(One of First to Deliver iTV Commercials for Major Household Consumer Brand to DVR Users)
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Procter & Gamble and The Media Group (TMG, formerly known as Turner Media Group) are giving nearly 12 million interactive TV subscribers of EchoStar Communications Corporation and its DISH Network satellite TV service a convenient way to experience Tide to Go® - a portable stain removing pen - through an interactive TV advertising campaign.
The iTV ad campaign featuring Tide to Go pens will run in October through mid-November 2006. The interactive ad, or i-Ad, features instant access to usage information for Tide to Go, coupons, sweepstakes, and the TV advertisements, including entertaining outtakes from the ads featuring Kelly Ripa, co-host of the morning talk show "Live with Regis and Kelly."
Developed by DISH Network and TMG, Tide to Go's comprehensive iTV campaign consists of 30-second TV spots starring Kelly Ripa scheduled to run across dozens of cable networks that link viewers via an on-screen pop-up message, or "trigger," to an i-Ad or web-like environment on their satellite TV. Viewers simply use their TV remote to do the following:
- Request a coupon to save 50 cents off Tide to Go products.
- Telescope to a TMG-owned channel housing two minutes of Kelly Ripa outtakes.
- DISH Network customers with DVRs will have unique instant access to view either of two 30-second spots starring Kelly Ripa.
- Enter instantly to win a trip to one of America's great amusement parks.
- Enter the Tide to Go i-Ad through banners on the DISH Home Shopping portal or by interacting with Tide to Go 30-second TV commercials.
"Tide to Go was designed from understanding our consumer's need for innovative stain removal solutions that go beyond the laundry room," said Sally Sarratt, Tide Brand Manager. "It's certainly fitting for Tide to take advantage of emerging technologies in order to highlight the features of this groundbreaking household product. As our consumer explores new technologies, we plan to be right along with her."
"We're delivering to advertisers compelling technologies like on-screen triggers, i-Ads, set-top box audience analysis and requests for information or RFI's," said Gary Turner, CEO and chairman of The Media Group. "Together, DISH Network and TMG are setting the pace for the industry by delivering iTV ads to three times more homes than any other U.S. television provider."
"Proctor & Gamble is the first major household consumer brand to reach beyond the traditional 30-second commercial and bring consumers information and coupons they can use while never leaving the television," added Chris Kager, president of TMG's The Ad Group.
"We've built powerful tools for advertisers who are increasingly looking for ways to connect with viewers beyond traditional 30-second commercials," Susan Arnold, vice president of Programming at EchoStar's DISH Network. "At the same time, we're giving our more than 12 million viewers an enjoyable and compelling interactive TV experience from the comfort of their couch."
