Editor's Notes
- Breyers was coming out with a new light ice cream brand – Smooth and Dreamy. It was a “new twist on an old classic” – great flavors you love with less fat. A couple of key insights were that their demo – women – loved romantic movies and that they indulged with the product while watching these movies. Now these insights aren’t exactly groundbreaking, but if you take them together and then build the creative from there, you have the opportunity to do something new and innovative.
- What we did was take two classic romantic movies – Gone with the Wind – the most romantic film of all time - and King Kong – if you think of Kong as the ultimate strong, silent type. Now if Breyers Smooth and Dreamy is a “New Twist on an old Classic”, then what’s our twist? What we did is take a modern woman, Jane Krawkowski from 30 Rock, and put her into both movies. Forrest Gump did this trick many years ago…but here was our twist. In Gone with the Wind, we took out Scarlett O’Hara and put Jane in her place. Now think about this…we still had Rhett Butler’s lines, but we wrote new lines for Jane in order to build a whole new narrative for this modern woman and her fantasy – all brought on by this great product and presented in the context our insights told us would be familiar and interesting to the target consumer.
- Talk about distribution and results (Getting from Yablonski). Online, on air, cinema, in store DVD promotion, (refer back to insights and marriage thing)
- Now the 3rd example I’d like to talk about is something we just launched this past month. And it’s about getting high profile talent, hopefully coming up with great creative, and a brand that had the guts to take a risk. It’s also about how the right creative and distribution can be the perfect tool to ignite a conversation -- once again that marriage thing…and Igniting a Conversation was the main goal of our client on this project. The project: Whoopi Golberg, Poise and Light Bladder Leakage
- Insight: 1-3 women 18-up have the condition Taboo: It’s a subject no one talks about: The Goal: Ignite a Conversation We decided to use comedic vignettes distributed online and in print to break the ice with consumers, illuminate a problem, tell them they’re not alone, and give them the solution. But all of this wouldn’t work without the right creative – so here was our idea: If 1in3 women have this… then maybe some of the most famous women in history might have had this…and those women might have had this during the iconic moments we all know. I mean…was Mona Lisa’s smile because of???? We created 8, 60-90 second pieces of Whoopi inhabiting the characters dressed
- We launched it in The View in mid-February and the response was fantastic. Now online, we have a portal partnership and hyper syndication. We even had a print component. And on iTV, they actually had to pull the site down after 2 weeks because they ran out of samples! The brand then decided to find the money to get themselves in the “Super Bowl for Women” - Oscars Night. Now you don’t see ads for light bladder leakage or incontinence in the Oscars…but after ABC and the Academy saw the creative execution, they allowed us in the pre show.
- Right creative, right distribution – and here’s what happened next: Within 2 weeks of this 1, single airing in the Oscars, it just caught fire…we’ve had over 200 million PR impressions. When in the world does anyone talk about Poise. From Bill O’Reilly and Howard Stern, (they didn’t love it- but remember it’s all about igniting a convesation) to Perez Hilton (loved it), front page of Jezebel, to the epitome of pop culture…we were spoofed in SNL! So how does this tie into the whole marriage of content and distribution thing – If we hadn’t run in the Oscars pre show…very little of this would have happened. And what’s fascinating if you think about it…old media, new media…they are all important…it just depends on the brand, the demo, the strategy, the goals and objectives of the brand – it’s the marriage of content and distribution. Whoopi is a great example of taking a risk…taking calculated risks is really important…but I would say not taking any risks is even riskier…the old analysis by paralysis situation. And today – in a still burgeoning economy, this is the time to take a calculated risk!
- BERTOLLI – MULTI-PLATFORM DISTRIBUTION AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES Recently, we launched a big program with Bertolli Frozen Meals that starred Marisa Tomei, Rocco Dispirito and Dan Cortese. It was a reality show – let’s say a cross between Top Chef and Amazing Race. Take a look a quick clip and then I’ll explain the rest.
- This is a great example of multi-platform content: We launched with a 30 sec. Teaser in the Academy Awards that was married to a brand equity :15 spot. We followed it with a custom 60 second spot in Desparate Housewives the following Week. We had an integration with Marisa Tomei on The View. Online we have rich media and banner ads, a portal partnership with Yahoo!, as well as Hyper syndication. We have an iTV component, a social media strategy, a Facebook page, Twitter…you get the picture. The program just launched but you can see how essential the marriage between content and distribution is in this project. In each channel we have a small key team across the agencies that discuss the strategy and execution in that channel in order to achieve that engagement with consumers I talked about earlier…the three C’s (contact, content, context) so very important for success.
- Creating fresh content for all these different platforms, not “repurposed content” Old Media vs. New Media Using new technologies to keep the “Marriage” fresh and exciting!
