15 Mar 2019 Portinari´s famous work – ‘War and Peace’, a gift to United Nations – will have a permanent release in the major University of Brazil, Universidade de São Paulo (USP)

Brazil will receive a reinterpretation of “War and Peace”, a gift from Brazil to United Nations in NY; Candido Portinari is one of the main Brazilian artists.

Led by the Portuguese Isabel Ruas and Gonçalo Ruas, architects Oficina de Mosaicos – a Brazilian reference for the creation, development and execution of mosaics and based in Brazil since 36 years ago – will create a re-reading of the panels ‘War and Peace’ in mosaic, to be exposed permanently at University of São Paulo (USP).

‘War and Peace’ by Candido Portinari for Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Brazil: image from architects

The initiative seeks to value Brazilian culture by bringing art to public spaces. The project is supported by Portinari’s son, João Portinari, and is in the fundraising stage.

The architect, Isabel Ruas, at the head of this project, reinforces that the re-reading is something very important for the culture of the country, mainly for its educational character. “We want to take schools, children and everyone to know this Portinari work,” she says.

With two panels of 45 meters high and 33 meters long each, the original version is at the headquarters of the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York (USA). The painting was created at the request of the Brazilian government in 1952 and was given as a gift to the UN in 1956. The two panels meet separately – the ‘Guerra’ panel is at the entrance, while the panel depicting ‘Peace’ lies at the exit.

There-reading will be the same size as the original version. “It’s not a copy, because Portinari’s brushstroke will not be there. It will be the representation of the mosaic brushwork and will have its own shape”, explains Isabel.

To do this work, a foreseen expense of 3 million reais will be expected. The project will be executed via Rouanet Law and is in the fundraising stage. So far, some institutions have committed to investing, although they have not yet revealed the values. The process should last until September 2019. Among the works already done by Mosaic Workshop is the restoration of a mosaic by the artist Di Cavalcanti installed at the Teatro Cultura Artística, in the center of São Paulo.

For fund-raising, Oficina de Mosaico is receiving an e-mail via [email protected].

Brands Must Accept The Fate Of The TV Spot

I keep thinking that its imminent. Could this be the year we move on from broadcast’s domination of the advertising psyche?

Every January it starts up again about a week before Super Bowl. Every February the buzz dies quicker. It’s the annual celebration of a tactic that started in 1950, the broadcast TV spot.

The concept of commercials evolved from a tradition of sponsored hour-long radio shows in the late ‘40s, which didn’t easily translate into broadcast TV. In the early ‘50s, with the advent of TV, innovation was needed. A network executive, actually Sigourney Weaver’s dad – Pat Weaver, created the idea of selling portions of a sponsorship which eventually became spots.

It took a couple of years – but ultimately commercials in :30 and :60 formats became a marketing art form and a massive source of revenue for everyone associated.

Along the way, the context of leveraging military terminology to prescribe marketing tactics became the vocabulary of our industry. Strategy, execution, planning, the old-fashioned media blitz – dropping points onto a market. It’s the way anyone over 30 was taught to think about consumer marketing. Weapons of mass persuasion.

Even with dynamic two-way connectivity in our pockets, this 1950’s innovation is now a bad habit almost 70 years later. Media salespeople are still pushing spots on advertisers and their agencies. Spray and pray. And consumers are curating their way right out of watching those spots. I don’t care who you are, you fast forward through commercials every chance you get. Our research found that only 33% of TV is watched live. That’s 67% ineffective for those who do math. As long as traditional is funded, there will be agencies vying for the business.

It’s a safe assumption the parade of $5MM TV spots will lose a little sizzle in 2018. Sure, we’ll have a dozen straggler brands making their pitch. Just to justify the PR hype of the expense. They’ll be happy to be in the conversation – and hope that awareness will eventually lead to conversion. Even though they know better – they’ll justify it with digital extensions.

The bigger issue is that agencies and marketers will still worship “hero” TV spots all year long. Even though most consumers no longer convert to purchasers this way, spots will remain the official language of brand messaging for many marketers. The latest variation – six second spots. Shorter to match the attention span. But still a one-way communication tactic.

The Bottom Line: Until You Get To Two-Way Connectivity, You Can Never Reach Your Full Potential

We recently compiled five years of research on “How and why consumers adopt brands,” and published a book, The Participation Game. Our thesis: They don’t consume advertising, they choose to participate in brands. In it, we document how the top 100 brands use two-way connectivity instead of spray and pray to get attention and maintain loyalty.

Consumers’ favorite brands are letting them speak for themselves. Our research shows that consumers are 2.5x more likely to adopt a brand based on word of mouth from friends and family, search or any online review – than TV, You Tube and Facebook ads combined.

You need dialogue and sharing to win consumer loyalty. You can start by looking at what consumers are already doing and joining the conversation.

We’ve broken down numerous connectivity platforms throughout the book. For instance, integrating with gaming. Not because it’s about your brand. But consumers will happily spend more than five minutes on any single game. Compare that to being fast forwarded or multi-tasked during your mass media buy.

Gaming is a simple and natural way to not only get attention but to create shareable platforms. Verizon integrated their connection platform into Minecraft. Chipotle entertains consumers with simple HTML gaming like Guac Hunter and Cado Crusher. The bonus: gamers share and challenge their friends.

You can get into the game by erasing the military lingo off the board and starting with the following exercise:

Challenge: be an active part of your audience’s lifestyle

Participation Game Idea: Create ways to engage your consumers and have fun with them on their level.

Thought starters: How can your brand connect to passions, hobbies and even time wasters?

How are they spending their free time?

Can your brand enhance it?

How can your brand show you care about it?

How can you play with consumers?

Can you challenge them and incite their competitive spirit?

Empty white boards are a good start. We’ll help fill them up with more concepts, examples and exercises throughout our book and at The Un-Conference. Let’s make this the year we move on.
