NEW DELHI: The competition amongst television channels for TRPs have spilled over into the outdoor domain as well. In a race to outshine each other and to draw maximum attention, plain vanilla campaigns have given way to striking innovations. In line with this, UTV Action has rolled out a highly innovative campaign in Mumbai and Gurgaon to promote its ‘Movie of the Month’ - Legion. The campaign has been executed by OAP. The campaign rolled out in mid of March and will be taken off sights post the movie on March 26, 2011.
The movie, ‘Legion’ which is going to be telecast on the channel, has been showcased in the outdoor in an innovative fashion. Keeping the art work and concept of the movie, the angelic look of the Hollywood actor – Paul Bettany in the movie has been brought alive on the outdoor properties. The channel in association with its outdoor agency has executed an innovation, where cut-outs of the actor with flapping wings have been created on billboards and mobile van mounted displays at high traffic areas. The wings have been attached to a motor to replicate the flying motion. The motorised innovations have been done at Mahim Causway and JVPD in Mumbai, whereas static cut-outs have been created at Western- Express highway in Mumbai. Adding on, a large hoarding on a mobile van in Gurgaon has also been deployed to create high impact.
