A brand is a type of product manufactured by a particular company under a particular name. In my opinion I have created a brand identity for my product. The way my product looks taps in to an already established market and by creating these original looking products; I have created a brand that has an established target audience.
I believe the magazine review and the poster effectively market the film because the poster is eye catching and new adaptation of the original Horror-Zombie posters. This is exciting to look at and leaves a bit of mystery surrounding the content of the film whilst clearly showing the genre of the film and age rating. A wide range of media, especially social media, can help when attempting to reach a target audience that have been fragmented by new technologies. My target audience is 15 to 18 year olds and in order to reach this audience I would create Facebook and twitter pages and begin to spread rumors about the film online causing word of mouth to be the way in which more and more people hear about my film. A wide range of film have become very successful by doing this, for example The Blair Witch Project and The Paranormal Activity series have become over night successes by using social media and word of mouth to become famous.
In addition to using social media I would also put my poster in more obvious places such as on buses because It is more of a conventional way to market a brand but in addition to this I would also create a marketing stunt and paint onto walls in famous places the title of the film run, in addition to this I would pull a another marketing stunt such as the zombie prank in New York that the makers of The Walking Dead did in order to promote the new series (www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tLGz7073Vg) .Although this would have leagl complications it would make the film more controversial and create free advertising.In addition to this marketing stunts such as the one I would also have advertisements of television of teasers linked to the film during popular television programs that people aged 15-18 would watch such as The Walking Dead and Game Of Thrones, because these programs are forever increasing in popularity. In conclusion I believe that the combination of my main task, my film Run and my ancillary tasks, the movie poster and the magazine review effectively market my product to my target audience, because i have identified the ways to reach my target audience and done that and then i have gone further and created marketing stunts in order to make my film more known.
I addition to this I believe that I have successfully have began to create a brand that could evolve into being as popular as the walking dead.
