The folks at NFFTY are forward-thinkers who needed a marketing solution that worked and wouldn’t break the bank. We helped them reach their audience — a group that skews young and alternative — while utilizing resources in the most effective way possible.

We were the only marketing tool in NFFTY’s quiver. It was a bold move on their part, but we appreciate their trust and it paid off substantially.

Another flawless victory — and another perfect alliance. We’re looking forward to upping the ante next year!

National Film Festival for Talented Youth – NFFTY – Makes an Important Choice

admin — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 04:45:45 +0000

There are plenty of ways to get the word out about your event,

but the National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY) chose just one this year — guerrilla marketing through posterGIANT.

In only three years, NFFTY has become the most influential film festival and support organization for filmmakers 22 and under. This year’s festival — based in Seattle — will be screening a record-breaking 190 films from 33 states and 16 countries. “It’s going to be a fantastic festival for film lovers of any age,” says NFFTY founder Jesse Harris.

So why did NFFTY choose to put all its eggs in posterGIANT’s basket?

“We have a very youthful audience so alternative marketing like wildposting and such has worked well for us,” says Harris. “Guerrilla (marketing) is just different and fits with our audience and festival. We basically did no other paid advertising this year. We got a lot of people saying they saw the posters in streets and in retail, so I think it definitely works.”

posterGIANT is a proud sponsor of NFFTY, as well as the proud executor of its campaign — a customized combination of wildposting and a targeted retail campaign.

Pro-Bono? Or Perhaps “Pro-Bonobo”

We’re well aware of the irony (or synergy) of a guerrilla (y’know – sounds like “gorilla”) marketing company helping raise money for a chimpanzee sanctuary — but you’d be a chump if you didn’t want to help these chimps!

These chimpanzees are refugees from the entertainment and biomedical testing industries and they need your help.

June 13 is the second anniversary of the arrival of the Cle Elum Seven to Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest (CSNW) as well as a celebration of Negra’s birthday. In honor of that, CSNW is in the middle of a fundraising effort that — in addition to other things — would replace three caged windows in the playroom with chimp-proof glass.

Look at sweet Negra on the poster. Doesn’t she deserve a birthday present?

We’re proud to be conducting a pro-bono street-level campaign on CSNW’s behalf. Now it’s your turn to step up to the plate!

Another successful fundraiser. President of posterGIANT Doug Cox, also serving on the Operation Ward 57 Board of Directors sends his gratitude to all those who gave support to this event.

And here’s the official word:
