How to sell a TV production brand. Oh my, did the boys and girls at
HBO have fun with someone else's money (
BBDO and
Big Spaceship spending between them $7 - 10 million to get it done)
THIS is the most amazing use of cross media to push a media brand i've seen. Everything from
street screenings,
blogs, faq, even
phone numbers plus of course youtube
previews. What I really like is that it could so easily have been a cliptastic experience but has ended up as an exercise in lateral utilisation of the media platforms its broadcasted on. HBO as a brand in the UK is so linked to certain key shows, but here you get much more a sense of what the brands values are. Detail, Realism, Risk and audience reward. While i have seen notes about Voyeur on other sites, big thanks to Ashley Ringrose at
Bannerblog for a fullsome review of the idea.
