Unique Live Streaming Boosted Novozymes' Campaign Performance
COPENHAGEN, April 12, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Video banners and online videos are increasingly coming into use among
advertisers to pique a target group's curiosity. The struggle for attention
is tough, and therefore it is important to think in terms of new and creative
approaches. In January, when Novozymes published its annual report, they
decided - as the first company in the Nordic region to do so - to utilise
live streaming directly in banner advertisements.
The technology was supplied by digital marketing company Adform in
cooperation with streaming company Qbrick Denmark, and the marketing results
were spectacularly positive. The innovative campaign setup, with over 158,000
unique frames, contributed greatly to the dramatic increase in the number of
visitors to Novozymes' annual report site compared to last year, despite
having a smaller budget this year. At the same time, the live streaming
banner attracted significantly more attention than a traditional banner and
resulted in a click rate that was 70% up on last year!
"We want to make the world aware of how our biological solutions can
replace oil-based products in everything from petrol to washing powder, and
help the world's industries to make more and better products out of fewer raw
materials," explains Kirsten Laugesen, Corporate Media Manager at Novozymes.
"And we want to communicate this message in an innovative way. The new
banners attracted a great many more visitors to our annual report site this
year than last, despite our basic premise of fewer banner views and a smaller
budget."
The campaign, targeted primarily at investors, was carried on Borsen.dk,
Business.dk and Euroinvestor.dk. In addition to live streaming, the campaign
comprised a pre-presentation teaser banner and a looping banner that
"re-broadcast" the annual report meeting after the event had taken place. The
three banners were set and timed beforehand with the help of Adform's online
platform, so that graphics and messages did not need to be replaced during
the campaign.
"Technologically we have come a long way," says Lars Anthonisen,
Marketing Director at Adform. "Video banners are now widespread, so it
certainly pays for advertisers to think in terms of more creative
superstructures."
Versatility is the key word when considering the creative video
opportunities that Adform can deliver. The Video Cube format - an interactive
cube that the user can rotate and use to activate film clips - enhances
interaction, while social sharing widgets integrated into the video banners
increase the prospects of spreading the campaign message. Further examples of
