A Publicidade no Oscar 2009 #2

oscars1.jpgO público feminino, praticamente ignorado pelas geniais propagandas transmitidas durante o Superbowl, acaba ganhando um novo aliado: o Oscar.

Acontece que, anunciantes que necessitam comunicar seus produtos e serviços para a grande massa da audiência feminina, acabam buscando novos meios para efetivar isso. E o Oscar acaba sendo uma saída pertinente à essas marcas, como Coca-Cola e Hoover, por exemplo.

É óbvio que as mulheres não são as únicas telespectadoras do Academy Awards/ABC, mas acabam sendo uma audiência de altíssima relevância.

Este ano, a Coca Cola Diet começou a sua campanha que visa conscientizar as mulheres aos riscos de uma doença cardíaca.

A modelo germânica Heidi Klum, acabou sendo convidada para ser a porta-voz desta campanha focada nas mulheres de todas as idades. A principal missão da campanha “Heart Truth’s” é estabelecer o conceito de “saudabilidade” proposto pela Coca Cola Diet.

Outro destaque é o das lojas Hoover, que vão se apropriar deste Oscar para divulgar a sua nova linha Platinum Collection, de aspiradores e produtos de eletrodomésticos nos intervalos do Oscar/ABC.

Na mesma onda, a JC Penney vai veicular seis comerciais publicitários, e todos serão para comunicar as novas linhas de vestuário destinadas às mulheres.

Discovery Channel: The Elbe Tunnel aquarium

discovery_tunnel

The famous Elbe Tunnel in Hamburg runs 426 meters under the city’s river. It’s a pity that you never see what’s in the water above you. But we found a way to make it possible. They covered the tunnel’s inside with a spectacular underwater view as it can only be shown by the world’s leading tv-station for nature documentations: the Discovery Channel. The wrapping got installed for one month and was seen by more than 90.000 tourists and pedestrians crossing the tunnel on their way to work.

A Publicidade no Oscar 2009

oscars.jpgAssim como o Superbowl, o Oscar é um evento “televisivo” que atrai um número grandioso de telespectadores. Por esse motivo, as emissoras de televisão que detém os direitos de transmissão destes programas, costumam cobrar (com razão) muito caro para veiculação de comerciais publicitários durante os eventos.

A rede americana ABC, canal oficial da transmissão do Oscar teve que inverter seu caminho tradicional de alavancar os custos de veiculação, salientando o recesso econômico que assolou os Estados Unidos.

No ano passado, a ABC vendeu espaços de 30” por US$1,8 mi. Agora, com a crise, a emissora foi obrigada a fazer uma inédita redução das suas taxas.

Os espaços (individuais) foram vendidos por US$ 1,4 mi à US$ 1,7 mi, dependendo da negociação feita com as agências e os anunciantes. Entre eles: Hyundai, Coca-Cola Diet, McD, Frito-Lay (reveja aqui), entre outros.

Para nós, que olhamos dos “bastidores” – pode não parecer uma mudança estrondosa, mas para os cofres da emissora isso trará um choque um tanto quanto inesperado.

Segundo um estudo da TNS Media Intelligence, isso trará uma queda de 21% no total das receitas da ABC, em comparação com o ano passado, que obteve uma média de US$81 milhões em ganhos. Este ano, o valor do crédito não deve ultrapassar a faixa dos US$67 milhões.

O evento será transmitido oficialmente pela ABC amanhã (domingo) dia 22 de fevereiro. Aqui no Brasil ficaremos apenas com a cobertura via TNT (canal pago), ao vivo, a partir das 22h.

Assista abaixo o comercial oficial da ABC, que promove o 81º Oscar:
