode, and will instead be a strictly solo affair.
Word of The Last of Us 2’s returning multiplayer originally surfaced during E3 2018, when co-directors Kurt Margenau and Anthony Newman told various gaming sites that the first instalment’s surprisingly enjoyable Factions mode would be back for the sequel, once again sat snuggly alongside the core story campaign.
Newman, for instance, assured Gamespot that “Factions is coming back”, while Margenau revealed that although the studio wasn’t “going to talk details yet about what form that takes…we can confirm there will be multiplayer.”
However, for reasons unshared, things have clearly changed in the interim. Speaking to USgamer during a recent The Last of Us 2 press event, lead game designer Emilia Schatz explained that “We’re focusing on a single-player experience, so we’re just making a single-player game for this”. A Sony spokesperson later confirmed that multiplayer was no more.
And while some may lament the demise of The Last of Us’ Factions mode (Eurogamer’s Ian Higton was, for instance, devastated to the point of a sadness emoji), the good news is that the sequel’s single-player story is shaping up to be something very special indeed.
Martin Robinson recently experienced two hours of the game, and you can read his spoiler-free impressions elsewhere. The gist, though, is that The Last of Us Part 2 is an impressively assured follow-up to an original that many felt didn’t leave mushroom for improvement.
The Last of Us Part 2 comes to PS4 on 21st February next year.

MasterPass, now present in Singapore, eliminates the need for consumers to enter detailed shipping and card information to complete their online shopping at MasterPass merchant sites. Consumers can securely store MasterCard and other branded credit, debit and prepaid card information address books and more. This simplifies the process of completing a transaction from any connected device, particularly those with smaller screens. MasterCard is continuing to lead the transition to digital payments and deliver solutions that are better, safer and faster. Shoppers in Singapore will be the first in Southeast Asia to experience the offering which promises a simplified payment experience while protecting the user’s card and personal details. By selecting “Buy With MasterPass” as the checkout option, customers reduce the risk of exposing their personal information over potentially unsafe networks and can look forward to more privacy as their details are not shared directly with merchants.
SIA and Orange Business Services have signed a collaboration agreement that will enable European and extra-EU banks and merchants to manage payments via mobile point of sale (POS) terminals. Orange Business Services will provide a managed M2M solution with global roaming services enabling remote terminals to automatically transmit data to the SIA technology infrastructure. The agreement will allow SIA to take a significant step forward in the creation of a single operating network at the European level which will collect payments traffic generated by wireless POS terminals and other channels of merchants and then deliver it securely and reliably to the authorization systems of banks, terminal operators and other acquirers. SIA has enabled almost 5,000 mobile POS terminals and plans to reach around 60,000 terminals by the end of the year. These devices can manage transactions coming mainly from European countries (including France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, and United Kingdom) and extra-EU countries, such as South Africa.
The Shareholders’ Meetings of SIA and of SiNSYS have approved the transnational merger through incorporation of Belgian subsidiary SiNSYS into SIA, thereby completing the process of integration of the two companies, aimed at further consolidating the Group’s international coverage and achieving greater operational efficiency with consequent economic advantages. The operation, effective from the beginning of 2013, does not entail any modification to the composition of the Board of Directors of SIA and provides for the cancellation without exchange of all the shares representing the entire corporate stock of SiNSYS, since SIA already possessed 100% of the stock following the acquisition from Atos Worldline of 49% in July 2012. The activities of SiNSYS, specializing in the management of payment transactions with international debit and credit cards with over 1 billion operations annually, around 30 million cards and 700,000 merchants in 12 European countries, will therefore be continued by SIA.
Gemalto digital security, and SIA, a major international payments processor for banks, corporate and Public Administration bodies, are joining forces to support rapid deployment of NFC services. Gemalto and SIA team up for the first national TSM infrastructure that can be utilized by all of the market’s key stakeholders, accessible to the country’s largest mobile network operators and leading banks. SIA has already secured the support of primary Italian telecom operators and banks to provide NFC services through its central hub that enables contactless payment transactions. It will offer the benefits of the Allynis Trusted Service Management for Service Providers platform operated by Gemalto’s European secure data center, which is certified by Visa and MasterCard. Up to 200,000 contactless payment terminals will be deployed in Italy by the end of 2013.
MasterCard launched its “MasterPass” ‘future of digital payments,’ offering consumers a digital service to use any payment card or enabled device to discover enhanced shopping experiences. An expansion of “PayPass Wallet Services,” “MasterPass was announced Spring of 2012 and offers checkout services to provide merchants a consistent way to accept electronic payments regardless of where the consumer may be. For in-store scenarios either at the register or in the aisle, MasterPass will support the use of NFC, QR codes, tags and mobile devices used at points of sale. It provides shoppers a simple check-out process by eliminating the need to enter detailed shipping and card information with every purchase. Consumers can securely store card information, address books and more in a secure cloud, hosted by an entity they trust.

Final Shopko Stores to Close
Written by Andrew-Rossi on March 19, 2019
All remaining Shopko stores across the country are closing – including the store in Powell.
That’s the latest announcement from the Wisconsin-based retail chain, which says it plans to close its remaining 120 Shopko Stores by mid-June, as they were unable to find a buyer for the business.
While Powell was set to keep its Shopko store if the chain survived, the Powell Tribune reports that the local store is expected to close by June 16th.
Shopko CEO Russ Steinhorst said it was not the outcome they had hoped for when the company began its restructuring efforts and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January.

Say this for the Optimus G: it doesn't skimp. LG went for broke to shake off its mid-range reputation, cramming its latest flagship Android phone full of goodies. But specs don't always equal performance.
LG wanted to build a super-phone. Good idea. So LG crammed it with the nastiest specs we've seen on a mobile device. We were excited. We got to play with it today... and they covered that beauty in one of the ugliest skins we've seen. C'mon, guys!

Dutch airline, KLM has decided to discontinue selling Duty-Free tobacco and cigarettes onboard its long-haul international flights, while retaining other shopping options such as liquor, fragrances and makeup. KLM joins a growing list of airlines who have drastically cut back their Duty-Free shopping catalogues or ended the practice altogether.
In a statement, a spokesperson for KLM said cigarettes would no longer be available from July 1st although its tax-free range would be extended with other options past this date. The airline cited a broad commitment to social responsibility for the decision to axe tobacco from its shopping offer.
“We at KLM feel it is no longer suitable to sell cigarettes aboard our flights. KLM supports good health and sportsmanship, which simply cannot be combined with cigarettes,” explained Boet Kreiken, who heads the airline’s Customer Experience department.
“This move reaffirms our pledge to assume our responsibility towards broader society.”
But while KLM will make it slightly harder for passengers to buy tax-free tobacco, there will certainly still be plenty of opportunities in the airport for customers to get their nicotine fix. According to the travel market research agency, m1nd-set sales of Duty-Free goods within the airport are set to rise by 7.1% annually.
What makes KLM’s move unusual, however, is that it has decided to replace the space that tobacco takes up with other Duty-Free goodies – at a time when many airlines are questioning whether they need this ancillary revenue stream at all.
American Airlines decided to ditch its in-flight range in 2015 after a “contractual disagreement” with the retail partner who used to run their Duty-Free programme. United Airlines had already jettisoned its own tax-free range a year before and Delta followed suit in 2016.
In a study conducted by Duty-Free World Council and published by APEX, researchers found in-flight sales fell from 7.3% of total global duty-free and travel retail sales in 2006 to just 4.6% in 2014. The latest research suggests that figure will only continue to decline going forward.
Simply put, selling onboard Duty-Free just isn’t worth the hassle of the complicated logistics of running the operation. Airlines can make more money by taking off the heavy carts and stock and saving money on fuel burn.
But with in-flight Duty-Free disappearing, so too does a source of cabin crew income through incentive programmes and commission that can sometimes be as high as 25%.
Yet some airlines are trying to reinvent onboard selling opportunities. Emirates, for example, has developed its own range of jewellery, while other airlines including KLM and Finnair allow passengers to pre-order a wider range of goods online for delivery onboard.
Unfortunately (or not depending on your point of view), don’t be surprised if, despite the innovations, in-flight shopping son becomes a thing of the past.

The Portland International Auto Show returns to the Convention Center this weekend, with a small but growing presence of electric vehicles.
(John M. Vincent/The Oregonian)
The people of Portland aren't into cars, the story goes – they'll take their bikes and buses and trains over gas-guzzling metal death traps any day. We'll soon have a new car-less commuting bridge, for crying out loud!
But even if you ignore the statistics (more than 71 percent of regional commuters travel solo by car), there are glaring examples of Portland's love of cars. Like, for example, the massive Portland International Auto Show.
While the vast majority of the cars at the show will be of the gas-guzzling variety, there is an increasing presence of eco-friendly vehicles. Between the "Clean Tech Center" and indoor test drives of the BMW i3 electric car, there is a small but growing interest in fuel alternatives.
The BMW i3, the car company's new foray into electric vehicles, will be the toast of the show, taking consumers in laps around the Convention Center. The i3 gets 80 to 100 miles on a single charge, and charges in less than 30 minutes. BMW hopes it will rival the top-selling electric models, the Chevrolet Volt and the Nissan LEAF, but at $41,350 (before any federal and state incentives) it could be a tough sell to average consumers.
To educate people on what all this electric and eco-friendly vehicle stuff is all about, the auto show will feature the "Clean Tech Center," a display of electric and hybrid cars from major manufacturers. Attendees can check out the latest technology and learn how it works.
Of course, there will also be all the traditional gas-guzzlers there as well. Because as much as the people of Portland love environmentally-friendly transportation options, we also love our old-fashioned cars.
PORTLAND INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW
When: Thursday, Feb. 6, to Sunday, Feb. 9
Oregon Convention Center (
Tickets: $12 for adults, $10 for seniors/miltary, $7 for kids, $30 for family of four

Amazon vs. Walmart: Winning Hearts, Minds, and Eyeballs
“When times get tough, the tough go”, it is often said, but still, what better way to unwind after a long day of battling high prices and hunting for deals than sit down and enjoy some “me time” with your favorite show, movie or game.
Whether on a big-screen TV or a portable device, America’s new hobby is all about content. As such, the battle to encounter – and nurture – this new consumer habit is not only high stakes, but also highly competitive and taking place at a time when consumer discernment is increasing on price, value, convenience and fun.
But unlike major categories in the retail battleground, such as groceries, apparel, health and beauty, or housewares and furnishings, where Amazon and walmart have beaten it for years, the nascent streaming media war serves a different purpose and requires a completely different off-store mindset where shows and entertainment are part of an ever-growing package of member benefits. .
The latest twist in the burgeoning subscription war, where Amazon’s more than 200 million paying Prime subscribers are estimated to be three times larger than those using Walmart+, would have seen the underdog in talks with no less than three major media players.
As The New York Times reported this week, according to unnamed people familiar with the talks, Walmart’s potential musing on its own streaming deal to neutralize Prime Video’s growing stable of content, led it in talks with Paramount, Comcast and Disney.
Raising the stakes further, or at least the potential impact of such a deal – should it even come to fruition – is the revelation this week that Disney has now edged out Netflix and has the largest streaming media subscriber base. country with 221 million paying customers. . The fact that Disney’s streaming media portfolio also includes ESPN and Hulu cannot be overlooked or trivialized.
For those who may have missed a few episodes, Amazon’s slow and steady build of Prime Video over the years has seen steady growth and huge investment in the production and purchase of original content. Recent highlights include Amazon’s new Thursday Night Football NFL coverage as well as its $6.5 billion acquisition of MGM Studios in March and its library of 4,000 movies and 17,000 TV episodes. All of this, of course, is included free for Prime members.
The cost of winning over cost
Granted, Walmart hasn’t yet officially stated how it plans to bolster its omnichannel pitch to consumers, and whether a direct fight on an entirely new front against Amazon Prime and its formidable video offering even makes sense, both economically and logistics, given the current state of the world and its business.
While analysts are sure to dig deeper into this point – and many more – when Walmart releases its second-quarter results Tuesday morning, Aug. 16, its long-term strategic goals will likely be overshadowed by rising inventory and the challenges of consumer spending. try to correct.
As it stands, since the first quarter earnings release in May, the company has issued two separate business updates over the past three months, first warning investors of deteriorating sentiment and the need to cut prices to transport goods, followed by a lowering of its earnings forecast at the end of July.
While these factors and numbers have already been digested by the market, what investors will really want to listen to to see when the CEO Doug McMillon takes the mic is how the two-month plunge in gas prices plays out with the 150 million customers who visit its store and website each week.

When Source Farmhouse Brewery opened its doors for the first time in August 2019, they hoped that their hunch that drinkers in central New Jersey were hankering for farm to tap beers was correct. Situated in the quiet community of Colts Neck on a small 125-year-old farm, their tasting room offered visitors space to relax and connect. Business took off from the moment they started to pour beer with over 200,000 visitors in the first nine months.
Lines stretching out the door were the norm. Their customers willingly waited over thirty minutes for a beer. Part of the reason they had such success was their highly unorthodox idea about what a brewery should serve. They had no core beers, no flagships. Instead, each week they rolled out two to four new creations to the public.
“When the market's saturated with one or two particular styles, we think it's great to be able to provide people with something different," says Phillip Petracca, the co-founder and managing partner of Source. "We focus on more classical styles that are highly
crafted with very high-quality local ingredients."
A wide array of IPAs, farmhouse Saisons, German-Style lagers, and stouts were offered, along with anything else they dreamed up. Each one different than the last and built around whatever products they could source from local harvests. Their customers loved it.
Then the pandemic hit, and their tasting room shuttered. It might turn out that that was the best thing ever for Source.
Forced to think fast, they reached out to Iron Heart canning company to have their mobile canning service come to the brewery. They posted on their social media feeds that they would be doing a package beer sale, their first ever. They were mobbed and sold over 1,000 cases in less than twenty minutes.
Realizing that there was a demand for their products, they began releasing package beer every Friday morning. They often sold out that day, and the buzz around their beers increased. The cans they produced quickly became the products that people talked about when they saw them in someone's fridge. Much like The Alchemist and Lawsons Finest, two legendary Vermont breweries whose beers for years were the alcohol equivalent of Bigfoot, Source had created something almost unattainable. It only helped grow their name.
Their phones started ringing off the hook as people reached out to them from across the country. Social media had spread their presence. In an effort to get their beers out to consumers, they decided to partner with Tavour, the beer app that has quickly become the darling of the craft beer community, especially during the pandemic. An online craft beer retailer, it provided a lifeline to many brewers when they needed it most.
“There's a lot of beers that we make that have a far-reaching appeal. We were getting phone calls from all over the country asking us to ship beer which we can't do based on restrictions in place," says Petracca. "So, we partnered with Tavour, which we knew and respected. They provided us the ability to make our beers available in twenty-five states.”
The partnership enabled them to spread their reach from coast to coast, something they could not have achieved before the delivery culture exploded during the lockdown. It gave Source access to detailed analytical reports that allowed them to see what customers were looking for and how their limited releases fared. They were able to use Tavour as a giant test taproom to what beers their consumers wanted.
One of their hottest sellers was part of their Artist Tribute Series. A Grateful Dead-themed IPA, HELP>SLIP>HAZY, it sold out quickly and led to hundreds of calls from people begging them to bring it back. So, they did something that they shy away from, a reissue of a beer. But this time, they decided to package it with a custom pint glass and sticker, that together with a four-pack of beer, is priced at $42.
The beer goes on sale this week and is expected to sell out quickly. They have several more beers queued up for release on Tavour over the next few months. As the country reopens and people start traveling again, the chances are that those same consumers that have been quickly snapping up their products online will start stopping by their brewery soon.
Building on that momentum, they continued with a planned expansion of their facility and took it a step further. They took over a recently shuttered brewpub nearby Fishtown, PA that soon will open with a full kitchen. These two moves combined will more than double their brewing capacity from 3,000 barrels a year to 8,000 barrels.
Their upwards trajectory has not slowed, their recently reopened tasting room filled with lines of drinkers awaiting their chance to order a pint, and their Friday morning beer sales are events. It seems that their conscious decision to blaze their path is working, and all of the interest generated by selling their beers in limited releases nationwide is paying dividends. They are positioned to thrive coming out of the pandemic.

Brand authenticity needs to start in the real world
The problem is that a lot of today’s advertising doesn't acknowledge the real world and context these people live in. It portrays a world that is perfect, full of happiness and in other words unrealistic. In fact, our consumers are dealing with things such as mental health issues, loneliness, pressure to succeed, inequality, unemployment or climate change concerns. And this is where brand authenticity needs to start from.
Recent backlash against Kim Kardashian’s 40th birthday party on a private island and against her sister Kendall's star-studded 25th birthday bash shows that people are pushing back against the manicured life, especially when life is hard.
So, brands won’t deliver authenticity without reflecting a real life in their advertising. They need to move away from smiling couples to real situations and challenges people go through.
Delivering real authenticity
We can call it real authenticity. It’s authenticity that is well-observed; your audience can recognise themselves in it. It’s authenticity that is not afraid to tap into some negative feelings or problems the audience might have. It’s a world that is not perfect, yet it inspires.
Brands that are delivering this real authenticity are winning.
Remember Habito’s Hell or Habito campaign? Instead of showing a happy couple getting their new house, an online mortgage broker dramatized, rather drastically, people’s real pain point, the plight of UK mortgage holders and first-time buyers. And it paid off: Habito’s spontaneous brand awareness has doubled and customer volumes are up three and a half times, says Marketing Week.
Sport England’s This Girl Can has also delivered this real authenticity, although the execution is different to Habito’s. The campaign directly addressed the real problem that was stopping women from being active: fear of judgement. How? By celebrating what women fear the most, their bodies and their sweat. It’s done in a way that makes you feel like you know someone like her or actually, you are her. As a result of this campaign, more than 2.8 million of women nationwide took part in sports.
So, next time there’s ‘authenticity’ in your brief, think how you can make it authentically real and have the confidence to tackle the negative head on.

Ben & Jerry’s became the latest company to join an ad boycott of Facebook and Instagram, calling on Facebook to stop the platform “from being used to spread and amplify racism and hate”.
Ben & Jerry’s said on Tuesday that it will pause all paid advertising on Facebook and Instagram in the U.S. beginning on July 1, joining the ”#StopHateForProfit” campaign.
Last week, a group of six organizations, including the Anti-Defamation League, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Sleeping Giants, and Color of Change, called on Facebook advertisers to halt their spending on the social media platform during July. They’re asking large brands “to show they will not support a company that puts profit over safety.”
Patagonia, The North Face, REI, Upwork, and others have since said they’ll follow suit.
“Ben & Jerry’s stands with our friends at the NAACP and Color of Change, the ADL, and all those calling for Facebook to take stronger action to stop its platforms from being used to divide our nation, suppress voters, foment and fan the flames of racism and violence, and undermine our democracy,” the ice cream maker, which is owned by Unilever, said in a blog post.
The campaign Ben & Jerry’s is joining has produced a set of recommendations for Facebook. The group wants the company to create a “separate moderation pipeline” for users who say they’ve been targeted because of characteristics like their race or religion and to let advertisers see how frequently their ads popped up “next to content that was later removed for misinformation or hate.”
Ben & Jerry’s said it’s asking Facebook “to take the clear and unequivocal actions called for by the campaign to stop its platform from being used to spread and amplify racism and hate.” Ben & Jerry’s, which has locations around the globe, didn’t immediately return a request for comment on whether it spends substantially outside the U.S.
Canadian outdoor brand Arc’teryx said earlier on Tuesday that it was pausing global advertising on Facebook and Instagram and “donating those dollars towards building more inclusive outdoors.”

This week marks the kick off of a national consumer marketing campaign designed to educate listeners on how to find and enable skills, fueled by local on-air, video and social promotion. Individual stations will create localized messaging that speaks directly to their unique listenership. The custom skills can be enabled vocally by using unique key phrases for each radio station; top Cumulus markets including New York City, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Dallas stations are now available.
“Voice-interactive technology is bringing radio listening back into the home and office, and will enable interactivity with our stations in the connected car,” said Mike McVay, EVP, Programming and Content, Cumulus Media. “Our strategy to create a custom skill for individual radio stations and programs, while educating consumers, is critical as smart speakers have created an entirely new, and rapidly growing platform to consume audio content.”
“At an aggregated network level we will have access to valuable data and insights on this rapidly-evolving audio ecosystem,” said Suzanne Grimes, EVP, Corporate Marketing, Cumulus Media and President, Westwood One. “We are dedicated to educating, testing, and learning to evolve the listening experience for our listeners and brand partners.”
Grimes says XAPPmedia was the clear choice to collaborate on this groundbreaking rollout, given the company’s expertise in Voice and AI technologies, strong relationships with radio broadcasters, and the XAPPmedia One Voice AI™ SaaS platform that automates deployment and management of voice apps for Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Microsoft Cortana. It took just a couple of weeks from the project kick off to launching hundreds of stations live on Alexa; across the board XAPP was efficient, organized, and adept.
“Cumulus Media has a track record as media innovators. It is a pleasure working with executives with a long-term vision for how voice interaction will change radio. Cumulus challenged us to move quickly because they wanted to have an immediate impact; no company has brought hundreds of media properties as individual and local custom skills to Amazon Alexa with this speed and at this scale,” said Pat Higbie, CEO and co-founder of XAPPmedia. “Their Amazon Alexa skills network will yield tremendous insight into listener behavior. We are excited to be a part of this important milestone that’s defining the direction for the voice interactive radio era.”
To sample a Cumulus local station skill, follow these simple steps, using the legendary rock station KLOS as an example.
- Just ask your Amazon device, “Alexa, enable Ninety-Five Five, K-L-O-S skill.”
- After it is enabled, access the skill by saying “Alexa, open Ninety-Five Five, K-L-O-S.”
Cumulus Media will be rolling out new national and local audio experiences, as well as sharing new insights on skill discovery and usage as their Amazon Alexa skills network continues to grow in 2018.
