    NEW YORK --

    MING Utility and Entertainment Group has promoted Joanna Crean and Rasmus Keger to creative directors. They will help lead MING’s creative development, reporting directly to founding partner, chairman and CCO Linus Karlsson. Rasmus was upped from associate creative director while Crean had been a copywriter.

    Crean and Keger first met at R/GA while working on award-winning projects such as Adam Tensta’s One Copy Song, which launched the Swedish hip-hop artist’s new single with one copy via a Facebook app. One Copy Song won two Cannes Gold Lions, two One Show Gold Pencils and a Yellow Pencil at D&AD.

    At R/GA Crean and Keger also worked on Nike Free Arena, a social activation that took athletes from every arena–even those that’d never find themselves going head-to-head–and put them in direct competition. Keger later joined McCann to work under Karlsson on the IKEA account, while Crean spent the four years at R/GA working on Nike and Samsung.

    At MING, Crean and Keger worked together on an award-winning campaign, Altitude Drop, the first-ever ski film to launch from 13,000 feet. The project was honored with a 2015 One Show Pencil in UX/UI.

    A Closer Look At Proposed Measures Designed To Curb Google’s Search Monopoly

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled Google maintained an illegal monopoly for the last decade.

    The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Justice could radically alter Google's business, including possibly spinning off the Chrome web browser and syndicating its search data to competitors. Even if the courts adopt the blueprint, Google isn't likely to make any significant changes until 2026 at the earliest, because of the legal system's slow-moving wheels.

    Here's what it all means:

    What is the Justice Department's goal?
    Federal prosecutors are cracking down on Google in a case originally filed during near the end of then-President Donald Trump's first term. Officials say the main goal of these proposals is to get Google to stop leveraging its dominant search engine to illegally squelch competition and stifle innovation.

    "The playing field is not level because of Google's conduct, and Google's quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired," the Justice Department asserted in its recommendations. "The remedy must close this gap and deprive Google of these advantages."

    Not surprisingly, Google sees things much differently. The Justice Department's "wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the Court's decision," Kent Walker, Google's chief legal officer, asserted in a blog post. "It would break a range of Google products — even beyond search — that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives."

    It's still possible that the Justice Department could ease off on its attempts to break up Google, especially if President-elect Donald Trump... Read More
