Described as the first liveadvertisement in modern times, thecampaign is the latest attempt byadvertisers and broadcasters to findalternatives to the 30-second spot.The development of digital videorecorders such as Sky and Tivo,which allow ads to be skipped, hasforced advertising agencies andchannels’ sales teams to collaborateon more innovative attemptsto keep the viewer’s attention.‘We wanted to create somethingunmissable,’ said Andy Barnes,B3035404550the broadcaster’s Sales Director.‘This concept breaks the boundariesof TV advertising,’ he added,highlighting a Channel 4 campaigncalled ‘innovating the break’.The campaign follows initiativessuch as LG‘s ‘Scarlet’ campaign, inwhich the television manufacturerran advertisements appearing to traila glamorous new television show,which turned out to be a promotionfor the design features of its ‘hot newseries’ of screens.Thursday night’s live advertisement,while designed to demonstrate thepower of television advertising, wasbacked up by a complex multimediaand public-relations campaign.The campaign’s developers –including Channel 4’s in-housecreative team, Wieden Kennedy,Starcom, Collective and HicklinSlade & Partners – spent morethan a month pushing the Hondaslogan of ‘difficult is worth doing’before Thursday night’s slot.5560657075A poster campaign, a series oftelevision ‘teaser’advertisements and awebsite have been backed up by digitaladvertising and press coverage. All arebuilding up to a traditional 30-secondadvertisingcampaign,startingon June 1, said Ian Armstrong,Marketing Manager of Honda UK.‘The 30-second ad is alive andwell,’ Mr Barnes said, pointing todata released this week which showedthat commercial television hadenjoyed its best April in five years.For Honda, however, the elementssurrounding the core 30-secondcampaign are designed to generate theintangible buzz of word-of-mouthadvertising, Mr Barnes added.Thursday night’s skydive wouldalmost certainly go on YouTube, MrArmstrong predicted. ‘Commercially,that’s a fantastic result, as it means ourmarketing investment becomes moreefficient because consumers are doingour marketing for us.’read the article again and answer the questions.1 Why did Honda need a new publicity stunt with skydivers?2 Why was the Honda advert unique?3 Why are Sky and Tivo a problem for advertisers?4 What happened in the Honda advert?5 What happened in LG’s ‘Scarlet’ campaign?6 What did the Honda campaign’s developers do?7 What different types of advertising did Honda use?46Unit5,6.indd 4620/11/09 14:13:41
