Tongal

The goal of this project is to create a fun, edgy and humorous 30-90 second video to generate awareness and drive trial of Viggle. The ideal video will have a “viral” sensibility like Dollar Shave Club that explains what Viggle is and why we think it should become a habit in a hilarious “I-have-to-pass-it-along” kind of way. It may help to think of Viggle as an easygoing, smart, confident and quirky friend who is full of energy and always up for a good time. Also “Smart funny” is critical, Irreverent is just fine, but Sexual humor is passé.

--Key Marketing Messages:

 • Watch TV. Get Rewards.

 • Viggle rewards me for what I love to do and am doing already: watching my favorite TV shows.

 • Viggle makes TV better and more fun.

--Target Audience: 18-34. Skews slightly more female. Smart phone owners. Avid TV fans who are passionate about their favorite shows.

--Exposure: Placement on Viggle.com to give site visitors an overview of what the service is. Use in social media to drive buzz. 

This project will be worth a total of $15,000 and consist of three phases. Also, this tournament style process will progress differently from previous projects, so be sure to read the following information carefully. 

PHASE 1: IDEA – Tell us your Idea for a 30-90 second video in 140 characters or less. Remember, an Idea is not a detailed script; it is a tweet-sized spark of inspiration, or a distillation of what will happen in the Video. As always, Ideas should be clever and engaging. Winning Idea creators will each receive $250 and a 5% residual payment for every winning video their Idea is used to generate. 

PHASE 2: PITCH – Using text (500 characters or less), images (storyboards), video, and external links (to other supporting assets, i.e., your reel, etc.), give us your Pitch for how YOU would go about producing a Video based on one of the winning Ideas. The three most compelling Pitches will be selected and will receive a $500 production advance to help create their video. Those winners (upon submitting their Winner's Affidavit and IP Assignment) will also be GUARANTEED to place in the subsequent Video Phase. So, if your Pitch is selected, you will earn a minimum of $2,000 with a 1-in-4 shot at the $8,000 first place video prize. Remember your Pitch can include any, and all, of the assets mentioned above, but you MUST include a link to some of your previous video work on Tongal or elsewhere to be considered for this phase. For an example of an effective pitch, check out Sean Clark’s winning Benjamin Moore “Find Your Perfect Color” Pitch. To avoid information cascades, all Pitches will remain private until after the video winners of the subsequent phase are announced. Alternatively, even if you don’t win the Pitch Phase or choose not to create a pitch, you will still have the opportunity to create a “Wild Card” Video completely of your own creative devices in the subsequent Phase.  

PHASE 3: VIDEO – Winning Pitch creators from the previous phase will utilize their $500 advance to create a 30-90 second video based upon their winning materials and all other creators are invited to enter a “Wild Card” submission. Remember, the three Pitch winners are GUARANTEED cash prize as is one of the wild card submitters.
