Making Sure Fox’s Fans Get Animated!
WHEN 20th Century Fox decided to give their Animation Domination brand a fresh appeal, they turned to TEA for help in creating a new umbrella identity for their key TV titles.

Promoting products such as Futurama, The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad and King of the Hill, TEA rebranded the range as ‘Get Animated!’

Creative executions use bright primary colours to reflect the range’s content and afford them a bold appeal to create maximum standout in store. As well as designing the advertising campaign, TEA produced the definitive style guide for the use of all third party promotional parties as well as a strong digital platform too.

TEA also produced all artwork for the premiere, with 12 types of tickets, production notes and 2,500 masks that were handed out to kids in the crowd. To really bring the event to life, behind the ‘yellow carpet’ was a 400-foot long, ten-foot high recreation of Springfield, featuring the likes of Mo’s Bar and Barney’s Bowlarama.

Horton And Friends Cause A Stampede 
WHEN Dr Seuss’ latest cinematic offering had its UK release in the shape of Horton Hears A Who, TEA were in charge of all UK theatrical.

TEA designed the press and outdoor campaigns including bus sides, character based 6-sheets, 4-sheets, 96-sheets, (to introduce the colourful cast) and in-cinema activity such as wall charts, standees and activity sheets. The key to the creative was to mirror the big, vibrant and most importantly the fun elements of the film.

Conjuring Up More Online Magic
WHEN best-selling children’s book The Spiderwick Chronicles was transformed into a big screen adventure, TEA sprinkled a dose of magical marketing dust over the film’s online campaign.

As part of client Paramount’s brief, TEA developed an international toolkit that had a three tier roll-out for agencies worldwide to adapt to their needs. The first stage included standard adverts with the second using rich media (TV clips and teasers) as well as expandable ads that let you use the ‘Seeing Stone’ to catalogue the weird and wonderful creatures secreted about your browser. The third tier included overlays and an MSN theme pack plus a homepage takeover for five different territories.

Having designed this international toolkit, TEA then rolled out the UK leg of the campaign as well as producing a microsite for the Cartoon Network and online Cinema Manager’s Guide. The paperfree version of the CMG proved so popular that Paramount want to take this digital route from now on.

WITH the forthcoming launch of EA Games’ Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince, TEA are responsible for the video game’s packaging as well as the key art for promotional use.

This is the third time TEA have worked on the games franchise for EA, using a process that has gone from pencil sketches of original ideas to guidelines for the photoshoot with Daniel Radcliffe in order to create the re-touched key art.

The Stones Roll Into Town
BILLED as the biggest premiere of the year, Martin Scorsesee’s Shine A Light went off with a bang with the help of TEA designed promotional material.

This included invites, tickets and security passes for the Leicester Square event that was beamed into 100 cinemas around the country in real time. For £15, fans got to watch all the red carpet action and get their commemorative Stones T-shirt before watching the film itself. To promote the event, TEA produced 6-sheets, press ads and in-cinema visuals and as a late postscript we’re currently working on the packaging for the DVD release.

Jump To It!
From the director of Mr & Mrs Smith and The Bourne Identity came the action adventure Jumper, starring Hayden Christensen as one of a select few who could ‘jump’ to anywhere in the world at the speed of a thought.

For the film’s theatrical release, TEA produced 6-sheets, press ads and an Imax wrap – taking the creative and wrapping it four times around the vast exterior of the Southbanks IMAX cinema. This was complimented by aspirational ads on January’s Blue Monday (allegedly the most depressing day of the year) asking people where they would go if they had the powers of a Jumper.
