Using Art to Advertise with The California Sunday Magazine and Dropbox Paper
When Dropbox wanted to advertise their product, "Dropbox Paper," they were looking to tap into the young creatives market. Dropbox turned to The California Sunday Magazine, but instead of taking out an ad in their paper, Dropbox went a more creative route by creating an ad that illustrates the process of using Dropbox Paper.
Dropbox Paper teamed up with the weekend magazine to show how creatives can collaborate from all corners of the world through the cloud. The project resulted in three unique films, created by 25 individuals, across 3 continents, and 6 different time zones. These team members never met, but were still able to create together.
Chas Edwards, President and Publisher of The California Sunday Magazine, joins Cheddar to explain how this initiative is an illustration of where the advertising world is going. Consumers don't want to be served ads, they want to consume more content.

Jack Constantine, chief digital officer and product inventor at Lush, joined Cheddar to talk about the cosmetic company's mass exodus from major social media platforms TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat, in the wake of recent reports that Instagram specifically had negative impacts on teen girls. He noted that with teenage girls being a large part of its consumer base and audience, Lush had a responsibility to market its company on outlets that prioritize mental wellbeing. "For us, we've always been a social brand, and it started to feel that social media was no longer offering what we felt we wanted to gain from it," he said. "And then obviously when you add that to the damage that it's causing, it just feels like a combination that we can't continue on with." The company also pulled out of social media platforms in 2019.
