Louy’s Move to Decon Now Finally Official

Two months after we first reported that Misha Louy was leaving BBDO New York for the second time and likely joining prodco/record label/ideation shop Decon, the latter has finally confirmed his arrival. Louy will officially assume the title of partner/EP at the NYC-based operation, which you might remember from hipster-tinged efforts like this.

Before Decon and in between his two tours of duty at BBDO NY, Louy had a brief stint at Droga5, where he served as executive broadcast producer on UNICEF Tap Project 2011 and Reb’l Fleur work starring Rihanna among other things. During his career, Louy also spent three years on the production side at Merkley + Partners.

Eminem: The Most Popular Living Person on Facebook

Social media statistics service Famecount.com announced today that rapper Eminem now has 28.86 million fans on Facebook, making him the most popular living person on the world’s most popular social media website. This comes three days after Eminem became just the third person to pass 1 billion play counts on YouTube after Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber.

Eminem dethroned Lady Gaga for the top spot on the chart. Holding the #1 position on the chart for the past eight months after stripping the title from Barack Obama, she now sits in second place with 28.85 million. The current most liked person living or dead on Facebook? The late Michael Jackson with 29 million fans. What about the fastest growing star according to Famecount? Rihanna, who sits at third place among the living with 25.3 million Facebook likes.

A chart on Famecount’s website shows that Eminem’s rapid rise to the top started in June, correlating with the release of his wildly popular seventh full-length album, Recovery. While Slim Shady holds the Facebook crown, he’s still in third place in overall internet fame due to Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber ruling YouTube and Twitter. Meanwhile, Groovecount.com, which also measures web fame across digital services, has Em second only to Lady Gaga.

Doritos Debuts Rihanna Music Video

In one of the most complicated internet marketing techniques to befall the snack industry in history, Doritos and their “late night” brand is debuting new, high-tech music videos from Rihanna and other artists around the globe (including British rapper Professor Green). How one goes about accessing Rihanna’s video for her latest single, “Who’s That Chick?”:

1. Buy (or steal) a bag of one of Doritos late night flavors. You may choose between “Last Call Jalapeno Popper” or “Tacos at Midnight.” A flask of tequila is not included.

2. Find the “special marker” on the back of the bag.

3. Visit the DoritosLateNight website. It will ask you to upgrade to the latest version of Flash. During installation, my Firefox browser shut down, and the website reopened in Safari. It was surprising.

4. Show the “special marker” on the bag to your webcam. If you do not have a webcam for your computer, enjoy your Doritos.

5. Congratulations! You can now watch the new Rihanna music video.

As if that process wasn’t interactive enough, the Goodby-created “Who’s That Chick?” video is available in day or night editions, while the AMV BBDO-produced video for Professor Green’s “Coming to Get Me” was filmed using a special 360-degree camera, allowing viewers to lend a hand in directing the video for their own viewing experience. “Coming to Get Me” and credits after the jump.
