A summary of cinema in 20172017 is looking good for cinema, often an overlooked media, the DCM Cinmea Upfronts revealed. The media’s attributes are frequently under utilised: sound on, human and 100% in view, non-skippable, and an integral part of the experience. To highlight this further what happens in an internet minute was brought to light:
  • 150 million emails
  • 65,900 videos/Images posted on Instagram
  • 1389 Uber rides
  • 972,222 swipes on Tinder
Often perceived as an expensive media, Sky’s media boss revealed that the average cost per thousand across all cinema buying groups purchasing media from DCM is £27, which he says can be seen as good value for money when compared to the CPM of videos in social media feeds which aren’t necessarily running with sound on or fully viewed. Miles Carter, creator of the Man on the Moon campaign from adam&eve talked of the great power of storytelling and gave 3 key pointers:
  1. Stand for something – to be understood and remembered – own the moment through emotion and people will embrace the campaign
  2. Know more about your audience. Understand their life stage, their interests and their passions – family are hugely important and those without family resonates with everyone
  3. Be the brand – John Lewis is a company driven through partnership, through a family of employees of look out for each other for the benefit of all – the Man in the Moon embodied this perfectly, evoking greater brand affinity that saw sales and visits surge at the retailer
