PARAMORE akan mengebrak Jakarta

Paramore merupakan sebuah grup musik asal Amerika Serikat yang dibentuk pada tahun 2004. Grup musik ini bermarkas di Franklin, Tennessee. Saat ini mereka beranggotakan 3 orang yaitu vokalis Hayley Williams, Bassist Jeremy Davis, dan gitaris Taylor York. Sejak terbentuk, mereka telah mengeluarkan 3 studio-album (All We Know Is Falling, Riot!, dan Brand New Eyes) dan 1 EP (The Summer Tic EP) serta sebuah live-album (The Final Riot!)


Paramore dibentuk pada tahun 2004 di Franklin, Tennessee, Amerika Serikat oleh vokalis Hayley Williams, lead-guitarist Josh Farro, drummer Zac Farro, rhythm-guitarist Taylor York, dan bassist Jason Clarke. Namun pada saat mereka akan masuk ke dunia major label, pihak label kurang setuju dengan keberadaan Taylor York dan Jason Clarke. Kemudian Hayley membawa bassist Jeremy Davis dan rhythm-guitarist Jason Bynum untuk menggantikan mereka, dan pihak label pun setuju. Paramore lalu menandatangani kontrak dengan Fueled by Ramen. Nama Paramore sendiri dikabarkan diambil dari nama ibu dari bassist pertama mereka.

Mudah-mudahan tidak ada halangan ..group band asal Amerika ini akan datang bulan Agustus 2011 ke Jakarta yang akan mengebrak dengan musicnya di gedung JHCC

Diharapkan kedatangan band asal Amerika ini akan memenuhi rasa haus pada pencinta music tersebut.

AdMob Adds Tablet Ad Formats

by Mark Walsh, Yesterday, 4:29 PM



AdMob today unveiled a new set of tablet ad formats and enhanced developer tools in connection with the one-year anniversary of its formal acquisition by Google. The mobile ad network also said it now gets more than 2.7 billion ad requests, up from about 800 million a year ago and 2 billion at the start of 2011.

The four new in-app tablet units include a pair of video formats: one for full-screen interactive video ads, and another type that can be overlaid on a branded image. Between the other two, one is geared to showcasing image galleries within ads and the other for showing 360-degree product or other views.

The new ad units are only available for the iPad at present, but Android compatibility is expected soon. Those formats are also in addition to a cross-platform interstitial format AdMob already offers for the iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

"These new HTML5-based ad formats are built specifically for tablets' larger, HD screens, and make use of features like touch, tap and swipe," stated a post on the Google Mobile Ads blog today. "Together, these features will enable advertisers to develop rich, engaging campaigns and run them across multiple mobile platforms."

A demo on the site showed a campaign for the Paramount blockbuster "Thor" that used the cross-platform ad and a new branded video ad employed by Coldwell Banker. It has an informational video running in the center of a static image of a house, including the real estate giant's branding.

AdMob also said that in the last six months alone, traffic from tablets on its network has grown 300%. To help developers expand their business, the company is also releasing a "significant upgrade" to its "House Ads" offering, which developers can use to promote their own products with mobile apps. The update includes improved campaign management, new ad formats and better ad targeting.

In the coming months, "we'll also improve mobile app developers' ability to use AdMob to deliver the most valuable ad by integrating a new "mediation" feature that selects the best ad from multiple, competing ad networks directly into the Google AdMob Ads SDK," stated the post.

AdMob also promised deeper integration with Google ad tools, with the goal of providing seamless ad management across the desktop, video, mobile and tablets. To that end, it earlier this week rolled out DoubleClick rich media ads for the mobile network. In the next few weeks, Google plans to add support for mobile to its DoubleClick for Publishers Small Business ad-serving product.

Will and Kate's Wild $720,000 Honeymoon


Everyone's favorite royal couple, Will and Kate, have returned from their honeymoon. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spent ten days relaxing and exploring the Seychelles, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean.

The pair have vacationed at the island chain back in 2007, but this time palace officials are (understandably) pretty mum on the details of their trip. Luckily, members of the Seychelles government had no problem talking to the media about the honeymoon. Reportedly, Will and Kate saw a turtle nest hatching and went on several dives, even swimming up close and personal to giant stingrays and even sharks! They sound like a pretty adventurous couple, don't they?

Even better, the Duke and Duchess honeymooned with a conscious - the Seychelles are known for promoting sustainable tourism.

"[Will and Kate] are very aware of our environmental record and the fact that Seychelles puts such a high premium on our environment," a Seychellois spokeswoman told US Weekly. "Over 50 percent of our land is deemed as a nature reserve, so there’s very little land for development. It's definitely very important to Prince William."

The honeymoon is said to have cost Kate's family about $720,000. Expenses included travel, security and accommodations (11 villas were rented out to ensure privacy for the couple). Wow. I'm sure the glamorous break was well-worth it, considering what a busy schedule they have for the summer! Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip are celebrating their birthdays in mid-June, and Will and Kate will be heading to Canada at the end of June. After that, it's Kate's first trip to America - the couple is making their first official foreign trip to California in July.

Still Life Photography In A Home Studio



By: Albreht Moy

Still life photography has a long dated history and goes back to ancient times where a camera obscuras where used. This type of still life was done by standing in a dark room and through a pinhole placed in the wall the outside world was projected onto the opposite wall, but it is given that they where shown upside down and in vivid color. So as it stands today, still life photography has the same concept and idea, but done a lot differently and much more hi tech. Still life photography in the home studio is an old and ancient form of art and very prestigious.

The beauty of having to do still life in the comfort of a home studio is that you can capture a certain mood you are looking for and express it on film. All that will be needed is any object or objects that strike you as beautiful, strange or even the most common thing found in or around your home. Add some unique lighting sources at different angles and you are well on your way to take a great still life photograph. It is easy to produce a very creative and beautiful picture because you have the control over all the elements in your studio.

The subjects of still life can convey a classic look and flowers do the perfect job for this look, they are extraordinary and very easy to photograph. This type of still life subject will always be a reminder of a simple but a powerful beauty that we see almost every day in a photo. To create a bold still life that gives off flair try placing your subjects on a white background. This will accentuate the color of the object and create a unison look overall in the photo.Remember - with still life photography - everything has a special beauty.

Top Three Ways Clients Can Fix Agency Relationships

By Jason Heller

Last week we discussed the top three ways that agencies can improve the client/agency relationship. Of course there are two parties to every relationship, and this week we delve into what clients can do to improve relationships with their agencies.

The last few years have added new responsibilities to your already full plate, and you work under the constant pressure from management to perform -- it is indeed demanding. However, without the proper level of your involvement, your agency relationship will inevitably fail.

Stay informed. An educated client will foster the most productive agency relationships by participating collaboratively, streamlining communication and keeping agencies on their toes. Be open to admitting that you don't know what you don't know. Adopt a sincere desire to understand more about the digital landscape, the consumer, and the processes and challenges of your agencies.

Nothing beats real-world experience, but attending conferences and training courses, and reading industry trades will help keep you updated on the constantly evolving world of digital marketing. Request education sessions with your agency as well as key third-party partners from time to time. Separating the signal from the noise amidst the age of information overload can be overwhelming, but you'll figure out how to make it work.

Allocate enough time to do your job properly. I know, easier said than done! However, this is vital. Plan to over-communicate during the briefing process and ensure that you always articulate your needs and objectives very clearly. Leave no room for assumptions and provide all the necessary caveats to turn shades of gray into black and white. Leave time for strategic planning on the front end, and iteration on the back end.

If you want thoughtful work from your agencies, then you need to provide a reasonable amount of time for them to produce it. Provide organized feedback. Be accessible. Always ask the agency to poke holes in your briefs and direction, and to make recommendations for you to consider.

The misalignment between what a client wants or needs and what the agency delivers is often the result of hasty communication and assumptions being made on one or both sides. Keep an open line of communication with your account leadership as well as key day-to-day agency staff. Help them help you.

Keep a level head. Be a role model for your agency to respect and enjoy working with. They won't take your kindness for weakness by default. Refrain from releasing your frustrations on them, particularly when it comes to areas that you are not intimately knowledgeable about.

Of course, sometimes they may deserve a firm touch when necessary. However, remember that negative reinforcement will not go very far in motivating individuals at the agency to work any harder for you in the long term. In fact, it's not unheard of for an agency to lose good people if they are continually belittled and never praised for their hard work.

The marketing services business can be thankless at times, and while you may be paying your agency top dollar, chances are, the account team is working well beyond 9-5 and not making nearly the salary you may imagine. Sometimes an "attaboy" goes a long way.

Being proactive about communicating any concerns regarding oversights, strategic direction, account management, or account leadership as early as possible will often prevent minor issues from escalating to becoming real problems. Although some account managers have developed an uncanny ability to read minds from time to time, don't rely on Jedi mind tricks to run your account.

If your agency is truly not up to the task at hand and disappoints you repeatedly after clear communication and attempts at collaboration, then do yourself a favor and replace them. While putting the account into review is the last resort, it is important to know when to make the decision. Changing agencies will temporarily disrupt the flow of performance and create the need to deal with a transition period. However, your new agency will be eager to learn about your brand, company and culture, and get up to speed as quickly as possible.

The moral of the story: It's tough being a client or an agency. Just like marriages aren't perfect and require hard work to keep thriving, so does the client/agency relationship. This is a fact not to be taken lightly by either side.

Until next time... Dr. Heller, your friendly client/agency therapist.
