FUJIFILM Partners With McCann To Launch New Global Brand Campaign For Its Popular INSTAX Line

VALHALLA, N.Y., Sept. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Imaging Division of FUJIFILM North America Corporation is excited to announce that it has partnered with McCann on the launch of a new, interactive global branding campaign for its INSTAX line of products. The campaign focuses not just on brand awareness, but the importance of creating shareable memories that can be printed and given to others. The tagline, "Don't just take, give™", is a direct nod to the thoughtfulness and generosity around sharing INSTAX prints as demonstrations of joy, posterity and shared experiences.

The campaign will be communicated through a series of vignettes that show different people bringing the joy of INSTAX to life in their daily experiences, through street photography, nights to remember with best friends, travel adventures and making new friends with INSTAX as the social connector.  The branding campaign will be executed globally via traditional media, social media, consumer engagement initiatives, at retail, and other out-of-home environments.

The INSTAX line of instant cameras, which lets users create beautiful instant prints on the spot, has sold approximately 45 million units in more than 100 countries – with 10 million units sold in fiscal year 2019. INSTAX is the category leader with a strong franchise among Gen Z and millennial consumers. Popular products in the INSTAX line include the recently launched INSTAX MINI LIPLAY hybrid instant camera (which incorporates both digital and instant print technologies), the playful, popular INSTAX Mini 9 instant camera, the stylish INSTAX SQUARE SQ6 instant camera, and the INSTAX SHARE line of smartphone printers.

McCann was selected by Fujifilm to manage the strategic and creative work around this campaign while Mediahub has been selected for media planning and buying to reach consumers in the US. The global McCann network will have periodic involvement in the handling of new product branding campaigns and initiatives around the world, with McCann New York, McCann London, and McCann Tokyo among the key hubs in their respective regions.

Manny Almeida, President, Imaging Division at FUJIFILM North America Corporation, said, "The McCann team came forward with an idea that got to the heart of our company's culture and our target audience. It turns the notion of photography on its ear. We're enormously excited about how this thinking will drive our brand and our business forward in the U.S. and other markets around the world."

"We are delighted that our network was chosen to handle INSTAX, which is a truly innovative product line that is becoming a powerful brand around the world," said Devika Bulchandani, President of McCann New York. "It's a very cool brand with real cache among its Gen Z users, which will be reflected in the unconventional cross-channel creative work we'll be launching later this year."
