Excerpt from the book
3. The Success
According to Gunawardane and Dk (2020), a successful brand activation campaign can be measured by certain principles like uniqueness, brand relevance, or customer reach. In terms of uniqueness, the campaign was a big success since there has been no other film festival that used hieroglyphics as a creative way of marketing. Terence and Shimp (2013, p. 263) also write that unexpectedness is a key to a successful marketing campaign. Generating interest and curiosity is an effective method of attracting new customers as well as enhancing consumer loyalty (Shimp & Andrews, 2013, p. 263). When it comes to brand relevance the campaign represents well the core value of Tribeca, which is to provide a platform for multiple ways to experience storytelling. Regarding customer reach the campaign was extremely present since the hieroglyphs were visible at numerous bus and metro stations, therefore thousand of New Yorkers passed by these advertisements on a regular basis.
