Objective
PHILIPS “INTERRUPION” CASE STUDY
THE CHALLENGE:
After winning the Philips HD account in September, Dentsu was charged with delivering a TV spot in time for pre-Black Friday. Which, as anybody who has ever produced a TV commercial knows, is an impossibly tight schedule. The back-story: Philips was the first to launch flat-panel TVs – way back in 1998. And they haven’t done any advertising for their TVs in the U.S. since. Our job was to announce their re-entry into the HD market with a bang. The message: “Hey, Philips is back and we have great HDTVs.”
THE SOLUTION:
Our brand platform – Made to Move You - was the launching pad for our creative insight: when people are engrossed in their TVs, it’s hard to get their attention. Of course, the content of the show is a major reason of interest but a high quality TV can add quite a lot to the “lost-in-the-experience” effect. We decided to push the “absorbed” to the extreme.
THE RESULT:
It’s still too early because the spot started running only around Thanksgiving but initial consumer reactions indicate that the commercial has done its job – grabbed viewers by their eyeballs and make them sit up and notice Philips.
