Epson brought 5mm in to produce and deliver a subscription based, three
month episodic journey with the top photographers in the world.
Vision
Advanced amateur photographers are a rich target for high-end printer
manufacturers as photography moves into the digital realm. Individuals in
this segment spend thousands of dollars annually on related equipment,
supplies and software. Epson America, a leading manufacturer of high-quality
digital output and projection devices, sought to establish deep and lasting
relevance in this highly targeted market.
Solution
Offer the audience highly valued content through a combination of education
and celebrity exposure. For $29.95, the audience gets a behind-the-scenes
look at a professional photographer's life, learning about the tips and
tools - including Epson printers - that professionals use to create the
stunning images amateurs aspire to. A 12-week "Print Academy" of daily interactive videos follows five respected
professional photographers on location throughout America, hosted by
photography enthusiast Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills & Nash.
