Barron’s: Advertising,  Meet Anthropology.

In Columbus, Ohio, a team of five anthropologists working for an advertising agency surveys 100 homes. They periodically monitor email, search pantries, even peek in closets. Testing one brand, they ask inhabitants questions such as, “When you’re drinking flavored coffee, how do you see yourself?”

As it turns out, when they drink flavored coffee, those surveyed see themselves as more “hip, fun and contemporary” than those who drink it unflavored, according to David Grzelak, an advertising executive with a master’s degree in industrial anthropology who also led the project.
With those findings, advertising agency Engauge introduced a “Flavor Your World” campaign in August 2009 for the coffee creamery International Delight to coincide with the launch of three new creamer flavors. The campaign featured recipes on a redesigned website and a savings calculator and barista blog on Facebook. Sales of all brands of flavored creamers jumped 7 percent.

Sky Delta Magazine: The Mad, Mad World of Advertising.

In an essay published in Sky Delta magazine, New York Times advertising columnist Stuart Elliott explores our post-Mad Men era of advertising. Madison Avenue is no longer the center of the advertising universe. “That began to change in the 1970s and 1980s, as executives began thinking about quality of life as well as quality of work,” Elliott writes. “Today, among the other cities that well-regarded agencies call home are Boulder, Colorado (TDA Advertising & Design); Columbus, Ohio (Engauge); Sausalito, California (Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners); and Miami (Crispin Porter + Bogusky).”
