Chasing the gold-dust of 'Brand Olympics'
From Juliet Mann, CNN
July 26, 2012 -- Updated 1711 GMT (0111 HKT)
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- The business Olympics are now well underway -- and the streets of London are paved with branding gold
- There are eleven global "top-tier" sponsors of the games, each paying around $100 million
- The investments are fiercely protected by branding police
- The attraction isn't just sales -- it's being involved in the second most valuable brand in the world
London (CNN) -- The streets of London are paved with Olympic gold.
Visa Europe, Dow Chemical and Panasonic-branded taxis drive down central London's Oxford Street, now bedecked with Olympic flags and banners. MacDonalds and BT branded telephone boxes stand on street corners, lit by lamp posts emblazoned with the LOCOG sign of the organizing committee. The business Olympics are well underway.
Blog: Olympics: Money spinner or dud?
There are eleven global "top-tier" sponsors of the games, each paying around $100 million for a contract, and 44 other sponsors. These companies are the only ones that can display the London 2012 logo -- or any Olympic branding.
The brand police, made up of 280 enforcement officers from the Olympic Delivery Authority, along with a LOCOG brand protection team, will be clamping down on businesses that use pictures of the Olympic rings and words that include "Olympics," "2012," "medals," "gold," and even "London."
Read also: Is the Olympics worth more than Google?
The $100 million price tag to official Olympic sponsorship is well protected, but what will these companies get in return?
According to Luc Bardin, group chief sales and marketing officer of top-tier sponsor BP, the biggest benefit is the association with such a powerful brand. "Selling petrol is one way in which we express and serve society, but it is by a long distance not the only one," he said. "[What's] incredibly important is the way in which we are part of this country, in other countries' lives, and in many villages and communities."
Cadbury is the official "treat provider" with a sponsorship covering the UK. Norman Brodie, general manager of the Cadbury London 2012 program, agrees with Bardin.
"It makes fantastic business sense if you can use this to excite people," he said. "It's the catalytic property, the transformational property of being a part of the Olympics -- that's the gold dust, the magic dust and what we have done is sprayed it around."
The Olympics is the second most valuable brand in the world, after Apple, according to a report by Brand Finance. They calculate the Olympic brand is worth more than all of its other major sponsors -- including Samsung, GE and Coca-Cola -- put together. They have valued the Olympics brand at $47.6 billion, an 87% increase since the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
Olympic sponsorship: Must it be so unhealthy?
David Haigh, chief executive of Brand Finance said, "Companies will cough up large amounts of money to sponsor sports, events, teams and individuals if they believe they are going to get the money back."
According to Haigh, it is now mainstream for companies to use high level analysis to determine how much of a return they can expect to get from sponsorship of events. "The Olympics seem to work," he said, "and [those companies] are getting bigger and bigger budgets."
Mixing Formats: ARRI Alexa, Canon 5D and C300 on a New Mexico DOT Spot
DP Shane Hurlbut blogs about using the ARRI Alexa, Canon 5D and Canon C300 on an anti-drunk driving PSA for New Mexico's Department of Transportation. He writes, "Our concept wanted the look and feel to take place at dusk, right after the disaster. We had one day to shoot this commercial that had to take place in a 30 minute period of dusk. We set out to use negative fill and large solids to control the daylight, block the sun and create a mood that felt like dusk...We chose to shoot with a mixed format approach with the Arri Alexa, Canon 5D and the C300. I used each format to its advantage."

City council in firing line as queues build due to new bus lane
RESIDENTS and councillors gathered to protest against a new bus lane they claim is causing traffic chaos on a major route into the city.
Campaigner Simon Brookes, 61, of Westbury-on-Trym, started a protest after being incensed at the queues building up since the installation of the bus lane on Westbury Road in March.
Mr Brookes has been supported by local residents as well as his Conservative ward councillors Alastair Watson and Geoff Gollop and Bristol North West MP Charlotte Leslie.
They met yesterday morning at White Tree roundabout where some queuing motorists sounded their horns in support with the occasional driver disagreeing.
Mr Brookes' group, labelled "This bus lane is madness", claims that Bristol City Council refuse to admit there is a problem.
But Bristol's transport leader Tim Kent said the council accepted traffic was worse since measures were put in by the roundabout but says it may not be the fault of the bus lane.
He said several areas were being investigated to solve traffic flow but admitted it would be "perverse to keep the bus lane" if it did prove to be the main problem.
Mr Brookes said: "In March they introduced the bus lane and the huge tailbacks started.
"The council has totally ignored the views of respondents – 82 per cent of whom said it was a bad idea – as well as the views of local councillors and the MP.
"This affects the image of Bristol and has an impact on business and trade in the city. It delays people and produces pollution – it is just badly thought out.
"It is an absolute nonsense. They have created a massive problem which was not here before. The council should grow up and admit they have made a mistake. It's unbelievable."
Local residents Charlotte Galvin-Wright , 46, of Westbury Park and John Pritchard, 67, of Westbury-on-Trym showed their support for the campaign.
Mrs Galvin-Wright said: "It's absolutely dreadful. I have changed my route into Bristol just to avoid it.
"I can't understand why they changed something that was perfectly good already."
Mr Pritchard added: "I can't believe it. I am very concerned about how the traffic has slowed up. Personally I think it is madness."
Bristol North West MP Charlotte Leslie added: "This is an example of why people get so fed up with the council," she said.
"This was so obviously going to go wrong and when people are having their money spent we need a common sense approach. We need to live on planet reality and not planet politics. It's a very expensive mistake."
Westbury-on-Trym Tory ward councillor Alastair Watson said: "There has been an incredible increase in queues at this roundabout and I find the council's refusal to do anything about it is staggering.
"There is more pollution and the irony is the lane does not even speed up the buses because they get caught in the queues waiting to get to the bus lane."
Mayor and fellow Tory ward councillor Geoff Gollop added: "What people don't see is the rat run effect this is causing.
"I can't understand why the council don't admit there is a problem."
Lib Dem Mr Kent, council member in charge of transport for Bristol, said: "We have admitted it is worse than it was before. There is a significant traffic queue there, you would have to blind not to see it.
"Clearly the bus lane is an issue but it was not the only change that was made so we are investigating other changes in the area first.
"People assume it is the bus lane because it is what people see but we believe the work down on the roundabout may be having more of an effect.
"However if it does turn out to be that the bus lane is the main cause of the problem it would be perverse to keep it."
Mr Kent said it would be mid-September before it could be established what the problem was.

Mozilla giving Thunderbird the (effective) axe, leaving its fate to the community
Mozilla's Thunderbird mail client just hasn't enjoyed the same level of stardom as its Firefox cousin. Their developer must be feeling this discrepancy more than most, as the company has confirmed plans to take the organization out of active Thunderbird development. The shift is officially being spun as an adaptation that lets the Foundation center its energy on Firefox OS and the usual browser plans, but when Mozilla proper will only be handling bug fixes and security updates for a client that's "not a priority," we'd say it's putting Thunderbird on ice. Accordingly, leaked details from TechCrunch show Mozilla moving some of the team out of the project at some point; any new features will have to come from the community, which suggests the future upgrade schedule will be more than a bit unpredictable. The writing is on the wall soon enough that existing owners could have food for thought well before a final strategy is due in early September.
