50 million online views - now that’s clever advertising!
Have you seen this video production that Budweiser created for the 2014 Superbowl final? It’s incredible! That’s not an advert I hear you say! I think you’re right. It’s SO much more! Let’s face it, there aren’t that many ads that get a staggering 49 million plus views. And I’m not sure there are many ads that make you feel a greater connection with a brand. Most advertising is interruptive. This isn’t! So, is it an ad? I’d argue not - I think it’s clever content marketing! […]

I’m not saying advertising is dead, but…
…We think it’s shifted! Back in 2012 we won a Telstra Business Award here in WA - it was in the category sponsored by a large media publishing company. Our prize was a fairly substantial amount of money that could be spent in contra, advertising on any of their platforms. Not one to usually go down the advertising route, we didn’t rush in! 18 months later it was a case of use it or lose it! Well, yesterday our one month campaign on a couple of websites came to an end. According to the report sent through, we had had fantastic results! Let me just say, their definition of fantastic isn’t quite the same as ours! “Overall the campaign attracted 153 clicks with click through rates of 0.04% and 0.20% which is fantastic. Our network average for similar activity is 0.03% to 0.05%” We were staggered - 0.03%-0.05% is considered successful? […]

Going it alone is fine, but doing it together is better!
2014 for us is a year of doing it together! We get the feeling we are all entering the “sharing” economy! We certainly have seen that recently with all the work we are doing with our clients. Why go it alone when potentially you could do something together and share the cost! Have a look at this example. WA Ballet (one of our favourite clients) is always looking to use video creatively. Budgets are tight however. But, they do have some wonderful Corporate Sponsors that are clearly partnering for all the right reasons. How could we tell a WA Ballet story and give their Principal Partner, Woodside a production that would work for them too! The end product can be viewed here…but simply it’s a production that marries the idea of VALUES! By combining budgets we were able to film something stunning! Higher production values means more viewers which in turn leads to greater emotional connection with both brands! […]
