  C A Se S t U dy AMERICAN EXPRESS American Express understands the power that film has to inspire, entertain and create lasting memories and therefore has a longstanding heritage in film partnerships. The Amex brand is involved in some of the best film experiences around the world, including being the founding sponsor of the Tribeca Film Festival and headline sponsors of the annual BFI London Film Festival In 2011-12, Empire partnered American Express to run a part-work series of three travel features across as many months. It was essentially a whistle-stop journey around the world, through the prism of great movies. The first of the series kicked off in America, went through Asia and Africa and ended up in Europe. To amplify the message further we replicated this activity on the Empire iPad keeping American Express category exclusive to ensure maximum stand out This activity fully hit the American Express client brief, allowing them to showcase all of their key pillars – Access, Travel and Service through an exciting and engaging brand partnership. They were delighted with the high quality advertorials delivered and the innovative use of video with the iPad App “What made the American Express Empie partnership such a great fit was mainly the confidence that all of us got from knowing that we were working with the leading authority on film in the UK. We knew that we had every chance of coming up with a fantastic idea that looked really good and was visually impactful, and the client was really happy, which obviously made us very happy too” phil coWin account director, mindshare “It’s encouraging to see a big advertiser like Amex recognising the value of sponsored editorial over straight advertorial content. The Around the World feature provided great editorial for our readers, while meeting Amex’s advertising objectives. A win-win execution from start to finish” JamES dyEr Empire digital Editor-in-chief we think popular.
