When you are celebrating the body of work that is legendary German electronic band Kraftwerk at of all places MoMA and simultaneously introducing your new vehicles at the New York International Auto Show you need to something magical to pull it all together for consumers. So Volkswagen of America  the  co-sponsor of the “Kraftwerk – Retrospective 12345678 at MoMA called on the Magicians at NMS to make some noise on the streets of New York City.
NMS secured a high profile location in SoHo for 15 consecutive nights and then had all eyes transfixed on the amazing creative that VW provided for this monumental event.   The creative consisted of a collage of user subbmitted GIF files entered for a chance to win a pair of tickets to the sold out Kraftwerk at MoMA shows.   Then on Kraftwerk’s 8 performance nights Kraftwerk, NMS streamed a real time twitter feed that was embedded in the creative.  There were tweets from the fans at the shows as well as the people on the streets that were interacting with the HD Projections.

NMS Chief Operating Officer Eric Davis states “VW had all the right moves here.  They found a way to emotionally connect consumers to the VW brand through an huge concert event and a street level deployment that was nothing short of amazing.  The greatest feat of all was powering this through the social media outlets.  The consumers endorsed the brand on Twitter and influenced other consumers.  You cannot ask for anything better than that. “  Davis goes on to say that “NMS has been married to social media for some time now and we continue to be committed to bringing advertisers technology that  makes those social media connections simple to do with their street level activations.”

NMS continues to provide proof positive that advertisers do not have to spend tons of money on Video Mapping Projection Campaigns. Last month NMS did it for Rockstar Bagels in Austin, Texas during SXSW with great success. This month we did it in New York City around the Tribeca Film Festival  and executed a “never been done before” Guerrilla Video Mapping installation that featured the content of 8 different artists from as far away as France, Spain, Israel and Japan. Each artist had a few minutes to show off their best animated work.  Some artists had 3D content while others had content that we mapped to the building.  In all it was 22 minutes of amazing animations that had consumers hanging around for an average of 45 minutes just to see what we were going to show next.

Eric Davis Chief Operating Officer at NMS  said “I went to my team and challenged them to make this happen. We wanted to expose these incredibly talented animators to the Tribeca Film Festival crowd and maintain the NMS edgy approach to Video Mapping Projections by running this as a guerrilla execution.   NMS also wants to show advertisers that they can still have that cool “full on” consumer engagement that Video Mapping Projection executions create without having to spend more than six weeks in development and six figures to make it happen. Our goal is to size these down from the large scale spectaculars without sacrificing the spectacular part, give advertisers more nights, maintain the same quality that you would see in a larger event and bring Video Mapping to more markets where consumers that have never seen this live can have that exciting unique brand experience. NMS is opening those closed doors for advertisers that are wanting to do this and leading the way with smaller scaled secured and guerrilla high impact campaigns that still get the street buzz and the social media impressions from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. “

RockStar Bagels is a small privately owned bagel wholesale operation located in Austin. The company is slowly becoming a dominant force in the Capitol City when it comes to bagels.  It was their 3rd Anniversary and RSB wanted to celebrate their growth so they targeted the SXSW Music Festival which was the launching pad for the idea behind the company to begin with.   NMS was hired to do something cool, unique and impactful that made a connection with the SXSW audience.  RockStar Bagels had a small budget to work with but they loved the idea of Video Mapping, they also had very little time before the launch, so team NMS went right to work.  Joe Humel owner of RockStar Bagels was impressed!  He said, “I didn’t know what to expect, I know that NMS does great work, but I didn’t have the polished assets I was sure they were used to.  My logo is a hand drawn logo that a local artist created for me, our image is very low tech, the NMS team came to Austin, found a location, secured all the real estate,  took pictures of my product, spoke to me about my brand and the image, then a week later they shot me over the storyboard, soon after they sent me over sample scenes and updated me on the project twice a day, their customer service was “spot on” and they made me feel like I was part of the process.  After about three weeks, we had a final product that looked great.  The entire process was painless and the end results were spectacular.  I was excited to see RockStar Bagels at the largest event in Austin. “Eric Davis COO of NMS was also excited and ecstatic, “this was a challenging project because there were no slick assets to work with, everything was raw and we had to build this all from scratch and in less than 30 Days!  On top of that the client had a very limited budget.  To be able to do a project like this with a budget that was well below the hundreds and thousands of dollars that are associated with Video Mapping was proof positive that this projection execution is something that can be mainstreamed and is not limited to huge corporations with endless pools of advertising dollars.”

NMS kicked off the New Year with a bicoastal bang!  35 Simultaneous Guerilla HD Projections in New York and Los Angeles provided The Amazing Spiderman complete market dominance in the country’s two largest media markets.
The focus of the campaign was a global event that featured a new movie trailer as well as a great deal of never-before-seen footage at a limited number of locations. The event took place in thirteen cities globally with New York and Los Angeles being the only North American cities participating.  While the movie does not come out until July, the push was on to generate a “buzz”  and give consumers a sneak-peek into the re-boot of The Amazing Spiderman franchise.
“35 Simultaneous Guerilla HD Projections is no easy task” especially when you have less than two weeks to make it happen according to NMS Chief Operating Officer Eric Davis, “But NMS is a company that has these capabilities and resources so the window of time was not an issue, especially since we just came off of an 18 Market HD Projection effort the month before.”   There are not many companies with as many professional projectionists at their disposal nor the experience with Projection Executions of this size.”   NMS continues to “move the needle” for our clients and make the impossible, very possible. 

NMS has established itself as a  reliable source for emerging technologies as well as a partner that provides consistent seamless executions on a very large scale.”  NMS has proven that we are the “go to crew” that will make it happen for advertisers.
