Batteries.com Launches New Creative Search Campaign
Micro-Site by iCrossing(TM) Features Unique Characters to Increase Search Engine Visibility
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 14 -- iCrossing, a digital marketing agency and a strategic business unit of iCrossing, Inc., today announced that online battery superstore Batteries.com has partnered with iCrossing to create an innovative marketing campaign organized around an affinity site. The extended campaign, which has been designed to create brand awareness for Batteries.com, also emphasizes viral search marketing.
"Expanding our relationship with iCrossing to include creative was an easy decision," said Dale Petruzzi, President of Batteries.com. "Stephen Tortorici and his team were instructed to make our business look edgy, fun and interesting. They`ve done that and more with the affinity campaign that they created. From concept to execution, consumers everywhere will be talking about Dr. Schwieger for a long time to come."
The micro-site (http://thedoctor.batteries.com/) features the fictional Dr. Thurston Schwieger -- "a battery sociologist" -- who offers educational and humorous commentary on the emotional impact of battery life. iCrossing created the fictional character to engage Batteries.com`s customers in a new way and leverage the search audience by targeting untapped markets. The micro-site links visitors to Batteries.com`s online storefront for making purchases.
"We`re very excited about showcasing our world-class creative talent and bringing greater awareness to Batteries.com and its customers, "said Jeffrey Herzog, CEO of iCrossing. "The online retail marketplace is more competitive than ever and targeted creative content is a critical component to the success of any business. This is yet another testament to the original and edgy concepts that we are developing at iCrossing, which are resonating with clients and consumers alike."
