Editor's Notes
- Origin films of recent times have made their mark predominantly with young males. Star Trek would be no different, with a surfeit of mind-blowing action and visual effects, a dynamic young cast, and the chance to see the birth of a legend. The futuristic setting & “rebel without a cause” James T. Kirk storyline would also resonate most strongly with this audience. Whilst young males would undoubtedly be the main drivers of box office performance, Star Trek would appeal to a wider audience as well. Older people remember the original series (and spin offs) whilst the lure of the young, good-looking cast would prove strong for females. And of course, hardcore Trekkies would be queuing up see the film first. These groups were not targeted extensively, but small, relevant upweights benefited the overall campaign.
- May 8 (sandwiched between Wolverine and Angels and Demons) Start nearly a year out.
- Rather than target a discreet, receptive audience, Star Trek aimed to reach the maximum number of people possible, by casting the net far and wide. In order to convert non-Trekkies, the environments and formats for this campaign mirrored the awe-inspiring scale of the film, dominating the attention. As opposed to the polarising nature of the series, this film aimed to appeal to everyone. Therefore the media had to feature universally “cool” and iconic environments and the ability to promote talkability.
- This campaign aimed to establish Star Trek as the biggest & best action-adventure of the early summer, that just happens to be set in space. To do this the campaign had to overcome any negative connotations the brand name elicits, by associating with iconically cool media properties that the audience knows and loves. Through this association, Star Trek would be accepted and greatly anticipated by an initially skeptical audience Whenever and wherever there was an incredibly popular, innovative, bold and exciting media property, Star Trek dominated through impactful placements, formats and creative. Star Trek’s campaign pushed boundaries through innovation in itself, not in the form of geeky technology, but ideas that transcended the medium and wowed audiences. In the period leading up to Star Trek’s release, the audience would be in no doubt as to the film they were most looking forward to.
