Additionally, the "Be Pop Cultured" vernacular will live on in the positioning of the brand beyond the length of the campaign. "BE POP CULTURED" debuts Monday, August 22ndacross social, digital, mobile, outdoor and TV, reflecting the unique, stylized point-of-view that E! NEWS delivers every day.
A true extension of E! News, "BE POP CULTURED" works to elevate pop culture (and those who love it) in a fun and clever way. Driven by the social and digital influence of E! News, creative will live on all social platforms from Facebook to Tumblr and engage fans everywhere they are consuming information by sending audiences to E! NEWS for all the things they might be missing in the entertainment realm, with lines inspired by the theme such as "If you think Belieber is a typo, you need to BE POP CULTURED." Assets will also be showcased on billboards in highly trafficked areas including Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles and on the world's largest billboard in New York's Times Square, as well as through ads with digital media companies including BuzzFeed and Refinery29. Additionally, lines will appear in contextually relevant spaces such as "This is where Kim broke the internet. BE POP CULTURED," placed fittingly on the PAPER Magazine website where Kim Kardashian left her mark with the notorious post-baby cover reveal. The campaign will also exist on the small screen within daily news flashes on the network, and receive cross-company NBCUniversal support through video spots and talent social efforts. Plus, fans will be able to access their very own E! emojis (or "E!ojis") which will allow users to share familiar pop culture moments and objects with their friends via graphics like a SELFIE stick, duck lips and a tongue licking a donut.Videos
