Advertising Agency Group, The Marlin Network, Marks 30-Year Anniversary with Online Marketing Campaign
Springfield, Mo (PRWEB) July 14, 2015 -- The Marlin Network, an advertising agency group in the Southwest Missouri area, recently celebrated its 30-year anniversary with an online marketing campaign, created in collaboration with one of its agencies, deep, and Bruton Stroube.
The online marketing campaign by deep featured a series of videos leading up to The Marlin Network annual breakfast at the National Restaurant Association show. Drawing inspiration from the pearl, deep developed the theme for the event: Pearls of Wisdom.
“Each year, one of our agencies is responsible for coming up with the theme for the Marlin Network breakfast,” says Dan Stewart, partner and creative director at deep. “As the traditional gift for a 30-year anniversary, we couldn’t help but draw the parallel between the making of a pearl and the creation of an idea, which is what we’re known for. Both begin as a tiny grain and eventually work their way into the realization of something unique and valuable.”
With the help of Bruton Stroube, an independent photography and motion studio in Missouri, deep did just that. The team drew on the significance of the pearl and created a series of seven videos found on wiseoyster.com, reflecting on 30 years of foodservice marketing experience and featuring a wisecracking oyster. These videos were used to extend invitations to the Marlin Network breakfast in a series of eblasts, offering salty “pearls of wisdom” on everything from trends to agency politics.
“The Marlin Network breakfast attendees got a kick out of the oyster character, especially because he turned out to be a bit of a wise guy,” says Valeri Lea, partner at deep. To top it all off, one of our clients, Garage Graphics, brought our salty character to life as unexpected decor for the event.”
