Nutella, the hazelnut spread, has always been a fun brand (when it's not sending its biggest fan cease and desist letters). Now, via Italy, comes a fun stunt, in which the uniqueness of the product is reflected in the packaging. Ogilvy & Mather used a special algorithm--much as Diet Coke did last year, and Absolut...

Don't forget your sunscreen
By Angela Natividad
In our most recent episode of World in Crisis (not a real thing, just the reality show we live in), the American administration opted to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement--something that's ironically been good for getting people to talk about the state of the planet, and even take action.
