KFC makes social cock up
KFC is the latest brand to make a social media cock up - this time, it's literal. KFC Australia tweeted out a very #NSFW (Not Safe For Work) image earlier today that showed what appeared to be the opening scenes of a porn movie with what looked to be penis pixelated out.
It has since been deleted, but it wasn't an error. The tweet was the start of a social campaign to launch a hot and spicy range, according to a statement to News.com.au. The offending image being tweeted says it all (this one's from Mashable.)
Coty reviews cosmetic arm creative and digital accounts
Global beauty and fashion company Coty is reviewing the global creative and digital accounts for its cosmetics arm. The review is being handled by Roth Observatory and covers all cosmetic brands, including Bourjois, Rimmel London and Sally Hansen.
In 2011, Laird & Partners claimed the global ad account for Rimmel London from J Walter Thompson.
ZenithOptimedia is Coty’s global media planning and buying agency. The Publicis Groupe agency saw off three other shops to win the business in 2015. OMD had previously held the account in the UK, Ireland, the US and Canada but resigned it earlier in the year.
