New Advertising Campaign from Carbonite Illustrates "There's No Warning When You Lose Your Files"
Created by Arnold Worldwide, the Integrated Effort (Television, Radio, Print and Digital) Spotlights People's Increasing Need for Better Data Protection
BOSTON, Feb. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Carbonite, Inc. (NASDAQ: CARB), a leading provider of online backup solutions for consumers and small and medium sized businesses, today unveiled an advertising campaign created by its new advertising agency, Arnold Worldwide, with an important message for consumers: there's no warning when you lose your files, which is why you need Carbonite. Featuring new television, print, radio and digital creative, the integrated campaign engagingly illustrates that computers need backing up, and that Carbonite is the solution for superior data protection.
The campaign's central theme is that unexpected things – such as spills, theft, or a virus – come without warning and could cause the irrevocable loss of digital data, like photos, files, music and videos saved on computers. Carbonite delivers superior data protection to keep users' files safe, with automatic online backup at an affordable price.
Across the campaign components, various depictions of warnings - which would not ordinarily appear - predict impending loss. In each case, the warning serves to illustrate how there is no actual warning in real life when data loss occurs, which is why you need Carbonite. The radio and TV ads will feature this message in a voiceover to further impart the significance. In the new TV commercial, which can be viewed here: http://cbnt.it/yQFwhf, a bride and groom receive warnings that they are "about to lose everything." Rounding out the campaign are print ads, which include a spilled cup of coffee that spells out the warning, "Your Laptop Will Take a Spill," and an airport departure screen that displays the message, "You Arrive. Your Laptop Doesn't."
"Every day, people lose cherished family photos, important documents and many other files due to an unexpected event. Carbonite was founded on the belief that devices that store your data should be backed up, and that online backup is the best way to do it," said Tom Murray, senior vice president of marketing, Carbonite. "We want our customers to know that there is an easy, automatic and affordable way to backup files so that they can be easily recovered in the event of a loss."
"We live in an always-connected world in which people's very lives and livelihoods are tied to their computers and content," said Pam Hamlin, President, Arnold Boston. "As we continue to save more information digitally, we're exposing ourselves to greater vulnerability and loss. People currently have a false sense of security about the way their data is protected – if it is protected at all – and don't realize how vulnerable they are until they lose everything. We wanted to demonstrate how easy it is to take action and protect your files with Carbonite, now and into the future."
