Team Coco Tablet App Resulted in 40,000 Downloads in the First Few Months, with Usage Continuing to Grow Team Coco MMA CASE STUDY Tablet App Campaign Summary Many Millennials think of AT&T as a big, impersonal company that may drop their calls. The brand needed to convince this audience that AT&T has the most powerful network in the nation to enable richer experiences in consumers’ lives. To do this, the brand created a yearlong, multi-platform partnership with Conan, Conan O’Brien’s late-night TV show, to demonstrate AT&T’s ability to connect consumers to the things they love. Strategy and Execution AT&T knew the target audience, tech-savvy adults between the ages of 18 and 49, needed to see the network in action in order to understand its power. Since premiering in November 2010, Conan has been a hit with digitally connected viewers. The show’s success extends well beyond its TBS telecasts to include DVR, online and mobile viewing, and extensive online interaction. A true powerhouse when it comes to online activity and engagement, O’Brien has amassed 5,049,000 followers on Twitter — more than any other late-night host. The “Team Coco” tablet app was developed to harness the power of Turner Entertainment’s innovative social TV apps and provide consumers with an engaging content experience. The social TV app tapped into the audience’s desire for a two-way conversation with the show. AT&T had exclusive ownership of the show’s website, TeamCoco.com, while high-impact digital media executions on TBS.com generated engagement for AT&T and promoted the sponsorship. Through an on-air integration for AT&T, O’Brien and his cohost, Andy Richter, demonstrated how the app worked by walking the viewers through the app’s features, creating a stronger connection between the app, the Conan brand, and the AT&T network. The app, available for Android and Apple tablets, let viewers experience Conan on two screens in a whole new way. Through audio content recognition technology and audio fingerprinting, the app synced with users’ live and DVR TVs, allowing for real-time interactivity. The app featured exclusive content that synced with the show (a first for a late-night talk show that broadcasted four nights a week). When users activated the sync feature, they saw behind-the-scenes photos, outtakes, rehearsal footage, and other special content generated specifically for the app. The Team Coco app also featured trivia questions and allowed users to interact with friends on Facebook and Twitter. The Conan Blimp, a highlight of the campaign, traveled the East Coast supplying AT&T-sponsored aerial coverage of Major League Baseball playoff games. Fans could locate the blimp via Foursquare, share sightings, and post pictures on social media. While on air, O’Brien selected a fan to fly in the blimp and report back to him with photos and tweets using an AT&T 4G device. TV and digital media campaigns provided promotional support for both the blimp and the app. Results AT&T’s sponsorship of the Team Coco tablet app resulted in 40,000 downloads in the first few months, with usage continuing to grow. With over 97 percent of Conan viewers engaged in social media, the Team Coco tablet app gave fans more interaction with the show and helped TBS to interact with the target audience like never before. Video clips from Conan, viral players, and YouTube attracted more than 83 million views in 2011. And the Team Coco Facebook page added more than 1.8 million fans, nearly doubling the page’s January 2011 figures. Source “Team Coco Tablet App/AT&T.” 2012 MMA Smarties Submission Tablet Campaign.

At the age of 12, she appeared in her first campaign for Tommy Hilfiger and at the age of 15 she ignited a media firestorm when she walked the runway for Christian Dior. From a young age, Riley wanted to explore her talents within the film industry, and by the age of 19 she dedicated herself to developing her acting craft for the camera. In 2010, she made her big-screen debut as Marie Currie in The Runaways starring opposite Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. People took notice; shortly thereafter, she starred alongside Orlando Bloom in The Good Doctor, directed by Lance Daly. Riley’s memorable work in the film, which premiered at the Tribeca film festival in 2010, earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Milan International Film Festival in 2012.

  • Eight Comedians; One Chronic Mental Illness
    Eight comedians; one chronic mental illness When it comes to depression, everyone’s story is different. But a lot of time, the stories can be pretty similar. In this podcast, there are common themes that rise up in conversations with comedians. There was a pretty specific age range during which most people first felt depression. Some were as young as five, some as old as 21. But for a lot of them, it hit right down the middle: during the cracking voice years, the unexpected hair years. Jake Weisman, standup comic Jake is based in LA and one of the writers and stars of Hampton Deville, an up and coming sitcom on Comedy Central. “The first time I had depression was when puberty hit in seventh or eighth grade. I remember feeling very dark thoughts all the time. Like not wanting to be alive. I remember being kind of an asshole. I hated myself so much. I remember every day, having this layer of sludge over my brain. I felt stupid and unworthy of everything I had and I kind of hated myself. I would be really sarcastic to people.” Awareness of how much you could hate yourself comes up a lot. Also, how much you could detach from the world. Sometimes how much you didn’t want to be there anymore. Another theme that kept coming up was confusion about what was going on. You don’t have life experience to identify it. You’ve never felt anything like this before. Mike Drucker, standup and a writer Mike has worked on Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live, he’s co-writer of an upcoming Bill Nye’s show for Netflix.

  • Andy Richter – Actor, Writer, Comedian and Sidekick of Conan O’Brien
    Andy Richter – actor, writer, comedian and sidekick of Conan O’Brien Andy Richter is an actor, writer and comedian. He’s best known for working with Conan O’Brien on three different talk shows over the years. He often plays dumb guys on t-v shows, but he’s super smart. He was born in Indiana but grew up mostly in Illinois. His first inkling of depression came at a very young age and it involved a record player. “My parents divorced when I was four. I remember being a child and listening to Simon and Garfunkel’s Bridge over Troubled Water. I didn’t fully understand it, but I would play it over and over. My Dad stayed in Bloomington and my Mom took us to her parents in Illinois. I would play a slide show in my head of Bloomington and of our house and make myself so sad. So I learned this kind of luxuriating in sadness and depression. I must have been deriving some kind of comfort.” Most kids that age don’t act like that. But Andy had an affinity for depression. Along with finding a connection to misery, he found a connection to comedy. It was the Carol Burnett show. “Honestly, it was imitating the Carol Burnett show and making my Grandmother and my brother and my family laugh. And also being an incorrigible smart-ass. As my mother said ‘I get paid for doing what I used to get sent out into the hall for in grade school.’” Andy said as a kid, his depression went from mental state to physical symptom.

  • October 2009 Comedy Channel Highlights
    www.comedychannel.com.au OCTOBER 2009 HIGHLIGHTS 1. The Gong Show With Dave Attell 2. The Jay Leno Show 3. Sunday Headliners The Gong Show With Dave Attell AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE Thursdays at 9.30pm from October 8 The maddest comedy variety series is returning but it’s been remixed for the noughties! THE GONG SHOW with Dave Attell is the new version of the ground-breaking 1970’s Chuck Barris original where a panel of celebrity judges witness a revolving door of outrageous variety acts before delivering their verdict, one that often sees the losers rapidly sent back to obscurity with a giant gong hammer. THE GONG SHOW is brimming with the most preposterous, nonsensical and off-the-wall performances courtesy of everyday people with a dream of performing. Acts include a man who plays the bagpipes while on a unicycle, the human helicopter, a plus-size male stripper and a group that uses ladders and recyclables as musical instruments. If the act survives without being gonged, he/she/they/it are given a score and the contestant who achieves the highest combined score wins the grand prize. The rotating roster of guest judges that rag on the ‘talent’ includes Dave Navarro, Andy Dick, J.B. Smoove, Steve Schirripa, Brian Posehn, Adam Carolla, Dana Goodman, Julia Wolov, Greg Giraldo and Triumph, The Insult Comic Dog. If you thought RED FACES was the pinnacle of talent show weirdness, you haven’t seen anything yet - there’s a reason some talent remains undiscovered! The Jay Leno Show EXCLUSIVE AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE Weeknights at 7.30pm One 2009's most hotly anticipated television shows will screen exclusively on THE COMEDY CHANNEL! Marking a new era in television, Jay Leno, recently named America's Favourite TV Personality by the 2009 Harris Poll and previous host of THE TONIGHT SHOW, moves from late night to primetime on September 15 when THE JAY LENO SHOW comes to THE COMEDY CHANNEL.

From the Jim Henson Company comes a late-night talk show hosted by alien commander Ned and his lieutenant Cornelius, who call off the invasion of Earth after they fall in love with human culture. Broadcasting from the bridge of their spaceship, hidden deep underground, Ned and Cornelius interview Earth’s greatest resource, celebrities.
