Brand	Republic	 Covers	News	of	Our	 Collaborative	Miller	 Win	With	Other	 McCann	Worldgroup	 Agencies	in	Korea

Miller Brewing Korea has hooked up with McCann Worldgroup Korea (McCann Erickson, Universal McCann, and Momentum) to take charge of the ATL and BTL communications of Miller Genuine Draft and other Miller products in the Korean market. The budget has not been confirmed, but it is estimated to be close to one billion South Korean Won (US$673,359) annually. The brewer made the announcement after a competitive pitch between McCann, Diamond Ogilvy, and Publicis Welcomm. SAB Miller opened its Korean office last year, and had no incumbent agency. “Although Miller has been in Korea for many years, the brand was previously managed by a local distributor with limited activity,” said one source. “The beer market has been dominated by two local brands – Cass and Hite. However, with the growing popularity of up-scale bars and a change in drinking culture and habits, the imported beer segment is gradually gaining share,” the source added. http://www.brandrepublic.asia/Media/searcharticle/McCann-Worldgroup-wins-Miller-in-Korea/2008/34745

The Promotion: Swank Manhattan jeweler Michael C. Fina (MCF), well known for its bridal registry and Internet and catalog business, has no trouble attracting women to its Fifth Avenue location. But getting men to pay a visit is a little tricker.

Four	years	of	 Momentum	 Praise	From	Event	 Marketer	Magazine

2009: WE SAY: The ultimate agency benchmark, the company every shop on this list (dudes, admit it) grades themselves against. The work is heavily anchored in sales generation and the portfolio may be the world’s greatest collection of brands. The Verizon program that uses church choirs to drive sales within African-

American markets—genius. Just genius. RECESSION BUSTER: Document it all. Momentum outfits all staffers with video cameras to document everything in the field for use in program tweaking and enhancements.

2008: Domestic and global, on the street and online, here and there and everywhere in between. If there was a textbook on event agency evolution, Momentum might be footnoted on every other page. What was once a promotion company has become a true global engagement franchise, locked into both small and gigantic accounts that leverage the shop for every damn trick in the book. Client retention globally stands at 85 percent, and we don’t see that number dropping anytime soon. Game on.

2007: We say: The streak continues. Still the shop other agencies hope to aspire to one day. The biggest clients, size XL ideas, and a global evolution that is rewriting how it’s supposed to be done. Hey, don’t take our word for it, papi. Take a look at the people, the accounts, the work, the awards, the culture, the growth, the offices, the—well, you get the point. The worldwide American Express account is still where the real magic happens, but the work for A-B, Coke and Verizon simply kicks ass.

2006: “Momentum Worldwide is, quite simply, the ‘it’ agency. The shop every other agency wants to be, the place everyone wants to work, with the most outrageous list of clients, winner of every award in the book and it’s still just getting started.”

Momentum/Italy	 “Kill	the	Mouse”	 Promotion	-	HP

In support of the launch of HP’s Touch Smart PCs, Momentum Italy was tasked with developing a program that lived in-store as well as online to increase product awareness, demand generation and on-site traffic generation at retail. BACKGROUND: The HP Touch Smart is a touch-sensitive PC with a special software that simplifies access to photos, videos, music, and applications. Dump the mouse. You don’t need it anymore! STRATEGY: To create an activity completely centered on the “touch” concept, underlining an essential HP Touch Smart characteristic. IDEA: We designed a game based on the concept of “kill the mouse” since with the Touch Smart, a mouse is no longer needed to operate your computer efficiently. To play “Kill the Mouse” people had to crush the mice on the screen of the HP Touch Smart physically, with their fingers. This forced them to have a true-to-life interaction with the computer and demonstrated it’s ease of use, speed and sleek factor. Prizes included their very own HP Touch Smart PC, gadgets and vouchers. LOCATION: The promotion took place in thirteen Mediaworld and Saturn stores in the HP area as well as online via Facebook.

The Manchester office was charged by our Nestle

client to design a promotion that aided women in They were tasked with giving Nestle’s FITNESS

losing any weight gained over the Christmas season. customers a tool they could use on the go, everyday to control their caloric intake in order to lose and maintain weight.

To do so, the team proposed to build two different

tools that could be used as a calorie reference device to help make informed decisions about what food to eat. The tools were: - a mobile application that could be downloaded via WAP push or through a USB lead and - a desktop widget

The aim of using both of these was to integrate this application into the user’s everyday life.

The applications contained two main features – one to count the amount of calories consumed by the user. The other is to keep track of calories burned during exercise and activities during the day.

The promotion went live in January across ten markets and has shown strong redemptions thus far. Stay tuned for more from the FITNESS team in Manchester!
