Lifecapture Interactive and partners roll out radical online strategy for Kruger's SPONGETOWELS®
Unique marketing partnership pushes innovation envelope with groundbreaking digital gaming campaign

Crash AddictsToronto, ON - Lifecapture Interactive has teamed up with Kruger's SpongeTowels®, and their other marketing partners - John St., PalmArnold, Strategic Objectives, Blue Sky and Propeller - to launch a groundbreaking integrated digital marketing campaign that will penetrate the Internet's most popular websites.

Kruger Products, the leading manufacturer and distributor of Canada’s best-selling tissue and paper towel brands, including the successful SpongeTowels® brand, has hired Lifecapture Interactive to design, develop and drive a dynamic interactive contest that will grow brand visibility and capture the right online audience.

‘Spot the Sponge Pockets’ will offer online surfers opportunities to win big while interacting with the fabulously fun campaign on Second Life, Facebook, Myspace, Canoe, MSN, and more. The exciting contest-driven promotion will provide the thrills of instant prizes, as well as have consumers collecting Sponge Pockets™ and soaking up spills with SpongeTowels®.

"We are tremendously excited about the program," said Stephen Blythe, category director for Kruger Products. "‘Spot the Sponge Pockets’ creates a real proximity to the Brand via direct interaction with our Sponge Pockets™ character. The program enables us to re-enforce consumer relevant attributes of absorbency and strength while bringing the fun and frivolity of the Sponge Pockets™ characters to life."

Blythe says the program will break-through communication clutter, thereby creating a favourable and long-lasting connection between SpongeTowels® and their target audience via an irresistible prize-filled contest offering a $100,000 instant win prize, a $10,000 sweepstakes, a relaxing $500 spa getaway and thousands of other instant win prizes.

Incentive-based online games score big with online surfers, and also with big Brands as a cool tool to promote consumer interaction, engage existing consumers and absorb new ones. Gaming is an extremely popular pastime and appeals to a broad demographic, especially amongst women – Neilsen//NetRatings research reports that 15% of online gamers are women between the ages of 35 to 49, comprising a larger percentage than their male counterparts and teen males. Meanwhile, EA Games reports that 42% of online gamers are woman aged 18 and over.

According to Geoff Whitlock, President of Lifecapture Interactive, "It is so exciting to have the opportunity to work with all of these fantastic agencies on a highly progressive Brand. Never before has this type of program been attempted; we guarantee you have never seen anything like this before."

This particular advanced media partnership will push the innovation envelope on Kruger’s behalf using a game plan architected and achieved by the best in the business: Strategic Objectives is developing a national PR campaign to compliment the interactive, while John St. is positioning a national online media campaign and championing the Kruger Brand for the project. Quebec agency PalmArnold is co-ordinating French integration. Contest logistics and rules are the property of Blue Sky; while Propeller is on board with strategic development and email distribution, and providing support to the SpongeTowels.ca website.

Excerpt from Marketing Magazine
[The Work] Digital Eye – Some Canadian online work is great, says SIMON CONLIN, other Canadian work needs more work
Issue: February 26th, 2007 p43

Crash AddictsCrash Addicts (Lifecapture Interactive) - crashaddicts.com

People who just want information fast will not enjoy this site, with its loading bars and 3D graphics. But I like it. Kudos for the painstaking work put into this site. The use of video is good, however, a parental warning on content should be more visible considering some of the witty references and double entendres. It's clearly aimed at a "specif-hick" demographic. Once inside, the graphical map is good, and the 3D section-to-section navigation with swooping camera angles, well produced. At one part of the site (drive-in), there are multiple video clips simultaneously viewed from different angles, a technique pioneered for some award winning F1 racing websites. The attention to detail is very good. Technically this site is well produced; the team vision, project execution and TV show stakeholders should be commended. Amazing Canadian online content-one of those rare sites that you view with a cautious eye but leave the whole experience feeling exposed to something completely different. I applaud the strategy throughout. 8.5/10

Crash Addicts

LIFECAPTURE INTERACTIVE TEAMS WITH BELL AND SUMMERHILL TO BUILD SMASHING NEW REVENUE-GENERATING WEBSITE
Crashaddicts.com site offers advertisers real estate in its wacky interactive world


Crash AddictsToronto - Lifecapture Interactive today launched an innovative website that offers advertisers an opportunity to buy real estate in Landsdowne, the hilarious online world based on the real-life exploits of characters from the popular Crash Addicts television program. Airing on OLN Canada since November, the Crash Addicts reality series, produced by Toronto's Summerhill Television, follows the exploits of several drivers as they compete each week to first build, then smash up, various vehicles in a demolition derby.

Lifecapture Interactive, with financial support from the Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund, produced the entire online property, including creative development, video production, 3D animation, sound design, as well as website development and the ongoing hosting solution.

The Crash Addicts online version features bios of the characters, a show schedule and an online forum for fans, but it's in the interactive world of Landsdowne that the fun happens. Visitors are provided a bird's-eye view where they can fly over various buildings in a rural location. They can choose to visit "The Barn" where cast members such as "Hot Rod" Joey Kemp or Tammy "Bubbles" Bruce tell tall tales, or head over to "The Baitshop" to buy Crash Addicts merchandise, or they can even get in a car to go to "The Drive-in" that features smash-up derby clips from past episodes.

"Crash Addicts online extends an existing story and brand online, as well as providing a cutting-edge, fun experience through the seamless integration of Video, Flash and 3D technologies," says James Milward, Senior Creative Producer at Lifecapture Interactive. "The partnership with the Bell New Media Fund and Summerhill has enabled us to articulate a new kind of online advertising that reaches far beyond banner ads."

A "For Sale" sign on a vacant plot of land just down the road from the other attractions in the interactive world offers companies the opportunity to embed their brands seamlessly into the storyline of this rich interactive experience. Milward says this type of immersive advertising offers marketers a way to connect with a specific demographic that come to a site looking for an entertainment-based experience.

"The tone and excitement of our television series has been perfectly captured in the interactive website. As a result, the appeal of this property is greatly enhanced for the audience and advertisers alike", said Lee Herberman, Executive Producer, Summerhill Television.

LIFECAPTURE INTERACTIVE IS CHOSEN AS A FEATURED FINALIST IN THE TORONTO STAR'S BUSINESS CHALLENGE.

LIFECAPTURE INTERACTIVE IS CHOSEN AS A FEATURED FINALIST IN THE TORONTO STAR'S BUSINESS CHALLENGE.Toronto - The core of this series involves profiling 9 Toronto businesses over several months as they work through business issues and build their companies. Lifecapture was paired with Thomas Astebro a business consultant and Professor at Rotman School of Management.

As a recognized business strategy consultant Thomas sat down and discussed specific business issues companies like Lifecapture face in the market. Some of his input helped LCI re-strategize a few points of their business plan.

A secondary storyline that spawned from Lifecapture's discussions with the Star was the fact that many of the profiled companies also required consulting on how to take better advantage of the internet. Judy Steed at the Toronto Star noticed that Lifecapture was well positioned to consult these companies and arranged a few meetings; the rest you can read in the Toronto Star, every Monday until the end of April 2007.

Planche says based on success in 2006, the Festival has projected a ticket sales increase of five per cent from the e-marketing techniques it's put in place working with Lifecapture.

LIFECAPTURE INTERACTIVE WITNESS TO THE MIRACLE OF UNITED CHURCH’S WONDERCAFE.CA
Development team supports vision of Smith + Roberts ad campaign in building stunningly successful online presence


WonderCafeToronto, Ontario - Lifecapture Interactive today launched the wondercafe.ca as part of a three-year marketing campaign designed by Smith + Roberts Communications, working on behalf of the United Church of Canada. Wondercafe.ca went online to astounding media coverage and 1000s of unique site visits within hours of its posting. Lifecapture Interactive enabled this modern day miracle using the latest advancements in online technology, including AJAX rules and techniques. Leveraging the design templates from Smith Roberts, LCI was responsible for the systems design, information architecture, and overall website development.

"Working with Smith Roberts on their creative vision for Wondercafe was an absolute pleasure. We had the chance team up with a progressive ad agency with great ideas and execution strategies," says Geoff Whitlock, President, Lifecapture Interactive. "We are thrilled with their results and with the stability of Wondercafe.ca. Even with 16,000 users a second, the final hosting solution did not crack."

Wondercafe.ca is part of a three-year, $10.5 million media campaign designed by Smith Roberts meant to provoke debate on the "deep and persistent attitudes and images of organized religion." The campaign also includes a national magazine, community newspaper advertising and a grassroots program.

Whitlock says having a highly developed online community with user profiles, discussion boards, blogs and other interactivity is all part of creating a thriving and sustainable online community presence. The integration of off- and online marketing channels is a significant bridge for national advertising campaigns, allowing advertising agencies to track effectiveness and the results from media campaigns.

"One of the goals of the campaign is to spur discussion about religion and attract awareness of the United Church of Canada to new audiences, namely those 30 to 45 year olds, looking for a more modern standpoint on matters of faith.," says Malcolm Roberts, President, Smith Roberts Communications.
