i-Vu's digital touch screen network provided a funky
environment to advertise The Tudors DVD box set within top hair salons.
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment was the first DVD company to use i-Vu's new advertising opportunity - The i-frame. The i-frame allows key messages to be displayed without interrupting the video advertising. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment used the i-frame to great effect. i-Frame displayed five moving testimonials per 30 second advertisement without interrupting play of the main video.
The objective of the campaign was to promote a 3 DVD Disc Box Set of the
historical television drama series "The Tudors".
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment used i-Vu from 4 December 2007 for
2 weeks on the interactive digital screen network across GB salons.
The objective of the campaign was to promote a 3 DVD Disc Box Set of the
historical television drama series "The Tudors".
The timing was chosen to synchronise advertising at the height of the series and during the festive season, immediately prior to the release of the DVD box set, established the conditions for a successful awareness campaign when the target audience were in a gift purchasing frame-of-mind and festive spirit.
The Tudors campaign was very successful and also immensely popular with staff and clients.
How this was achieved:
1 x trailer of content per 45 minute loop;
1 x 30 second advert per 45 minute loop place apart from the trailer;
1 x interactive page linked to both the trailer and advert.
The page was a rolling montage of screen shots from the DVD, inviting you to text "Henry" to get the wallpaper downloaded to their mobiles.
The i-Frames interactive touch response rate was 0.95%.
This is 95 times the response you would expect from interactive red button on TV.
