    Challenge
    PhotoChannel Networks Inc. established a new Internet destination for photography content, community and commerce – providing ‘shutterbugs’ with overnight digital photofinishing, online photo albums, and shopping for photo equipment. To quickly create awareness and establish dominant mind share with PhotoChannel’s target audience in North America, NextPhase was contracted to produce and place an advertising campaign in targeted media.

The result was a witty ad campaign that grabbed market attention and drove traffic to PhotoChannel.com. Once there, the site hooked visitors with sell-in of online opportunities. The ad campaign targeted the four key demographics – teens, young adults, adult males and adult females.
