New Television Ad Campaign for Fujifilm's 24mm Advanced Photo System; Focusing on Convenience and Compact Size.


ELMSFORD, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 1997--Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc. is debuting a new television advertising campaign for its 24mm Advanced Photo System. Created by Angotti, Thomas, Hedge, Inc. of New York New York, state, United States
New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of
, the series of three new commercials further establishes Fujifilm's concept that the new 24mm Advanced Photo System fits conveniently into everyday living, making it easier than ever to capture life's special moments through photography. All three spots end with Fujifilm's new 24mm Advanced Photo System tagline, "You Can See the Future from Here."

The first commercial to air is a :15-second spot entitled, "Baby." It features a toddler with a Fujicolor Smart QuickSnap Super Slim, the smallest one-time use 24mm Advanced Photo System camera that's so compact, it fits neatly into her pocket. The voice-over narrates, "She's the reason you need a camera...Let her carry it."

A 30-second spot called, "First Steps" depicts a parent attempting to photograph his child's first baby steps. Not wanting to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he searches through his pockets looking for Looking for

 his Fujicolor Smart QuickSnap Super Slim. Because of the camera's extremely small size, the father confuses it with his key case, a pack of tissues and a candy bar, and pulls each out successively. Finally, he pulls out his Fujifilm QuickSnap camera -- just as his son sits down. "The 24mm Advanced Photo System Smart QuickSnap takes great pictures, and it's so small you'll always have a camera handy," the voice-over says. "The question is, where?"

The third commercial is a :15-second spot called, "Wallet." Similar to "First Steps," the father mistakenly pulls out his wallet instead of the camera, and as pictures fall out accordion-style, the narrator NARRATOR.

The commercials refer to the Advanced Photo System as "24mm," which describes the unique size of Advanced Photo System film. Using the "24mm" phrase will help consumers differentiate between the Advanced Photo System and traditional 35mm products.

"We wanted to reintroduce consumers to the new 24mm Advanced Photo System in an easy-to-understand, easy-to-digest way," said Joan Rutherford, Director of Advertising, Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc. "QuickSnaps have traditionally proven to be an ideal vehicle to generate consumer trial, and they are an inexpensive way for consumers to `get their feet wet' with the new 24mm Advanced Photo System. The Fujicolor Smart QuickSnap Super Slim is the smallest one-time use camera, so its unique size makes it a convenient and economical way to try the 24mm Advanced Photo System."

The television spots are the fourth installment in Fujifilm's breakthrough campaign that began with the company's "Kids Are Different" commercial in 1993. "Kids Are Different" introduced consumers to the concept that "your pictures should be nostalgic, but your film shouldn't." The spot received the 1996 Effie award from the American Marketing Association The American Marketing Association, one of the largest professional associations for marketers, has 38,000 members worldwide in every area of marketing. For over six decades the AMA has been the leading source for information, knowledge sharing and development in the marketing profession. , which "recognizes achievement in meeting and exceeding objectives, in honoring teamwork between agency and client, and in creating brands that become part of the American landscape."
