Overview

Execution

We partnered with Warner Bros to recreate classic scenes from two of the greatest love films of all time: Gone with the Wind and King Kong.Using the latest CGI techniques we inserted a very modern woman, Jane Krakowski star of TV’s 30 Rock, to deliver an ironic twist to these classics.

Each vignette started with Jane tasting Smooth & Dreamy before slipping into a fantasy world where she reshaped the dialogue on her own terms.Smooth & Dreamy Productions launched during the season finale of 30 Rock to leverage Krakowski’s fanbase. Spots ran in other TV favourites on network and cable TV as well as online print, mobile and interactive TV.All media drove consumers online where they could see the full five-minute films, go behind the scenes and even play a leading role in the vignettes.

Outcome

Our unique content attracted massive buzz. Three hundred different placements delivered nearly 440 PR impressions.Our target audience spent an average of 3.37 minutes interacting with our content – seven times the duration of a traditional 30 second spot .Rich media significantly outperformed industry benchmarks, reflecting consumer interest and engagement.

Smooth & Dreamy’s Chocolate Chip variant was the number two new launch based by revenues in the packaged ice-cream sector in 2009.Sales revenues for Smooth & Dreamy are up 16% year on year.
