Alberta Unveils Press Campaign Bought on BootB

We have recently got the green light to publicly share with you the official press campaign implemented by Alberta. Here it is, click on the image to enlarge it!

Opening a project on BootB.com gave the Italian sofa producer the possibility to review 247 creative proposals submitted from 15 countries. The winning creativity, rewarded with USD 2 400, was proposed by pongo who also gave the final touch to the already on air campaign.

It might have not been an easy choice for Alberta to pick the best creative Solution among so many great proposals, but in the end the choice was … “The Obvious” – that is exactly the title of the creativity worked by pongo.

The campaign however, plays on the saying “The best choice is never the most obvious choice” ( or “The obvious choice is often the worst”).

For those of you not speaking Italian, here is a summary of the campaign: “The best sofas are never the less expensive ones, and the most beautiful sofas are not always the most comfortable ones, quality may come with an affordable price but it will never come almost for free. Offering a wide range of high end custom made sofas with a great report price/quality, obvious choices are not Alberta’s cup of tea”.

Stay tuned, later this week we will share another winning and already implemented print campaign , bought by Masottina winery :)

Thks a lot…everyone :-)

@metroquadrocubo:
Sicuramente il tattoo non è di primo pelo, ma lo è il concept!
Un mix tra una campagna comparativa e istituzionale, adatta per un brand che vuole affrontare un mercato dove i principali competitors valgono (in termini di prodotto) veramente poco, e per vendere hanno ancora bisogno di un testimonial.

@ciuliamo..è:
un nome, un’affermazione, una minaccia o una richiesta disperata? ;-)

just curious about the BootB selection process if common ideas like these are put forward to the clients! I found a similar idea on the yahoo opening page for Giffgaff a new sim that works as a apps on iphone, just copy and paste this link in a new browser window :- file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Milind/Desktop/FreeHand%20HTML%20Output/Untitled001.html

Giffgaff… :-)

Simpatica…bisogna vedere chi ha copiato cosa???

Giffgaff è uscita per Natale 2010
La campagna Alberta è stata fatta a Settembre 2010

Maybe you are correct, but my point was that the idea is very common, not fresh, done before, nothing to do with selling a sofa. If I was the customer then you haven’t convinced me to by a Alberto sofa. Just because a girl has written/tattooed Alberto on her arm will not give me the motivation to by that sofa. Nowadays the strategy to sell the product is more important and hence the creative idea has to be very unique proposition. You tell me will you by this product if you see this ad? Think!!!!

Che dito …
Il visual è solo di supporto a una Head e da un copy (se li hai letti)
che escono dai canoni classici, e che esprimono concetti ben diversi dai comuni annunci di divani.
Stiamo parlando di un brand di fascia alta, con budget limitato, che aveva bisogno di una comunicazione istituzionale (non di prodotto) distintiva.
Per la cronaca;
avevo presentato 3 proposte, 2 molto creative e una perfettamente in linea con il brief.
Indovina dove mi hanno messo il pollice per le 2 soluzioni creative??? :-)

Hey Dude, I do not understand Italian but if you strongly believe in your idea then good for you. Good luck!

Hi Outofthebox,
I submitted 3 proposals, 2 very creative, and 1 in brief…
So sorry, the customer has chosen the third.
Good luck to you too!

Avrei detto anch’io che era originale, prima di vedere quella su GiffGaff. Questa è elaborata meglio però.
La soluzione migliore non è la più ovvia, infatti è la più copiata. Sembra diventata una tendenza.
Ma idee vostre ne elaborate qualche volta?
ciao ciao

@Mami, come ho già spiegato al tuo caro collega UK, semmai è GiffGaff ad aver copiato (anche se io non sarei così assolutista).
E a meno che non sia un veggente, trovo abbastanza difficile copiare un’idea uscita con 4 mesi di ritardo.
La campagna Alberta è stata consegnata all’editore a fine Settembre 2010,
I banner GiffGaff sono un esperimento natalizio (Natale 2010)…
Poi, la campagna può anche non piacere…ma quello è un altro discorso!
Please, informatevi meglio, prima di scrivere ca…te!
