Primesight partners with NOW TV to deliver interactive
digital campaign in cinemas
London, 8 August 2014: Primesight, one of the UK’s largest providers of out-of-home
solutions, can today announce it has been appointed to facilitate NOW TV’s new
interactive digital campaign, ‘BackInYourBox’, in cinemas across the UK.
Primesight’s digital 6 sheets will host the ‘BackInYourBox’ campaign in the top ten most
popular cinemas in the UK alongside static six sheet panels located in 304 cinemas
nationwide. The digital creative features a touch screen game based on the well known
arcade hit ‘Whac-A-Mole’, allowing players to tap the colourful characters on screen
emerging from the boxes with the aim of achieving a high score.
‘BackInYourBox’, created by WCRS and facilitated by Mediacom and Rapport, is a
touch-enabled interactive sound campaign created to encourage families to engage
with NOW TV, bringing families together in a fun and leisurely environment.
NOW TV is an internet TV service launched in 2012, with the branded NOW TV Box later
introduced in July 2013. NOW TV provides easy access to hundreds of films from Sky
Movies on demand, pay-as-you-go access to live Sky Sports and must-see shows on 12
of the best pay TV channels including Sky1, Sky Atlantic and Sky Living. NOW TV is
available with no contract across a wide range of connected devices including the
NOW TV Box, mobile devices, tablets, desktop, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and more.
Prior to the campaign launch, NOW TV tested six creative designs for the traditional
poster element using Primesight’s tool Primedesign which assesses how the campaign is
likely to be seen in a cinema environment through a combination of behavioural and
computational analysis. Through this, NOW TV was able to select the most powerful
creative for the campaign based on the findings and recommendations delivered by
Primesight.
Naren Patel, CEO, Primesight commented: “We are excited to be working with NOW TV,
Mediacom and Rapport to create an engaging and impactful campaign that utilises
the full potential of our cinema portfolio. The ‘BackInYourBox’ game is a clever way of
getting the audiences in cinema foyers interacting with the screens and the NOW TV
brand. It promises to be a great campaign.”
Jana Wheeler, Brand Marketing Controller, NOW TV explains: “We were excited by the
interactive element in the OOH package Mediacom recommended to us. WCRS have
taken full advantage of the technology and the outcome is a fun and engaging game
that encourages interaction with the range of fantastic family movies available on NOW
TV this summer.”
Josh Brooks, Media Manager, Mediacom stated: “Primesight’s portfolio fits NOW TV’s
communications strategy perfectly. The digital takeover within ten of the country’s most
visited cinemas adding to the core paper and paste element of the campaign allows
the brand to stand out and engage with families as they enjoy a trip out together.”
‘BackInYourBox’ has been created for audiences to enjoy in cinema foyers each
weekend throughout August.
