Similasan Selects Creative Bube Tube as the Advertising Remedy of Choice


In North America when you have a cold, they say Bless You!, in Germany, its Gesundheit! and in Switzerland, they could say Similasan! The multi-remedy cold and allergy relief brand may seem hard to pronounce at rst, but the name Similasan has been known on homeopathy and drug store shelves in North America for years. Originating in Switzerland over thirty years ago, the brands line of products include safe and natural remedies for everything from eyes, ears, nose and throat irritations, to anxiety and sleeplessness. Over nine million people suffer from allergy symptoms in Canada alone and environmental changes are lengthening the season. In addition, the winters can be harsh, and strolling through the pharmacy to nd a cure for cold symptoms is an experience almost everyone can relate to. In such a climate, cold and allergy remedy brands can gain new customers and increase awareness; but with so many stuffy ears, how does a unique sounding, European name like Similasan get heard? The answer is to be seen and heard, and nothing does this better for companies than television. Similasan selected Creative Bube Tube as the agency of choice; their expertise in the natureceutical market was clear after launching an impressive and successful television campaign for Cold-FX in 2012. As Similasan was keen on appealing to a health conscious family market, Creative Bube Tubes advertising experts realized that the best television commercial would be popular with moms and children alike. Opting for soft-coloured animation, highlighting mothers reaching into the medicine cabinet for the cure to multiple

child ailments, the agency had clearly come up with an advertising remedy for success! The animation proved uniquely heart-warming, eye-catching, and welltargeted to Similasans target customers.

Prosperity ONE Launches Second Television Advertising Campaign with Creative Bube Tube
In todays challenging economy, being able to rely on a nancial agency that represents your interests becomes exceedingly important in the quest to achieve your nancial goals; but the search for a bank you can trust can often be a daunting task. National banks have a tendency to protect their own interests as global economic pressures rise and they often lose sight of the need to represent their clients as a rst priority. Prosperity ONE is a member-owned credit union that invests in the nancial success of their clients over the long term. They stand apart from traditional banks, which rely more on generating larger volumes of clients than they do in investing in the success of a small community of members. Whether its banking, borrowing,

insuring or investing, Prosperity ONE credit union keeps the best interests of its individual members in mind, and makes offering personalized nancial attention a top priority. In contrast, to compensate for any client relationship deciencies, national banks often have big budgets to dedicate to mass media advertising; this helps strengthen their image and form a perceived personal connection with their clients. For local credit unions like Prosperity ONE, when standing head-to-head against a national bank in the advertising arena, that same reliance on personal, one-on-one relationship building can leave their branding and limited location restrictions at a competitive disadvantage. To hold their own, Prosperity ONE realized the need to increase their mass media presence. When they rst approached top advertising agency Creative Bube Tube in 2012, they were convinced that an impactful, yet affordable TV commercial could help Prosperity ONE stand out from their competitors. Creative Bube Tube was the perfect agency for the job; theyre aware of the challenges faced by smaller niche businesses because building them up is how the agency got its start. The challenge was to highlight the credit unions key differentiators while maximizing the effectiveness of their limited budget. The resulting television campaign was so successful that Prosperity ONE recently engaged Creative Bube Tube to create a second commercial, incorporating a limited time contest offering to drive client leads. By presenting a competition to win a ve hundred dollar GIC, Creative Bube Tube injected this second campaign with a new key element, which is increasing inquiries into the credit unions services. Contesting is a key component in the next generation of successful television advertising states Jenny Munford, Agency founder, CEO and CCO. With more people watching television using a second device like an iPad or smart phone, the TV advertising response rates measured in website visits has skyrocketed. Harnessing this increased trafc with the power of a contest is the perfect way to

turn these new website visitors into leads, which can then be marketed on an ongoing basis and even contacted with special offers. Strategically its a big win, and only one of the many ways that Creative Bube Tube is helping to revolutionize the television advertising industry with best practices that can help both small players and big players alike. Its so affordable; almost any business can afford TV paired with social media, and both of these elements working in partnership can achieve results that neither could even hope to aspire to on their own. states Mrs. Munford. Prosperity ONEs TV commercial is presently airing on Rogers TV listings in Milton, Hamilton, Oakville, Burlington and is advertised online on the Weather Network. The contest ends May 26, 2013.

Creative Bube Tube creates targeted TV commercial for Academy of Design


Are you creative, passionate and dream of coming up with new visual ideas and designs for a living? From the homes and cities we live in, to the clothing we wear, top quality design is everywhere around us. We all have some sense of how to adapt ideas we nd in our surroundings into our lives, but professional designers need extensive training in order to master their craft, or their efforts can fall at when trying to come up with new and engaging layouts. Untrained amateurs often have a hard time understanding the tried and true principles that facilitate great design work. As a

result, many untrained creative individuals know what they like, but they dont know why. For more than two decades the Academy of Design has been helping students from all over the world to develop into skillful artists and entrepreneurs while making valuable peer and industry connections. Aspiring fashion designers can turn their passion into a career in just eighteen months by enrolling in the Academy of Designs top quality programs, and interior design courses are available either online, in class or as a combination of the two. With such effective programs available, the Academy of Design recognized that a well-targeted, compelling television commercial could help drive youth awareness and encourage the most promising individuals to apply to their design programs. Aware that the commercial needed to be visually dynamic in order to win over the creative innovators of tomorrow, the Academy of Design turned to Creative Bube Tube, a top advertising agency. The key to good design is often knowing where to start. states Jenny Munford, founder, CEO and CCO of Creative Bube Tube. Aspiring designers obviously have a critical eye for visual aesthetics, so the commercial needed to look good; but effective advertising also needs to speak to the personal motives that encourage your target audience to act. We had to ask on a deeper level why people get into the eld of design, and understand their anticipated challenges when trying to break into their industry. Creative Bube Tube realized that an individuals internal creative drive is a primary motivator that attracts them to enter the design eld. To harness that desire, the new commercial starts by presenting the companys slogan Whats your passion? as a question directed toward the viewer. The commercial then shows interview footage of graduates as they describe the positive impact the Academy of Designs practical education has made on their lives. The nal result is a candid and relatable commercial with a strong call to action that is sure to gain credibility in the minds

of aspiring designers.

Television Advertising in Canada and its Benets


Hey Canada, have you ever wondered whats the best way of reaching out quickly to a large audience of people to drive sales or brand awareness for your company? Television advertising is historically proven to be more powerful than any other form of advertising out there, but a lot of Canadian businesses still dont understand how they can best harness the power of TV to build their brand, increase web activity, and ultimately boost sales for their company. International brands like Coca-Cola or Nike have traditionally used TV to stand out and create a globally unied presence in which they seem to tower over the competition in terms of brand recognition; this in turn boosts their sales across the board. With a retail distribution network like these brands have, many Canadian business owners assume that TV is a model of advertising reserved for these legendary corporate giants. After all, Coca-Cola is available at nearly every grocery and convenience store and can be purchased quite easily in countries across the globe; but what you need to remember is that even giants started small. These Titans of consumer culture want you to believe that small, regional businesses could not benet well enough to make advertising on television nancially protable. Surely we cant play in that arena, or well get squashed. Isnt that right?

articles by Colin Edgley | Copyright 2013 | Contact 647 . 835 . 5327 | fedorafilmvideo@gmail.com

Here are a few facts about TV that multinational corporations dont want Canadian advertisers to know:
In Canada, TV can be purchased either nationally, regionally or even locally. Television is good for more than just selling consumer product goods. Besides consumer products, anything from dental ofces to nancial services to retirement communities can be advertised very effectively using TV advertising, and often these see a very good return on investment. TV is affordable when compared to other forms of advertising. Newspaper, radio or magazine advertisements can range in the tens of thousands of dollars, yet often are not as effective for many businesses. TV on the other hand can affordably generate millions of impressions, and has the capacity to leave a memorable emotional impact that resonates in the mind of your consumer.!! Youre not the only one who thinks that being on TV makes you a top player. Were not suggesting that you!spend beyond your businesss capacity to recover ROI, but we are saying that theres a powerful benet to be gained from dedicating a strong percentage of your budget toward proven, effective advertising. TV works BETTER when paired with social media. Welcome to the era of Social TV! For all Canadian businesses, no matter what your current advertising plan looks like, television is an option well worth your serious consideration. The evidence has repeatedly shown that well executed television advertising helps build brand awareness, posterity and sales, which can foster signicant growth for your organization.

Which Social Media Platforms Should I Use to Reach My Customers?


Social media can be a powerful tool for advertising your business and reaching out to your customers. Every day, the audiences for social platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest are growing, and businesses are starting to see real value in connecting with their target demographic through these non-traditional methods. But with all these platforms to choose from, you may nd yourself asking the question: How do I know which social media platforms work

articles by Colin Edgley | Copyright 2013 | Contact 647 . 835 . 5327 | fedorafilmvideo@gmail.com

best for my business? According to recent Nielsen studies, men prefer LinkedIn and Google+, and women prefer Pinterest and Facebook. When developing any advertising strategy, nding the magic bullet that works best for your company requires an understanding of what makes each medium unique. Different social media platforms are used in different ways, and some may work better for your unique business to engage your customers than others. It also helps to understand which demographic groups prefer which platforms. For example, if you sell your products primarily to other businesses, you might want to consider that LinkedIn is designed as a business networking platform. Platforms like Facebook, on the other hand, are more about personal relationships, and they allow you to target your ads to individuals based on their specic niche interests. Pinterest on another level is all about sharing images, whether theyre graphs, drawings or photographs. This can be very handy for showcasing and building an online buzz around your merchandise. Lets look at some of the hard data that you should evaluate when trying to pair up your advertising strategy with your target customers (Pew Internet survey, U.S., December 2012): Two-thirds (67%) of online adults surveyed use Facebook. Facebook is used by both men and women, skewing slightly toward women. It is by far the most popular social media platform on the Internet across all age groups. Twitter is used by 16% of Internet users, most often by 18-29 year olds, and is used pretty evenly between men and women, skewing slightly toward men. Pinterest is used by 15% of Internet users. It is used by women signicantly more than by men.! Pinterest is used mostly by individuals aged 18-49 and is

interestingly slightly more popular in rural areas than cities. 13% of Internet users use Instagram. It is used by women more often than men, and is most popular with 18-29 year olds. When choosing the best social media platform for your business nothing works better than experience, but taking a statistical approach can be a great starting point. Working with an advertising agency can greatly benet your campaign, and ensure youre leveraging the best of these technologies properly. When pairing your social media campaign with TV, a strong awareness of the best platform can make or break the success of your campaign, and the secret formula can work wonders for your business.
