IKEA's New Catalogs: Less Pine, More PixelsComputer-Generated Images Aim to Save Money on Marketing Costs asPhotographers Are Retrained to Apply Skills to 3-D ScenesAlmhult, Sweden-That couch catching your eye in the 2013 edition of IKEA's new catalog may not be
a couch at all.
It is likely the entire living room was created by a graphic artist. In fact, much of the furniture and
settings in the 324-page catalog are simply a collection of pixels and polygons arranged on a
computer.
The Swedish furniture giant has for decades spent more than two-thirds of its marketing budget
building and furnishing living quarters, which are typically portrayed with a sparse, fastidious fashion
sensibility and lighted with impeccable precision.
But the privately-held company's quest to curb costs and boost productivity has it mothballing some
of this real-world production. It is instead turning to 3-D graphics to fill its pages.
This year 12% of IKEA's content for the Web, catalog and brochures were rendered virtually; that
number will increase to 25% next year.

Adweek: Facebook Rolls Out Studio Edge for AgenciesEducation platform schools creatives on social
Last year, Facebook launched Facebook Studio as a platform for agencies to showcase
their social campaigns and interact with one another, an online community to get up to
speed on the latest in Facebook advertising. The social network has formalized the site's
educational aspects with Facebook Studio Edge, which the company announced in June.
"The Studio Edge program actually started as in-person training sessions that we
conducted with a series of agencies in New York, London and various places around the
world," said Facebook's head of agency marketing Jennifer Kattula. Facebook has taken
that education project online. Facebook has been "road-testing" Studio Edge's course
content with a few agency holding companies, said Kattula, and on Wednesday the
platform opens up to all agencies and may eventually extend to brands, small businesses
and even the general population.

A Channel on the Web Devoted to Shoes, for Those Who Can't Get EnoughFashion brands spend a lot of money and time to place their products in movies, dramas and reality
television. Nine West, the mass-market shoe store chain, has decided to cut out the middleman and
produce its own media.
On Tuesday, Nine West will introduce Channel 9 (channelnine.com), featuring programming that covers
various aspects of footwear, like walking in stilettos, shoe repair tips and overflowing shoe closets.
Nine West, a division of the Jones Group, is starting the channel as the centerpiece of a new multimedia
campaign, which includes print advertising, to reinvigorate its brand of trendy, affordable shoes.
It is not that the brand is doing badly. Last year, Nine West over all had global sales of just under $1 billion,
and the company expects to do well this year because, despite the economy, the image-conscious are still
buying the latest pumps, stilettos, flats and wedges. Last year, women bought 548 million pairs of shoes
that were not for sports use, according to Euromonitor International. That accounts for about 70 percent of
the $23 billion annual women's shoe market in the United States.

AdWeek: GM Hits Runway to Get Women on the RoadwayAutomaker teams with Isaac Mizrahi, LivingSocial, Time Warner to promote the latest Chevy Malibu
To get women in the driver's seat in the 1950s, General Motors hired the "Damsels of
Design," an all-female team of auto designers who created female-friendly models like the
Chevy Impala Martinique and the Pontiac Parisienne. This week the automaker kicks off a
more modern approach to generate interest in its 2013 Chevy Malibu, by way of a side trip
through women's closets.
GM has forged a unique multiplatform alliance with fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, the daily
deals brand LivingSocial and media giant Time Warner.
"It's an opportunity for us to put a stake in the ground and commit to the growing women's
segment," said Mary Kubitskey, an advertising manager at Chevrolet.
For the partnership, Mizrahi conceived a clothing line, Malibu Style, that was inspired by the
new Malibu model and that will be sold exclusively on LivingSocial.
