Recent trends have increased the popularity of online video advertising. Here are some of our clients who have chosen to run their branding campaigns with Targeted Video Commercials (TVC) on AsiaOne.
 

Bee Cheng Hiang Branding Campaign - Chinese New Year 2009
In Singapore, Chinese New Year is an especially popular season for enjoying New Year goodies. Bee Cheng Hiang, a well-known household brand for BBQ bakkwa and other snacks ran a series of ads that included banner tiles and leaderboards across AsiaOne Network sites such as Soshiok.com, omy.sg and STOMP. Serving as a reminder for readers to shop for New Year delectables in attractive festive packaging as ideal corporate gifts, Bee Cheng Hiang created a celebratory atmosphere in the spirit of giving. In particular, its TVC featured a specially-customised frame surrounding the TVC (called ‘skinning’), trade-marking the theme of New Year ambience and festivity.

AsiaOne-Canon Sponsorship Campaign - Your Shot, Your Calendar
The goal was to create AsiaOne’s first-ever calendar and to make this memorable, the AsiaOne audience was engaged to be part of the creation process. The collaboration with Canon marked a one-month long contest that gathered avid photographers to submit their best holiday captures, as well as created a timely opportunity to showcase Canon’s finest cameras to this group of potential customers on the microsite. Prizes were given away to both winning photographers of the 12 selected shots as well as their voters. But perhaps the best deal of all was the mileage that Canon received as the AsiaOne Calendar created with the 12 winning photo shots carried Canon’s branding in it. With many of our AsiaOne’s readers’ making it their desktop wallpaper all year round, it served as a good branding tool for Canon.
