  • A campaign is under way in New York to promote a weeklong celebration of the Academy Awards — the film industry’s equivalent of New Year’s Eve in Times Square
  • The campaign is being sponsored by NYC & Company, the city’s official tourism, marketing and partnership organization, which is staging the week’s events in collaboration with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The goal is to stimulate interest in the 82nd annual presentation of the Academy Awards, scheduled for Sunday, with activities in New York carrying the theme “Oscar and the City.”
  • The public events, which start on Monday, include screenings of Oscar-winning films with New York themes as well as exhibits of Academy Awards and film posters. The week is to culminate with an “Oscar Night and the City” viewing party on Sunday, at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, where paying guests can watch the ABC broadcast of the show.

To Introduce Justin Bieber's Girlfriend Fragrance, a Social Media Campaign - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • As befits a performer whose following is concentrated so much among young people, the campaign to promote Girlfriend, with a budget estimated at $20 million, is focusing on social media like Tumblr and Twitter. Mr. Bieber’s Twitter feed is followed by almost 22.9 million people, and he has close to 44 million “likes” on Facebook.
  • The new media aspects of the campaign will also touch on the ads appearing in traditional media. For instance, Mr. Bieber is going on Facebook and Viddy, a mobile video sharing service, this week to invite fans to enter a “sing-off” on Tumblr to help create a 60-second television commercial for Girlfriend.
  • The agency working on media planning for the Girlfriend campaign, Media Kitchen in New York, part of the Maxxcom Global Media division of MDC Partners, also handled those duties for the Someday campaign.

  • Traditional media has a place in the campaign, Mr. Lowenthal noted, citing the commercial and print ads, photographed by Ben Watts, that will run in magazines like Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Seventeen and Teen Vogue. They can be amplified by new media outlets that are fueled by the fervor of “all the fans who want to get closer to Justin,” he added.

    Fragrance No. 2, called Justin Bieber's Girlfriend, is scheduled to arrive the week of June 18 at Macy's stores, and will also be available this month at retailers like Belk, Dillard's, Nordstrom and Sephora. Girlfriend will arrive a year after the introduction of the first scent endorsed by Mr. Bieber, Someday, which became the best-selling celebrity fragrance ever and the best-selling new women's fragrance of any kind brought out in 2011. As befits a performer whose following is concentrated so much among young people, the campaign to promote Girlfriend, with a budget estimated at $20 million, is focusing on social media like Tumblr and Twitter

M&M's to Unveil a New Speaking Role at Super Bowl - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Ms. Brown is the second female in the M&M’s cast, after Ms. Green, and like her colorful counterparts she will be imbued with a distinct personality. Ms. Brown is an intelligent woman with a sharp wit who finally decided to reveal herself after working for decades behind the scenes as “chief chocolate officer.”
  • Their devotion to the Super Bowl comes at no small cost. NBC is charging an average of $3.5 million for each 30 seconds of commercial time in the game, compared with an average of $3 million for each 30-second spot in Super Bowl XLV on Fox in February 2011. Even at that price, commercial time for Super Bowl XLVI has been sold out since Thanksgiving, NBC recently disclosed.
  • One way to ensure that a Super Bowl commercial is “not a splash, a flash in the pan,” Ms. Sandler said, is to make it the centerpiece of an elaborate campaign that takes place before, during and after the game. In fact, the spot will serve to “kick off a year of activity” to introduce Ms. Brown, she added.

  • In a teaser effort that begins this week, Ms. Brown will arrive in social media, taking over the M&M’s fan page on Facebook, at facebook.com/mms, and sending messages on Twitter, where the character will have her own account with the handle @mmsbrown.
  • There will also be print, online and mobile ads as well as a deal to incorporate Ms. Brown into the radio program “Elvis Duran and the Morning Show,” syndicated by the Premiere Networks unit of Clear Channel Communications. Other elements include events in Los Angeles and New York, displays in stores, radio commercials and appearances for Ms. Brown during episodes of the new season of “The Celebrity Apprentice” on NBC, which begins on Feb. 12.

Richmond, Va., Makes a Bold Appeal for L.G.B.T. Tourists - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    In his column this week, Stuart Elliott explains Richmond Region Tourism's new campaign targeting LGBT prospective tourists. The campaign, created by students at VCU Brand Center, is based on the seminal moment of coming out. Except in this case, it's the City of Richmond. You can see more on the microsite at www.Richmondisout.com.  We'll discuss this and other campaigns as they relate to communication theories in class.  I'll ask students to identify fundamental decisions made in targeting, objectives, budgeting, and positioning. I'll ask students to consider who the target receiver should identify as the message sender and which stage of the hierarchy of effects is in play. We'll discuss whether the target audience is expected to have high elaboration likelihood and what that means for the campaign's creative choices. Finally, we'll identify the influence tools (Cialdini's) that are evoked in the campaign.  Interested? Read Stuart Elliott's full article!
