London (PRWeb) February 2, 2007 -- Digital Media Communications (DMC) s running an online buzz marketing campaign featuring a new version of 2005's challenging 'PicQuiz', which was designed by big:group to help MasterCard promote its sponsorship of The BRIT Awards taking place on 14 February.
The online buzz marketing campaign features PicQuiz (http://www.picquiz.com/brits2007), an interactive online quiz that was first designed and built by MasterCard's sponsorship and interactive agency, big:group, in 2005. Jolyon Hogarth-Scott, Managing Director of big:interactive, a division of big:group, explained: "MasterCard first used PicQuiz and DMC's buzz marketing expertise in 2005 to promote their association with The 25th BRIT Awards. This year, they've asked us to create a new version of the fun, challenging quiz, and DMC to kickstart buzz about it, with the aim to engage entertainment-hungry music lovers in online participation with the brand."
The new 2007 version of the quiz shows 20 illustrations that each relate to a famous musical duo or band. If quiz players guess all 20 correctly, they go into a prize draw in which they could win one of these prizes courtesy of MasterCard:
- Two BRIT Awards table tickets, including travel and accommodation
- One of three pairs of BRIT Awards balcony tickets
- From 7-28 February, one of 10 BRIT Awards 2007 CDs
From 1 March until the end of the year, PicQuiz will remain live for leisure players to enjoy.
DMC's managing director Justin Kirby said: "MasterCard is using online buzz marketing to help generate awareness of its BRIT Awards sponsorship, adding the benefits of consumer-driven, peer-to-peer endorsement to its wider marketing initiative."
