Star Wars
The Star Wars fever has become pandemic in the United States with the release of Episode Three. Everywhere we look we can see products costumed as jedi or Darth Vader. With out a doubt, our favorite campaign has been MMs "Chocolate Mpire" promoting the new dark chocolate version of the classic candy that melts in your mouth not in your hands.

Newman's Own familiar marketing
Familiar marketing
If Paul Newman is famous for his roles in
Salad Dressing
Quando o consumidor compra um produto Newman, todo o lucro – cem por cento - é revertido para causas sociais. Assim, usar Newman é uma prova de cidadania! “Newmans Own” começou com um produto: molho de saladas. Depois, com o sucesso desse produto, a empresa passou a vender produtos como molhos de tomate para macarrão e pipoca de microondas. Em toda a história da empresa, cerca de 150 milhões de dólares já foram doados. Bem, não sabemos qual o faturamento total da “Newmans Own”, quais seus custos de produção e se os 150 milhões representam realmente 100% do lucro da empresa (é fácil diminuir o ganho auferido, aumentando os salários dos funcionários e da presidência, não?).
When a consumer purchases a “Newman’s Own” product, all profits -- 100% -- go to social causes. In this way using “Newman’s Own” products is a proof of citizenship! Paul Newman started selling only one product using his name: salad dressing. With the run away success of this product, “Newman’s Own” started to sell other goods such as tomato sauce and microwavable popcorn. Paul Newman’s unique marketing based on trust, principals, personal accountability, and his own unmistakable image has created a company that has given over 150 million dollars to charitable causes since its founding in 1982. However, we do not know the gross revenue of Newman’s, overhead, executive salaries, but this does not diminish the support that Paul Newman has given to various charities over the years.
With the success of the Newman's Own brand, Nell Newman, the actor’s daughter, proved herself astute. In 1993 she began “Newman’s Own Organics” as division a division of her father’s company. In 2001 her division silently, separated completely from “Newman’s Own”, because it aimed to be for profit. “Newman’s Own Organics” does not share the same charitable objects as Newman’s own it certainly shares its marketing. Nell uses her father’s image on her products, the same typography, trademark, and even “Paul Newman has given over 150 million dollars to charitable causes.
Atualmente a “Newman’s Own Organics” tem mais de 72 artigos. De bolachas a velas, de rações de cachorro a sopas, tudo é orgânico. No momento em que a demanda por orgânicos é crescente mundialmente, Nell ganha espaço nas prateleiras dos supermercados. Ora, para quem já é a favor do orgânico, nem precisa se preocupar com o social. Papai faz.
Currently "Newman's Own Organics" sells over 72 products. From cookies and candies to fresh produce and pet food Nell Newman has used a combination of the strong brand recognition built by her father with his philanthropic company and market savvy to expand her dominance in the ever growing and increasingly lucrative market of organic foods. Being in favor of organic foods she doesn’t even need to worry about social responsibility. Daddy does.
