A quick article I found interesting on AdWeek talks about how to keep relevant in a changing industry in Advertising and Marketing. I think this can be applied to any industry too. The industry is changing due to changing consumer behaviours, the ongoing dependency and relevancy of the digital landscape/economy, and sifting through data to make some sense of it.
Summarizing the article, there are 4 traits that a media executive (or marketer) should have:

The concept of reality itself for Donald Trump is quite misleading. Now that Donald Trump is President of the United States, it’s weird to see how his misleading lies has got him to where he is. The Last Week with John Oliver analyzes Trump’s relation with the truth. Funny and frightening, it’s the reality that he is the commander in chief. Oliver breaks it down and segments into 4 questions:
The GDP quote below 0 is funny because we all know from economics class that it’s impossible to be at zero. Trump’s testament in building a wall on the south to divide the Mexicans from illegal immigration raises questions of inclusion and instability for further key issues for the world economy.
What’s even funnier (or scarier) is that he gets his information sources from Briethbart and from InfoWars apart from a number of hours of TV watched. Briethbart and Infowars are very opinionated talkers who have headlines that would make you turn heads and make you question their skepticsms (or truths). Trump passes on statements that is not fact-checked. He could in fact just be a tyrant where people listen and will take his word even though it isn’t right. A lack of evidence that is disregarded is denying the truth. It isn’t just a belief as his PR adminstration comments as because faith and fact, when diluted, will end with people getting hurt. Does America want to get their news directly from their leader only? If that happens, then is the country any democratic than other neighbouring countries (I’m thinking North Korea).
As a recommendation to oneself when getting newsfeeds either from social media, media outlets, or from the Internet, one should verify and double-check if the link/source is legitamate before passing it on. Is the new source sketchy? Can you get your source from other sources? Is it the source you know and recognize? Are primary resources linked and does the story match the primary resources? If the blog or site is continually wrong on the truth and have lots of biases that are not fact-checked, then leave the site, or stop trusting in it. One should chase the knowledge and be sure that questions are asked so that the truths are valid, especially when it can affect lives.
P.S. John Oliver, you are awesome. Keep up the fantastic work!
Last Week Tonight With John Oliver video below:
Pretty neat pictures of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. It depicts the beasts on poster ads in China.
Here’s the reel:
I’m stoked for the Stars Wars Rouge One Story this weekend. This particular ad left me tearing up a bit. Get the tissues because this one wrenches and tugs on your heart making you get the feels. Wait till the end but prepare for some sniffles.
This YouTube video from American Museum of Natural History shows visually human population over time and its pretty interesting to see in the last two hundred years how drastic the upwards increase the population grew from the scientific findings and discoveries in health and technology.

This is pretty cool in how it was filmed in less than 5 seconds (4.2 seconds to be exact).
OK Go is always surprisingly fun and cool to watch with how they lay out their mechanisms of art which is simply put when seen with the final results that have been well thought out and elaborated through storytelling.
Thought this was pretty funny coming from RackaRacka. I like Naruto so this is just a funny tribute to it.
If you don’t know Neil Blomkamp, then you should go watch some of his movies that he’s directed – District 9, Elysium, Chappie – for some references. He’s a fantastic Sci-Fi movie director.
Blomkamp joins up with BMW to deliver this ad, which doesn’t seem to be like one. It’s called The Escape with Clive Owen in it. The premise of the story is that he’s the driver delivering a highly classified package (reminds you of Jason Statham’s Transporter). This classified package is a genetically cloned human. It has Dakota Fanning and Jon Bernthal playing as the human clone and mercenary that sits with Owen in the BMW to escape the lab. It then gets heated up with bullets being exchanged and car chase scenes all while highlighting the beauty of the BMW car as a supplemental object planted into the scenes. The BMW takes the backseat of advertising where the story takes precedence. I thought it was a fun short film to watch with all the action woven into it.
