      • No product demo
      • Rupture with traditional communication
      • Different use of the product sometimes
      • TAKE RISKS
    18. Why make webfilms ?
      • No limit for length of the video
      • Freedom of creation (no control)
      • Quality of the audience
      • Price (no space buying)
      • Target
    19. Drawbacks
      • Visibility (smaller audience)
      • It can be long for a video to emerge
      • Possible gap with normal communication
      • The message can be busted
      • Internet is seen as “not serious”
      • Spam
      • Difficulty to track viewers and define their identity
      • Contrary to TVC, you can’t force people to watch a webfilm
    20. Can all advertisers use webfilms ?
      • Webfilms work better for products requiring a great involvement as they try to provoke emotion
      • Not really suitable for low involvement or fcmg
      • Webfilms are usually transmitted to an homogeneous audience
      • Most suited for advertisers in the IT, leisure industry (disc, video games, cinema) or car makers
      • The good question is “For what target is it better to use webfilms ?” rather than “For what industry is it better it to use webfilms ?”
    21. Are webfilms really effective ?
      • MillardBrown : 77% ad memory on Internet vs 18% on TV
      • Less distraction
      • Voluntary screening
      • More creative
      • Web videos are better accepted than pop-ups or banners
      • Webfilms are mostly used to build brands rather than to sell products
    22. How to put it on the web ?
      • Event site
      • Blog of the company
      • Embed on the company’s website
      • Post it on YouTube
      • No space buying
    23.  
    24. If Big Budget
      • AdSense campaign, banners, mailing
      • Some agencies are specialized in spreading webfilms on the web - Viral Buzz Marketing Association
      • What does a buzz agency ?
      • Seed the video, target influential people, day-to-day analysis, feedback, adjust campaign, final report
      • Agencies make one-to-one marketing, handle the PR and try to avoid bad buzz
      • GET PRESS
    25. Will my webfilm go viral ?
      • The success of a video is always uncertain
      • There’s no magic formula to make a hit
      • HAVE A GOOD IDEA
      • “ Nobody reads ads. People read what interests them. Sometimes it is an ad.“ (Howard Gossage)
      • ENTERTAIN
      • Don’t forget that a webfilm is still an ad, it’s not just a joke
    26. Should I go undercover ?
      • Some advertisers choose not to make their brand name appear in their videos :
      • Domino’s Pizza – Spoiled Rich Girl
      • Smirnoff - Tea Partay
      • The problem is that it can create deception from the viewers and lead to bad buzz
      • On an other hand, come advertisers create fake videos and broadcast them as they were true in order to create an interrogation among viewers
      • Ecko – Air Force One
      • Nike – Ronaldinho
      • Quiksilver – Dynamite Surfing
      • Rayban – Never Hide
    27. How can I evaluate the success of my video ?
      • >100,000 views – great
      • >1,000,000 views – phenomenal
      • Far less hits than for a normal TV screening
      • Advertiser need to conduct studies (satisfaction, purchase intention)
      • It is more important to have reactions on the video on a long period
      • Webfilms are really hard to memorize
      • Web users only remember the most recent videos
      • The solution can be to make regular ads (Axe, Bud, Coca-Cola)
    28. Tracking
      • A tag can be attached to the video to get the numbers of views
      • Some websites monitor the web to track the most viral videos :
      • Internet Viral Chart (for ads only)
      • Viral Video Chart (for all videos)
    29. Types of webfilms
      • Some advertisers create a bunch of several videos at a time (3 in average)
      • Others create a series (Mini - Hammer & Coop)
      • Sometimes a webfilms is followed by a sequel and becomes a saga
      • Some advertisers choose to create an entertaining video in which the brand is only a minor actor (product placement)
    30. Bud TV
      • Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch) is one of the biggest provider of webfilms
      • Budweiser launched in 2007 Bud TV which is the first attempt to create a web-based video network
      • Bud TV is not only about ads but features new humorous webisodes, sporting events, consumer-generated content, field news reports, celebrity interviews, music downloads and comedian vignettes
      • The brewer's target audience of young male viewers has become more difficult to reach in recent years through traditional television programming
      • "Traditional broadcast TV doesn't target to the male 21- to 34-year-olds; it tends to be a broader demographic and a more female draw," Tony Ponturo, Anheuser-Busch's vice president of global media and sports marketing
    31. What is a good webfilm ?
      • Superproduction or Amateur-like
      • Original and with a strong message
      • Works in different cultures, no language barriers (no speech for example)
      • Slightly branded film
      • Doesn’t look like an ad
      • Can be parodied
      • Offer an experience
    32. What is a bad webfilm ?
      • Webfilms trying to create a mystery are usually not a good idea :
      • Volvo – Dalaro
      • Some webfilms are just nice videos not linked to the product at all and with just the brand name at the end
    33. Recommendations
      • Set websfilms as part of an integrated cross-media campaign
      • Webfilms can be complementary to TV
      • Put a commercial first on Internet is the film is virable in order to create buzz (Happiness Factory, Sony - Balls)
      • Be original, creative, interactive
      • Internet is not TV bin
      • There is no ideal media plan
      • Be cross-platform (Set the video in different formats)
      • Be portable (“embed on your blog”, “send to a friend”)
    34. Recommendations
      • Define the objectives first before entering the media
      • Then go on Internet if it’s appropriate
      • Don’t go all viral (BMW) but keep a foot in TV
      • Why not try UGC ?
      • If the webfilms goes viral, advertiser should create a sequel, put the behind-the-scenes online and gather information about the viewers
    35. Recommendations
      • Stay coherent in your communication
      • Use Internet for a new product aimed at young people for example
      • Use webfilms for B-to-B purpose too
      • Put it on YouTube with the label “Unseen”, “Banned” or “Censored” to attract viewers
      • Give viewers a brand experience (goodies, advergames)
    36.  
      • The brands who will win on the Internet will not be those who will tell great stories but those whose consumers will tell the best stories
      • (Matthieu de Lesseux, CEO, Duke Interactive)
