2005 EMMA Winners
For the seventh year, PROMO’s editors have made their picks for the best marketing campaigns of the past year that have leveraged an entertainment tie-in. From blockbuster films (Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man returns to these awards just two years after winning the Best Overall EMMA) to groundshaking events (literally, as NASCAR took to the streets of Manhattan), we’ve weighed the good (The History Channel’s landmark preservation efforts), the passionately youthful (Tecate’s fine-tuned pitch to Latinos and Volvo’s concert tour/vehicle launch), and culturally reverberant (Burger King and Crest via their star turns on The Apprentice). Cue the applause sign, please!
