NBN Scores A Touchdown On Super Bowl Sunday

February 24, 2012

Super Bowl Sunday has provided a long tradition in the world of advertising and marketing, it is the time where many companies premiere the years most highly anticipated and expensive commercials to the entire world, as well as introduce new marketing concepts that can determine new trends for the industry. This year, NBN did a B-roll feed in conjunction with Super Sunday. We released teaser preview footage of the new M&M’s ad in the days before Super Bowl XLVI and then the full ad on Monday after the game. This year’s commercial featured the introduction of Ms. Brown, the sixth M&M’s character. Some people don’t think B-roll videos do that well anymore – boy, can they be wrong. The Super Bowl teaser and the full ad received 452 broadcasts and an audience over 40 million. You can see it here: http://newsinfusion.com/events/mms

That wasn’t the only Super Bowl-related project NBN has worked on this year, the experts in our Media Relations department booked a media tour for Skinny Cow, our reporting department compiled ad hoc reports for Rolls Royce, we did station notifications and two days of media pitching on Pizza Hut’s Super Bowl promotions and we did station notification and reporting on the Walt Disney World What’s Next commercials that are filmed on the sidelines in the moments right after the game ends.

Game day was very eventful and we look forward to what may come for next year.

From Black Friday to Cyber Monday: After Thanksgiving Giveaways, Gimmicks and Events

December 8, 2011

This year’s after Thanksgiving sales events made headlines before the holiday season kicked off with the announcement that many retailers will be opening their doors as early as Thanksgiving eve. In an effort to ease tension for those working on Black Friday, Seattle’s Best Coffee decided to give away free coffee in a Facebook giveaway. The client had their own internal monitoring arrangements, but we ran a report just to have an idea of how the story did and we found that the “Free Coffee” story had over 100 broadcasts, with an audience of almost 3.5 million within days of the distribution.

This, along with a story distributed recently for Pizza Hut, is a great example of what works vs. what doesn’t for B-rolls this year. Staged events, contest finales and other gimmicky stories are not doing as well as quick, reader type stories that can be easily digested by both the producer and consumer in under 30 seconds. Pizza Hut came to us wanting to get coverage of a mini Mayflower replica ship made out of pizza boxes. We advised them to go with a news story – A record one million pizzas sold the day before Thanksgiving, the busiest weekday night of the year – rather than the cute kicker item. They took our strategic advice and the results were 40+ broadcasts and an audience of over 1.5 million on the first day.
