Meta Advantage for your Christmas campaigns

Meta launches a new AI-based advertising tool

Meta Advantage is the new tool presented by the tech company, with the aim of helping companies find customers and boost their sales, as well as optimizing advertising campaign spend.

According to Meta, “AI is taking center stage in the advertising industry, with more tools than ever available to marketers, from AI-powered automation tools to early-stage generative AI tools.” Furthermore, Mark Zuckerberg’s company is already looking ahead to the upcoming festive season, so it has created a Christmas guide to help brands and companies apply artificial intelligence tools to their advertising campaigns during Christmas and the holiday season.

Freepik renovates and debuts a new visual identity

The graphics resource company is undergoing a rebranding to reinforce its international growth and boost its portfolio of brands, products, and services. It also debuts a new color palette, inspired by Malaga, the home of its offices in Spain.

In the words of Carlos Cantú, CMO of Freepik, “the brand renewal implies a change that goes beyond aesthetics, leading us even to reformulate our mission, which now focuses more on the power of design and speaks to how Freepik helps anyone create great designs much faster, to help them express the power of their ideas.”

At Nömad, we echoed this rebranding on X (formerly Twitter), and we also showed you the details of their color palette.

Johnson & Johnson says goodbye to its iconic calligraphic logo

After 135 years of history, the popular pharmaceutical and health technology company has changed the typeface of its characteristic logo for a more contemporary font. But why give up such a personality-filled logo?

Although it may seem like a mistake at first, what Johnson & Johnson achieves with this change is greater readability and a concept more aligned with its goals of unifying the pharmaceutical and MedTech segments under a single brand, with the aim of strengthening itself and focusing on healthcare.

The first ad launched into space

Carrefour launches an ad into space

News trends are a good opportunity for brands to generate impactful actions and achieve virality. This is the case with Carrefour, which, taking advantage of the latest news about the existence of extraterrestrial life, has launched an advertisement into outer space to promote its new savings product. In this way, it has become the first company to broadcast an ad beyond the boundaries of our planet.

“Sooner or later they are going to come. So when they do, they should shop at Carrefour,” states the ad, which has managed to take advantage of the trend with great success.
