A similar campaign was run by Scharffen Berger. The ads recently ran as
banners in the Pandora iPhone app as part of AT&T’s new sponsored
data program, which was introduced earlier this year.
The sponsored content was only available to mobile users with an AT&T
plan.
A click-through on the banner ad brought up a landing page showing a
video, and copy on the ad explained to consumers that watching the clip
would not dip into data from their phone plans.
Consumers could then watch a 30-second Scharffen Berger commercial.
Once the clip ended, a message told consumers that they saved two
megabytes on their data plan by watching the sponsored video.
