New Media Maze pitched against three other agencies, which were marketing and PR, new media and a creative agency to win the five-figure account.

Julianne Reynolds, Account Director adds, This is a fantastic result for New Media Maze because it introduces us to another sector within home entertainment industry. In a way it will be surreal working on projects that were your favourite programmes when you were growing up. There was no way I could of ever have imagined I would be delivering campaigns for some of my favourite television stars and the programmes they were in. Its not just a fad where individuals just reminisce either. Consumers are returning to buy titles that they grew up with. However, it's surprising that many younger consumers do know about titles that were made before many of them were born.
Pete Ballard, Senior Project Manager at Universal Playback comments, We appointed New Media Maze because they have an in-depth understanding of the Video and DVD market, with the experience, expertise and a knowledge base that solidifies this. It was their sheer enthusiasm for the titles and the concepts that were pitched that impressed us. They have delivered consistent results whilst working on other projects with the Universal Group - demonstrating online mediums can be successful tools in reaching targeted audiences in a cost effective and imaginative way. We are looking forward to working with New Media Maze on many great campaigns throughout 2002."
