The Emotional Trailer – APPIES Asia Pacific 2016 Gold Winner
07 Oct
With “The Emotional Trailer” McCann Worldgroup struck gold yet again at the APPIES Asia Pacific 2016, this time from Melbourne.
This was another great example of achieving success through connecting and engaging with the audience.
Campaign Synopsis
MIFF is a foreign language film festival. Due to the increasing mainstream cinema production combined with a highly competitive cultural environment MIFF was struggling to maintain its relevance and growing its audience.
MIFF needed to find a better way to connect with our audience. This connection had to transcend language barriers and engage with the audience on a more visceral level.
With the Emotional Trailer, McCann Melbourne created a way for MIFF to collect emotional data, that in-turn created a new emotional script for each film.
This activation content was then used to generate interest in films that are otherwise, very hard to sell.
In doing so, MIFF had achieved record sales.
