Cinemark and Cingular’s Brilliant Marketing Strategy

I really wish I was a movie pirate because I just saw the single best marketing technique in a long, long time.

I went to see Eragon tonight, the movie about the dragon rider.  I like that stuff..  Give me a break.  Anyway, rather than the traditional ‘Be courteous and silence your cell phones,’ there was a 30 second commercial of a guy apologizing to his girlfriend with a person annoying the hell out of him.

After the commercial, the Cingular logo popped up with a message informing the audience to turn off their phones.  Talk about turning dead advertising space into a potential goldmine!

Now if only Cingular was offered in my area!  They haven’t keyed in on that yet.

 - If anyone sees the video on YouTube or anything, let me know.  I can’t find it.  I found the press release though –

  1. Online Money Coach…

    He talks about being able to start a business while you have very few expenses, and I wholeheartedly believe in that– I started my Internet marketing business 2 years ago now, and when I started, my wife and I lived off of her 750/ month graduate ass…

  2. We really need to know how to get the attention of our customers, and where to put up those useful lines out of nowhere that can bring a huge impact on their reactions. Pretty interesting indeed.

  3. Thanks for the informative article. My wife’s calling me for dinner So I need to run off without reading as much as I’d like. But I put your blog on my RSS feed so that I can read more.

  4. This valuable writing was very unique to browse, I enjoyed it very much. I am going now to e-mail it to my collegues to permit all of them understand this too. Thank you greatly.
