Challenger Learning Center Sees Big Results and Engages the Community with Its Launch of Superpower Dogs

The Challenger Learning Center of Tallahassee, Florida, launched Superpower Dogs on March 15, 2019. Recognizing the intensity of the dog-human bond, the marketing team chose a strategy of highlighting these powerful relationships. The launch of the film exceeded all expectations and generated more visitors and revenue than forecast. The most successful part of the campaign was the community engagement portions, as evidenced by the overwhelming feedback shared by visitors. Not only were the impacts felt at the box office, but also in the way in which the film helped to change lives.

IMAX Victoria Connects the Community Back to Its Indigenous Roots with Great Bear Rainforest

Great Bear Rainforest captures the beauty of Canada’s remote Pacific coast rainforest and brings attention to a place so wild, few ever have the chance to see it. Protected for the past thousand years by the region’s indigenous people, the Great Bear Rainforest is home to grizzlies, coastal wolves, sea otters, and the infamous all-white spirit bear. IMAX Victoria saw an opportunity to drum up excitement in their local community and beyond, to get audiences excited to come witness their backyard wonder from the comfort of a giant screen theater.

Challenger Learning Center Keeps It Local By Showcasing the Music and Cultural Diversity in Its Own Community

America’s Musical Journey is an inspiring film with a focus on the beauty and importance of diversity in the US, and Challenger Learning Center wanted to do the same on a local level. Tallahassee, Florida, is home to a strong arts community, so the big idea behind CLC’s launch for America’s Musical Journey was to showcase the diverse culture and innovation that are alive in its very own city.

The "Pandas" Marketing Campaign Repositioned Them As Not Just Cute and Cuddly But As Endangered Animals That Need Our Help

IMAX and Warner Bros. (WB) joined forces to develop a strategy including creative development, publicity, digital, exhibition, and more to reposition pandas as not just cute and cuddly animals, but as endangered animals who need our help. Infusing levity and a sense of wonder throughout the marketing campaign, IMAX and WB also reinforced the consumer value proposition: IMAX brings people together through extraordinary experiences. Narrator Kristen Bell was front and center for important appearances and interviews with numerous outlets, but as the GSCA Achievement Award judges noted, even with major stars, it’s not easy to get that kind of coverage without a lot of work.

IMAX Melbourne's Big Idea to Partner with Sichuan Airlines for Pandas 3D

When IMAX Melbourne General Manager Richard Morrison and PR & Brand Manager Kate Piasecka met with acclaimed director Drew Fellman to discuss his latest project, a film about pandas, at the September 2017 GSCA conference in Chicago, they knew the film would be a hit with their audiences. Melbourne’s GSCA award-winning Big Idea was to partner with a Chinese airline and negotiate a partnership package, which would enable Melbourne to reduce costs, provide one Melbourne family with the trip of a lifetime to Chengdu, China, and would also benefit the airline partner.

IMAX Victoria in the Royal BC Museum Launches Its Campaign for America's Musical Journey with a Flash

Winner of the 2018 GSCA Achievement Award for Best Film Launch by a Theater, IMAX Victoria in the Royal BC Museum launched America's Musical Journey with a flash—a flash mob, that is. With outreach to local dance groups, music schools, stores and venues, this theater created buzz by hosting four special opening screenings featuring an appearance by the film’s star, Aloe Blacc, and a special off-site concert featuring Blacc, where the only way to get tickets was by winning them in contests. Local dance groups delighted audiences with a flash mob during these special screenings.

Montreal Goes Wild for IMAX with Laser

In deciding how to re-launch their theatre after an IMAX with Laser conversion, the creative team at Montreal Science Centre IMAX Telus Theatre realized that a new film would be the perfect way to generate awareness. Promoting them together, especially given the limited marketing budget, would improve campaign efficiency and generate strong interest in both the theatre and the new film. After closing for six weeks to complete the upgrade, Montreal Science Centre reopened the IMAX Telus Theatre with the new IMAX with Laser in February of 2017, with the MacGillivray Freeman film America Wild: National Parks Adventure.
