on the special environment of the movie.
Passion, jealousy and espionage... They do it
all – and they do it at 30,000 feet. The style of
the 1960s, the energy and excitement of the Jet
Age and a drama full of sexy entanglements
deliciously mesh in this thrilling and highly-
original new series.

height of luxury and Pan Am is the biggest name
in the business. The planes are glamorous, the
pilots are rock stars and the stewardesses are the
most desirable women in the world. Not only are
these flyboys and girls young and good
looking, but to represent Pan Am they also have
to be educated, cultured and refined.
Because of this special environment which is full of
genuine luxury details which take us back to the 60s.
The show is expected to be attractive for many well
established brands. such as health and beauty, home
décor and fashion merchandise.
Pan AM is genuine, original, strong brand, and
successful business… So people will think that
the sponsoring or advertising companies are the
same.. (Mixing brands)

25. Charlie's Angels
The program is very relevant for the
European market because Charlie's Angels
was one of the main hit series of the
seventies in U k. It's a bit of fun really but
the film is just right for Nokia because
there's a strong style element and they've
introduced a lot of technology and made it
very contemporary. So the same can happen
with the French cellphones company, such
like “Al-catel” or “Sony Ericson” which
could be interested in sponsoring this
program.
For the French cellphone company Sony
may feature clips of the Angels using the
phone.
26. A TV, press, and web advertising campaign.
Sony picture obviously wanted to stay away
from the iconic Charlie's Angels to create
something new for the re-imagined TV
show, our company opted a special look of
the angels that could attract any number of
fashion, hair care or beauty products
companies , which are so many in France to
advertise in the program.
