Studio provides creative, editorial and post services for spots introducing WOW! service in communities across the country.
11 Dollar Bill provided graphic design, editorial and post-production services for a new campaign for Wow! in which the speed, quality and reliability of the company’s broadband service has people shouting its name.
Created by Boulder agency Made, the campaign promotes the launch of Wow! service in communities around the country as “the ultimate internet experience.” Voiceover describing the benefits of the service are accompanied by quirky user-generated video clips, each one ending with someone exclaiming “Wow!” The spots feature people wowed by new cars, cute babies and monstrously large fish. Even a tortoise cries, “Wow!”
“This campaign is targeted toward people just being introduced to Wow!’s internet, TV and phone packages,” says Made Senior Producer Andrew Campbell. “We want them to know they’re getting a bigger, faster, more robust network.”
11 Dollar Bill tapped freelance graphics designer Stephanie Nestorak to design and edit the spots, working from actual user-generated content selected by the agency’s creative team. “Made provided great material and Stephanie shaped it into a story that’s a lot of fun,” says 11 Dollar Bill Executive Producer Lisa Effress. “She did an amazing job in breathing life into amateur footage and making it look great.”
The new spots build on a campaign from earlier this year that combined colorful, upbeat graphics with eccentric user generated content in touting Wow!’s speed and pricing. 11 Dollar Bill provided comprehensive creative and technical services for that work as well. “We’ve developed a fantastic relationship with 11 Dollar Bill,” says Campbell. “We are often faced with tight budgets and schedules, but they always make it work. Each time, they approach it with imagination and skill, and always kill it.”

Sonic Branding For Social Media: Engage, Align, Connect
By Chad Cook -- With more than five billion people accessing social media daily, savvy brands understand the importance of cultivating a strong social identity. They devote massive resources toward brand awareness, audience targeting, content strategy and community engagement. Yet, while they know that social platforms are critical to boosting sales and attracting new customers, many neglect one of the most effective tools for connecting with consumers: sonic branding. Marketers often associate sonic branding with catchy mnemonics used by big brands like McDonald’s, Netflix and Intel in their advertising. But that is a very limited view of what sonic branding is and what it can do. Sonic branding is a way to build awareness and stimulate engagement across all touch points, from advertising to broadcast digital, in-person and social. And it’s not limited to members of the Fortune 500. Brands at all levels can benefit from a sonic identity that is memorable, engaging and reflective of its core values. Sound has been scientifically proven to be deeply tied to memory and emotion. There’s a reason that certain songs stick in your head and bring back memories formed years or even decades earlier. So, it’s surprising that sonic branding is often an afterthought in marketing plans. That is especially true in social media marketing. Faced with tight deadlines and strained budgets, creative teams are often tempted to select music for their content simply because it “fits.” Unfortunately, that may result in content that is in tune with what’s trending but is out of tune with brand identity. Effective sonic branding, by contrast, requires thoughtful strategic planning,... Read More
