SNSD selected to be advertisement models for Intel Asia
SNSD was recently announced to be the new models for Intel.
According to an industry representative on January 9th, Intel recently selected SNSD as their next advertisement models, and will soon make an official annoucment.
The terms and conditions of the contract have not yet been revealed, but it was said that Intel plans to use SNSD for advertisements and promotions for the whole of Asia.
Intel revealed their new graphics integrated processor at the ‘CES 2011′ in Las Vegas on January 5th, and announced that they are currently preparing for a massive shift in their marketing scheme, with SNSD allegedly being their main models.
Intel are currently the #1 semiconductor makers who supply products for IT manufacturers such asSamsung Electronics and HP.
Since their main target are corporate customers, Intel mainly focused on brand image advertising to match with their business-to-business marketing scheme, thus cases of using celebrities as their models or advertising to target the general public are extremely rare. Many have made predictions that the unusual decision of Intel choosing SNSD for their next cycle of promotions was to globally expose and emphasize the superiority of Korea’s cultural products.
Intell will be making their official announcement this coming January 10th.
SNSD likely to be selected as the Asian CF models for Intel !
Although the agreement as well as terms between the two parties are unknown, it is believed that Intel is including SNSD as the substantial and significant part of their promotion and advertising plan in the Asian region.
On January 5th, Intel unveiled its latest processor called ‘Sandy Bridge’ at the ‘CES 2011′ in Las Vegas and they are preparing for a large-scale marketing exercise. SNSD are expected to be announced as the main model of the promotional activities.
The advertising contract between Intel and SNSD is seen as a rather unusual and rare ‘phenomenon’ considering the fact that Intel is largely targeting corporate customers and practices B2B (Business to Business) marketing where celebrities/artistes’ involvement in its advertising activities is rare. However, it will be interesting to see how this global marketing strategy could promote not only the product from a world-known international IT corporation but also the Korean culture to the world through one of Asia’s most popular girl group, SNSD.
Utilizing SNSD’s popularity, Intel plans to maximize its brand loyalty and consumers’ interest in their products thus, strengthening their position in the Asian market.
However, when asked about the content of the promotional and advertising plan, Intel refused to disclose any details and replied, “we could not confirm”. Intel’s agreement with SNSD is expected to be officially announced on January 10th.
