It is the first time Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment has appointed New Media Maze to work on a campaign and is particularly important because they have be retained to specifically create, launch and run this major Christmas release.
The promotion for the Universal Pictures UK and Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment release of the Video and DVD is out to own from 19th November 2001, and is set to be a hit title when released for home entertainment.

The Grinch campaign will be pushed for until Christmas Eve with major online promotions including an online content deal with two major websites running from 19th November 2001, that are to host specially branded games for their sites.
The advertising campaign will be running across childrens and parenting sites complemented with email marketing, with an HTML email driving recipients back to The Grinch website at http://www.thegrinchmovie.co.uk where they can learn more about the Video and DVD release.
Hayley Barker, Online Promotions Manager explains, "The release is extremely important for Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment and Universal Pictures UK, because its probably their most crucial Christmas release. The creatives and their placement is key because the audiences are either children or parents, so that has to be figured into the equation."
Dave Smith, New Media Mazes Business Development Director says, "We are eagerly awaiting the launch of The Grinch UK website and the promotional activity that accompanies it, because its such a great seasonal release for Video and DVD - the timing is perfect.
The creative, games and website have been branded extremely well and capture what the film is all about, appealing to audiences, whether they are adults or children."
