One of Bleacher Report's new YouTube offerings is dedicated to a year-round discussion of the NFL draft while another offers updates on the college recruiting scene. The weekly shows are made by veteran TV producers and promise to offer penetrating insight into topics like the "NBA's most notorious heckler" and "candid memories from current and former NFL stars on their draft experience." Another channel borrows from Bleacher Report's infamous "5 whatever whatever" formula and offers a daily round-up of buzzworthy stories hosted by minor MTV personality Desi Sanchez.
This article touches on the need for services that make it easy for viewers to discover content from multiple sources: TV, online, social, VOD, etc. Specifcally, the article mentions a service called LocateTV, which lets users track actors, tv shows, movies, etc. and notifies them when they are on-air. Could be useful for something like the Verizon/NFL tie-up to track talent, etc.
To enter, consumers simply have to snap a picture of the special Coors Light SnapTag, which is found on product packaging, in-store displays, out-of-home advertising, digital ads and other branded materials, and send it in via their phone's standard messaging capabilities.
The program is supported with banner advertising on NFL.com and Facebook. Out-of-home advertising appears in locations such as bus shelters.
"The target demographic of the campaign is males ages 21-28," said Ryan Lindholm, Chicago-based client partner at Razorfish. "Razorfish identified that Coors Light could take advantage of the SnapTag's ability to maintain consistent branding while also implementing promotional variations with a change of the SnapTag Code Ring."
