"Everybody
Needs a Place to Think" - 麻豆社 FOUR聮s
launch campaign
"Everybody
Needs a Place to Think" is the hook of the launch campaign
for 麻豆社 FOUR, the new cultural digital channel, starting on 1 March.
麻豆社
Broadcast Ltd, the 麻豆社聮s newly-formed commercial venture, completed
the major integrated advertising campaign.
"Everybody
Needs a Place to Think" will break on TV on 16 February and
across cinema, radio, print, on-line and ambient media from 1 March.
Designed to generate awareness and trial of 麻豆社 FOUR, this powerful
campaign also challenges viewer perceptions about the medium of
television.
James
Pestell, Head of Marketing for 麻豆社 FOUR, said: "We are positioning
麻豆社 FOUR as the most intellectually and culturally rewarding channel
on television. The campaign aims to stimulate existing and prospective
digital viewers to access this new free-to-air service from 2 March
2002."
麻豆社
Broadcast Creative Director, Ruth Shabi, said: "The core concept
of the campaign 聭Everybody Needs a Place to Think聮 reflects
麻豆社 FOUR聮s aim to give viewers access to big ideas and brilliant
people. All of the media executions feature a diverse selection
of personalities chosen to be representative of the range, depth
and stimulus provided by the channels output."
The
three TV executions each feature a place of inspiration for a particular
creative figure: Lord Byron聮s Villa Deodati on the shores of
Lake Geneva which was the inspiration behind Mary Shelley聮s
Frankenstein, the Chiltern Hills in Oxfordshire where Ian McEwan
wrote Atonement and the Antioch Baptist Church in Cleveland, Ohio
where Jesse Owens prepared for the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
Radio
treatments feature war poet Wilfred Owen, jazz master Duke Ellington,
country poet and author Laurie Lee and American composer Aaron Copland,
while the print executions represent artist Sam Taylor-Wood, actor
Dennis Hopper, writer Susan Sontag and composer Philip Glass.
Commissioned
by 麻豆社 FOUR聮s marketing team, 麻豆社 Broadcast created and produced
the entire campaign in addition to planning the promotional air-time
across 麻豆社聮s TV, radio and on-line services.
From
March, 麻豆社 Broadcast will supply a comprehensive promotion, play-out
and channel management service for 麻豆社 FOUR including the provision
of subtitling, sign language and audio description for visually
and aurally impaired viewers.
