PRESS RELEASE: Fujifilm's New Digital Camera Advertising Campaign Highly Defines Audiences
Marketing Plan Includes National Print Ads for Specific Audiences, plus Online and Spot Radio Ads, Mobile Billboards and Sponsorship Events
VALHALLA, N.Y., June 15, 2010 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation has launched a new marketing campaign for its digital cameras that emphasizes the HD feature of all its cameras, with special emphasis on the FinePix Z70 and the durability of the FinePix XP10 digital cameras. The campaign began in the spring and will continue through July, and includes full page print ads that are specifically targeted to appeal to select audiences. For example, ads appearing in magazines such as People, Glamour and Elle are headlined “Hopelessly Devoted,” while ads for magazines such as Sports Illustrated and Maxim lead with “Height Defying” and “Highly Delicious,” and ads for Rolling Stone and Spin suggest “Hip Defined” – with all ads playing on the HD feature as graphic themes.
Additional advertising includes a number of spots running on key radio stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami. The radio ads, targeting both the gift giver and the gift receiver, promote the FinePix Z70 digital camera for “mom” for Mother’s Day, and the FinePix XP10 for “dad” for Father’s Day.
“The new marketing campaign reinforces the benefits and features of our cameras, such as HD capture and durability, along with striking visual design,” said Go Miyazaki, division president, Imaging and Electronic Imaging Divisions, FUJIFILM North America Corporation. “We wanted to illustrate how our cameras take great pictures in any circumstance with style and playfulness, and our new ads and activities reflect that spirit.”

In addition to the advertising, Fujifilm also teamed up with Radio Disney to participate in several summer fun street festivals and events throughout the country. At each of the events, Fujifilm will be at the Radio Disney booth, conducting demonstrations of the FinePix XP10 digital camera, with chances to win the FinePix XP10. Kids under the age of 16 will also have the opportunity to have their picture taken with the FinePix XP10 camera. Events include the Third Avenue Street Fair in New York City; the Palos Verdes Street Fair and Musical Festival in Palos Verdes, California; Jenkinsons Tour by the Shore in Point Pleasant, New Jersey; Taste of Chicago; and Florida Marlins games in Miami.
The campaign is complemented with additional online advertising as well as mobile billboards on the road this summer, touting the durable XP10 digital camera at busy shopping area locations and beaches in New York, New Jersey, Chicago and Miami.
