Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit
OBJECTIVE:To seamlessly integrate the Cingular brand into Universal Pictures’ film Bring It On: All or Nothing and create a wrap around cross-promotional campaign to launch their newest technologies in mobile downloads, video conferencing, streaming, and file transfers. CAMPAIGN:To educate potential and current Cingular Wireless customers on their product range and the different capabilities of their phones and services, from downloading to file transfers, messaging, video conferencing, photo sharing, etc. The producers, directors and writers of the film integrated Cingular Wireless into the script and highlighted various products and technology from the company. The main talent, Hayden Pantierre, Rhianna, and Solange Knowles, used the product on a consistent basis in the film to connect with fellow classmates, cheerleaders, friends, etc. Various scenes in the film showcased the use of video, phone, and text messaging, downloads and file transfers. We also developed a national cross-promotional campaign that provided Cingular Wireless with pre-screenings of the film at local high schools of their choice. In addition, an alternate ending of the film was shot and available for exclusive downloads from Cingular’s web site and on the DVD. We hosted cast-signings at Cingular Wireless stores to help drive traffic to their franchises in youth targeted areas. A competition was created to where high school cheerleaders could film a 15-second cheer with their phones on why they should be featured on the Bring It On: All or Nothing DVD. The winning video was then placed on the Cingular web site and the DVD. Ringtones from the film and Rhianna’s theme song were offered for free on the Cingular web site, as well as extended footage, which were both available for download. The campaign was promoted heavily through a specific viral marketing campaign, as well as through print and on-air media. A :90 second commercial spot was shot to highlight the both the film and Cingular’s involvement.

LONDON
Synopsis: Inside London is a one-hour dramedy that takes the viewer inside the cutthroat, high-society world of British Aristocracy at its finest. The series follows Addison Rose, a 29-year old African-American woman on her journey of life and discovery. It chronicles her reckless attempt at an impossible love affair with Lord Charles Montgomery, a 36-year old British Bollywood film producer and heir to Renishaw. It captures her struggle at fitting into one of Londons most coveted groups. The show follows a cast of six aristocratic Brits and two Americans on a journey of love, power, money, status, and deception. The show offers two unique perspectives: one from the group of elite Brits who view the American as unsuitable for her love interest and the world she is trying to fit into, yet a breath of fresh air to their very private group, and the other is provided by Addison who struggles to make sense of and understand a world that at times seems completely unnecessary. Inside London is a coming of age story and a tale about the sometimes painful and delightful journey about the ups and downs of life.
