A DVD That Smells Like Domino's Pizza

2013-05-17T11:18:27Z

[Wanna add a little heat to your client's next campaign. Check this out! It's from our colleagues at our sibling Crain Communicaitons publication, Advertising Age]Takeout pizza and a DVD are a natural fit for many. So Domino's Pizza in Brazil decided to combine the two in a campaign via Artplan Sao Paolo.In partnership with 10 video rental stores in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, the brand used rented DVDs as media. About 10 discs each of 10 different new release titles such as Argo, 007, Dread And Dark Knight were stamped with thermal ink and flavored varnish, both sensitive to the heat.While people were watching the movie, the heat of the DVD player affected the disc. When the movie ended and they ejected the disc, they smelled pizza. They also saw pizza: the discs were printed to look like mini pies, and carried the message: "Did you enjoy the movie? The next one will be even better with a hot and delicious Domino's Pizza."In this age of streaming video, the idea might seem a bit anachronistic. However, "in Brazil streaming services like Netflix and iTunes are relatively new, and for people with good social conditions," said ArtPlan art director Diogo Barbosa. "Also our broadband connection isn't as fast as that used in the U.S., and because of that we still have video rental stores in your neighborhoods."

ABC, with Nielsen, To Test Measuring Ads in Videos Delivered on Mobile Devices and Tablets

2013-05-15T11:42:34Z

[Today's news is about a major step in getting better measurement from Nielsen. It comes from our colleagues at our sibling Crain publication, Ad Age]By Jeanine PoggiAdvertising AgeABC will begin measuring advertising in videos viewed with mobile and tablet apps during a trial run with Nielsen, the network said at its upfront presentation to ad buyers Tuesday afternoon.It will be the first test expanding Nielsen's Online Campaign Ratings to mobile, allowing ABC to measure audience demographics and understand the reach and frequency of online campaigns within apps, according to executives. Nielsen's online ratings currently include video viewed on computer and tablet browsers.The move comes as ABC introduces a Watch ABC app that will allow cable and satellite TV subscribers to stream ABC's live signal to mobile devices, in addition to the sort of on-demand video that has been the mainstay of network TV Everywhere apps until now.Measurement will be a hot-button topic during upfront negotiations -- when TV networks look to secure commitments for much of their prime-time ad inventory in the upcoming fall season -- especially as advertisers clamor for quality, long-form digital content. While money has been shifting into online content, a lack of recognized universal measurement methods has undermined the movement.But viewers are certainly watching. Adam Gerber, VP-sales development and marketing for ABC, said consumption of ABC content via its existing app surged 71% from February 2012 through February of this year.The test will run through the summer, and Mr. Gerber said it will not change ABC's guarantees for this year's upfront.ABC earlier this year began using Nielsen's Online Campaign Ratings to provide guarantees to advertisers for video programming distributed both on TV and online. The effort, dubbed ABC Unified, was meant to let advertisers make one buy across all screens and better understand the online audience of an ad campaign using metrics comparable to TV. Although ABC Unified already includes apps, campaigns were being measured by applying the online data, so the new test will give advertisers a more accurate picture, Mr. Gerber said.Cheryl Idell, exec VP-client solutions at Nielsen, said the company will also look to partner with other networks on expanding online campaign ratings to mobile.#

'Bonnie & Clyde' Miniseries to Run Simultaneously on A&E, History and Lifetime -- A&E Networks Announces New Shows, Heads Into Upfront With Restructured Ad Sales Team

2013-05-07T20:12:25Z

By Jeanine PoggiAdvertising AgeA&E Networks will run its upcoming "Bonnie & Clyde" miniseries simultaneously on Lifetime, History and A&E later this year, the company plans to announce Wednesday at its upfront presentation in New York.The unusual simulcast, which will be pitched to viewers as a "House Party," will allow A&E Networks to combine female-skewing Lifetime viewers with male-skewing History and A&E's broader adult audience -- all the better, the thinking goes, to offer ad buyers larger reach at one time. It is the first such attempt by the company but is likely to be repeated if it works."Bonnie & Clyde" is the latest big-budget TV miniseries, where History has been spearheading the genre's return to prominence -- first with "Hatfields & McCoys," whose finale averaged 14.3 million viewers, and then "The Bible," whose finale got 10.3 million viewers. Their success also spawned History's first scripted series, "Vikings," which has been renewed for a second season.History is now committed to building out its scripted programming, planning two additional miniseries: "Houdini," which will star Adrian Brody, and "Sons of Liberty." It will spin "Hatfields & McCoys," meanwhile, into a reality show.The A&E network will use the upfront -- part of TV's annual effort to sell ad time in the upcoming season -- to introduce its next scripted drama, "Those Who Kill," which stars Chloe Sevigny as a police detective who tracks down serial killers. The network enters the upfronts following the season finale of "Duck Dynasty," which drew 9.6 million viewers, and the success of its most recent scripted drama, "Bates Motel."Lifetime will add a scripted series, "Witches of East End," about a family of witches, and "Devious Maids," a new project from Marc Cherry and Eva Longoria airing in June. It is also renewing the reality competition series "Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition" for a second season.A&E Networks plans to emphasize its broad success, arguing that it accumulates audiences without over-relying on any one program, genre or night, and without any costly sports programming. The company has seen an executive shakeup in recent weeks, with Nancy Dubuc rising to president and CEO, succeeding Abbe Raven, who was named to the newly created role of chairman. The ad sales team has also been ramping up and restructuring, with an emphasis on partnerships and research.The partnership group, led by David DeSocio, is working to develop custom creative executions in the network's specials, while the research team, led by Michael Greco, is spearheading studies to provide clients with insights into viewers' passions and marketing to men and women.As A&E Networks focuses on selling content across platforms, the company has also formed a new business development group, headed by Louis Jerome and Susan Webber Gatto. Jim Agius, Amy Baker and Peter Olsen, have also been promoted to oversee advertising on A&E, Lifetime and History, respectively."We are not just selling cable TV anymore. ... We need to think of it more broadly than selling TV ratings points," said Mel Berning, president of ad sales, in an interview ahead of the presentation.

USA Network to Market 'Modern Family' Like It's an Original Program -- Rips Page From 'Psych' Playbook to Promote Expensive Acquisition

2013-05-07T13:51:10Z

By Jeanine PoggiAdvertising AgeUSA Network is calling all Mofys -- its nickname for rabid "Modern Family" fans it's banking will tune in when reruns of the sitcom premiere in the fall.Alexandra Shapiro, exec VP-marketing and digital at USA, is promoting the launch with the kind of aggressive marketing plan usually reserved for first-run shows. The 14-week push includes a robust slate of on-air, digital and on-the-ground initiatives.There's a lot riding on "Modern Family," which the network acquired in 2010 after its freshman season on ABC for a reported $1.4 million per episode. It premieres on USA Sept. 24. It will air five nights per week in prime time and serve as a platform for USA to launch its own original comedies.The network estimates there's only 8% duplication of its audience and "Modern Family's" on ABC, and Ms. Shapiro said there's a significant opportunity to attract a chunk of the about 10 million people who watch the sitcom on broadcast. There's reason to be encouraged. "The Big Bang Theory" on TBS regularly pulls 3 million viewers in prime time, and during one week in April, seven reruns of "Big Bang" were among the top 40 cable TV shows.While "Modern Family" has a respectable social presence, it doesn't generate the same buzz as other TV hits of its size, Ms. Shapiro said. This is something she is looking to change."There are limitations ... when you only have it on for a half hour a week," she said. "We think there is the opportunity when it comes on USA with the increase in frequency ... that gives us the ability to socially enable and super-charge this in a way you could never do on a broadcast platform."USA is ripping a page from its "Psych" playbook (whose super fans are "Psychos"). In March, "Psych" allowed viewers to vote on an alternate ending for its 100th episode. The campaign generated 166,000 social mentions and 13 trending hashtags; in comparison, "Modern Family" averaged 43,000 social interactions in 2013, according to Trendrr.The network will feature Mofys in a series of tell-all spots tentatively called "Mofy Anonymous" or "Mofy Testimonials." It will also embark on a nationwide search for the ultimate modern family.Every episode will have a second-screen component that includes trivia, polls and custom advertising content, among other features, and during a Sunday night segment titled "Modern Family Live" it will show real-time results from second-screen engagement on-air. Participating accrues points, and those with the most at the end of the night will be featured on-air as the night's super fan.USA will also tap the reach of its parent, NBCUniversal and Comcast, making the show a marketing priority across the company's portfolio of TV networks and digital platforms. Ms. Shapiro even sees the theme being integrated into NBC's news division, which could tackle themes related to modern families.

MTV Greenlights Pilot for TV Adaptation of 'Scream' Film Franchise at 2013 Upfront -- Network Also Announces Three New Series Greenlights, Third Season of 'Snooki & JWoww' and Impressive Slate of 15 Returning Hits

2013-04-26T13:12:44Z

Press release from MTV:NEW YORK, NY (April 25, 2013) -- MTV announced today a pilot greenlight based on the hugely successful horror film franchise “Scream” with Dimension Films for MTV, plus the addition of three new series to its diverse programming slate, including “Generation Cryo,” “Nurse Nation” and “The Hook Up,” at its annual Upfront Presentation at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. In addition, the network announced the season three renewal of “Snooki & JWOWW” and highlighted an impressive programming slate of 15 returning hits. MTV is a division of Viacom Inc. (NASDAQ: VIA, VIAB). MTV and Dimension Film’s one-hour pilot will reinvent the successful horror comedy franchise that spawned three sequels and unleashed “Ghostface” to a legion of unsuspecting fans. MTV and Dimension Films are in discussions with various writers for the potential series which would be slated for a summer 2014 debut on the network. Dimension Films is in discussions with the films’ original director and renowned filmmaker Wes Craven to direct the one-hour pilot. DiGa Vision will serve as a producer. The compelling new one-hour docu-drama “Generation Cryo” explores the issues faced by a new generation of kids coming of age who were conceived via anonymous sperm donors and are redefining what it means to be a family. The series will document the journey of Breeanna, a 17-year-old only child, who recently logged onto the Donor Sibling Registry, a website dedicated to connecting sperm donor families, and learned that she has at least 15 half-siblings all fathered by a man none of them know. Now, Bree’s on a mission to meet all of her half-brothers and sisters and lead them on a nationwide search to find their biological father. “Nurse Nation” (working title) is a new docu-series that follows nine twenty-something travel nurses all assigned to work at a new hospital in a brand new city for 13 weeks. Some of them have been doing this for years, while others are on their first tour. Cameras will be there every step of the way as they take on the unique challenges and intense pressures of working in the medical profession as they face life or death decisions every day. But it’s not ‘all work and no play.’ On days off, they take advantage of all that their host city has to offer, meet new people and potential new loves while often trying to keep previous relationships and friendships alive. It’s the ultimate ‘work-hard/play-hard’ lifestyle. “The Hook Up,” (working title) hosted by Andrew Schulz of MTV2’s popular hit series “Guy Code,” is a dating show that will air as an afternoon strip on MTV. Individuals looking for a match will choose from four potential suitors based on their social media history. With the help of their closest friends, the contestants will try to separate the contenders from the pretenders to see if what you see is really what you get. It was also announced that “Snooki & JWOWW” has been renewed for a third season. The second season was the #1 original series in the time period across all TV for P12-34 as well as the #1 series in its time period across all TV for W 12-34. The third season of “Snooki & JWOWW” will continue to follow Jersey Shore BFF’s – Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Jenni “JWOWW” Farley – as they continue to navigate the radical changes that life keeps throwing at them. As Snooki and JWOWW have discovered, when you have your best friend by your side, there’s nothing you can’t face together – including marriage? MTV2 today announced that comedian, actor and host Nick Cannon will debut the re-imagined improv comedy show “Nick Cannon Presents Wild N Out” on Tuesday, July 9 at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT. Joining Nick will be celebrity team captains including comedians Kevin Hart and Lil DuVal of MTV2’s “Guy Code,” professional basketball player Amar’e Stoudemire, along with rappers Mac Miller, 2Chainz, Machine Gun Kelly, A$AP Rocky and Joe Budden. MTV2 also announced the addition of “Guy Court,” to its upcoming programming slate. In the half-hour comedic courtroom series, which will premiere in fall 2013, the laws of manhood will be upheld as some familiar MTV2 faces will determine the guilt or innocence of a variety of cases in accordance with Guy Code. Each real life case will be judged, defended and prosecuted with the perfect combination of comedy and justice. In addition, “Mac Miller and the Most Dope Family,” which recently wrapped its first season as the highest rated original debut season in MTV2 history, will return for a second season as the young music superstar embarks on a series of new adventures in his personal and professional life. The series will begin production later this year and premiere in early 2014. The Upfront event was hosted by MTV News’ Sway Calloway plus Nikki Glaser and Sara Schaefer of “Nikki and Sara LIVE,” which was recently renewed for a second season, and included appearances by Mac Miller of “Mac Miller and the Most Dope Family;” Tyler Posey and Holland Roden of “Teen Wolf;” Nev Schulman and Max Joseph from “Catfish: The TV Show;” Vinny Guadagnino, his mom Paola and Uncle Nino, from the new series “The Show With Vinny;” cast members from the upcoming “Nurse Nation;” Nicole Byer, Jamie Lee, Tanisha Long and Carly Aquillino from “Girl Code” and Andrew Schulz from “The Hook Up.” The presentation also featured performances by Emeli Sandé who performed “Next to Me” and Selena Gomez who hit the stage to perform “Come & Get It” and “Love You Like a Love Song.” MTV also presented its partnership with Jewelry for a Cause to help take illegal guns off the street with “MTV x Caliber” bracelets. These limited edition bracelets feature unique serial numbers from illegal firearms returned via gun buyback programs and are part of the Caliber Collection, a line from Jewelry for a Cause that is made, in part, from the steel of reclaimed illegal guns. Available for $40 at caliber.MTV.com, proceeds from these bracelets will be donated to help fund future illegal gun buyback amnesty programs.

2013-04-23T17:51:25Z

Press release from DIY Network:NEW YORK -- April 23, 2013 -- DIY Network, the go-to destination for rip-up knock-out home improvement television, announced today that it has added four exciting new series featuring celebrities with a passion for home renovation and historic restoration to its popular primetime line-up. Currently in production, Vanilla Ice Goes Amish, The Rev. Run Project, The Daryl Hall Project and Bronson Pinchot Saves America are set to premiere later this year and in 2014.“Celebrities own and renovate homes just like the rest of us -- some even know enough about renovation and real estate to flip homes for a profit,” said Kathleen Finch, general manager of DIY Network and sister property HGTV. “Watching Vanilla Ice swing a hammer, Rev. Run and his wife debate over what color to paint the living room, Bronson Pinchot restore a historic residence, or Daryl Hall deal with his local zoning board, makes them real and fascinating to watch. Fans rarely get the chance to see celebrities deal with these kinds of issues and it is fun to see them tackling the same things all homeowners do.”Debuting later this year, the new series Vanilla Ice Goes Amish features Vanilla Ice, ‘90s pop icon and host of DIY Network’s The Vanilla Ice Project, as he learns from the greatest craftsmen in the world. With no frills, no music and no power tools, Vanilla Ice tackles life, including building a barn, at the largest U.S. Amish settlement in Holmes County, Ohio. The rock star renovator also returns with a fourth season of The Vanilla Ice Project next year.Joseph Ward Simmons, best known as “Rev. Run” from American hip hop group Run DMC, keeps it in the family as his 9,000 sq. ft. home in New Jersey undergoes a complete renovation in The Rev. Run Project. Premiering in 2014, DIY Network documents Rev. Run, his wife Justine and his three children, as they give their 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom a much-needed facelift. The series captures this family-based project as they update the entire house, including the great room, kitchen, garage and more. They even add an indoor swimming pool!Bronson Pinchot, Hollywood’s favorite character actor and salvage and renovation expert, also gets a new 2014 spin-off. In Bronson Pinchot Saves America, Pinchot and Mikey, his trusted sidekick from DIY Network’s The Bronson Pinchot Project, scavenge their way through the U.S. to rescue previous artifacts from demolition.Also next year, DIY Network debuts The Daryl Hall Project, featuring singer/songwriter Daryl Hall from musical duo Hall & Oates as he fuels his second passion for historic home restoration with his latest project, a quaint 1700s Connecticut farm house. In the new series, Hall plans to revive this 1-bedroom into a new family home that was originally built by a widowed sea captain. Hall’s care in historically accurate restoration must be melded with the mandates of modernity and small town regulations.DIY Network’s current celebrity home improvement programming includes The Vanilla Ice Project (Sundays at 10 p.m. ET) and The Bronson Pinchot Project (Saturdays at 11 p.m. ET). Viewers can also become fans of DIY Network and interact with other home improvement enthusiasts and do-it-yourselfers through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.

By Michael LearmonthAdvertising AgeHulu's latest foray into original content is a half-hour animated comedy about a disgraced former record exec who flees to the suburbs to give motherhood a try -- with mixed results.Former "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria plays Rudi Wilson in "Mother Up," a 13-episode series making its debut this fall on Hulu and on Canada's City Television. Hulu and Canada's Rogers Media put up the money for the show, which is being executive produced by Ms. Longoria, former Sony Pictures chief and Mass Animation founder Yair Landau and "Family Guy" and "American Dad" co-producer Michael Shipley.Hulu acting CEO Andy Forssell and Ms. Longoria previewed the show during Ad Age's Digital Conference in New York.Hulu is getting what would be the broadcast-TV window on the show in the U.S., but Mr. Landau sees the show as having the same after-life as a show that starts out TV."I don't think of it any differently than launching on Fox on a Friday night," he said. "We think once it has aired on Hulu, it could have a home on any number of cable networks, and obviously we will be selling it into video-on-demand systems like iTunes and Netflix."In an interview Wednesday, Ms. Longoria said stars are increasingly looking beyond traditional broadcast and cable as markets for content. "Creativity expands when distribution expands," she said.The world has changed since "Desperate Housewives" drew 30 million viewers a decade ago. "TV in general is an elevator that's gone down," she said. "It's not affecting just one network; those [big] numbers just don't exist.""Mother Up" will portray Rudi Wilson's hard-rocking lifestyle in the suburbs, drinking and swearing included, but the content will be more "Family Guy" than "South Park.""In many ways we are delivering "Family Guy" from a female-empowerment standpoint," Mr. Landau said. "All of us who are parents feel like we mess up a lot and there aren't a lot of moms on TV that mess up in the way real moms do."It's a big investment for Hulu, but Mr. Forssell says this kind of programming has done well for the service."We think the audience will be large, and we've invested accordingly," he said. "'Family Guy' and 'American Dad' are frequently top-10 shows on Hulu, and there's a vibrant female audience."Like all of Hulu's originals, "Mother Up" will air on Hulu and its pay service, Hulu Plus. "We want to get this in front of as many people as possible," Mr. Forssell said.Mr. Landau says while animation has been popular in prime time, female leads are rare. "While there are a lot of funny women and big voices expressed, they haven't been in animation, so far," he said.
