A new G Unit site for Reebok

Reebok has launched a micro-site to promote its 50 Cent’s new GxT II line. Zugara did the job, also creating a stickball advergame. The site also presents the TV spot and a “behind the scenes” special, the RBK ringtones will be added soon. Usually I don’t enjoy sites which heavily use photographs, but in this case I very much like the animation effects when you move from one section to another.

Discover the RBK Streets

Zugara has created a new site for Reebok. RBK Streets is a cool site where users can hang around, interact with the environment to discover Reebok’s shoes and an impressive range of goodies. The site works for branding, since it ties in sport, lifestyle and music under the RBK banner. It also presents a promotion featuring 50 Cent and a contest where you can create your own mix, upload it, and 50 Cent will judge it. Furthermore, there is a loyalty-type program for RBK. As the user plays the games and interacts with the site, he/she earns ‘street cred’. There is a contest each month where the person with the highest street cred amount wins. Additional cred is earned the more a person plays either the DJ game in the 40/40 Club (S. Carter area) or in the Alley-Opp game at the Above the Rim Court.

Reebok: ugly but it works

On iMediaConnection the campaign featured this week is Reebok: all eyes on us. The sport brand developed a micro site to engage basketball fans (and prospects) in an interactive and entertaining experience. As Tony Quin, President at IQTV said, the initiative is good but not great. They decide to take an innovative approach to navigation and content. There’s a lot of esploration and discovery, probably to much for the average users. But for teenagers it might be the correct choice…

Use the Internet to support Tv ads

iMediaconnection features this week an interview with Micky Pant, Reebok’s vice president of global marketing and recently named “Interactive Marketer of the Year” by Ad Week. Mr Pant takes us in the backstage of Reebok’s latest campaigns like Terry Tate and WhoDunIt telling us how they came up with creative ideas. In particular, it’s interesting to read Pant’s opinion about funny commercials, whose branding effectiveness is often under process. After watching the Terry Tate spot during the Super Bowl, 60 percent thought the advertiser was Reebok and 30 percent thought it was McDonalds… But the most interesting part of the interview is the one in which Pant tells about how Reebok determines its media mix:

“We use TV not to communicate a message but to direct traffic to the Web site and create promotions online. That creates a multiplier effect beyond reckoning.

Marketers, keep note of this!
