Winner: New York Media for nymag.com’s “Where’s Rogan” Video Microsite

One of the most creative Web video series of the year turned Fashion Week coverage into a full-bore mockumentary, Webisodic adventure and novel product placement play. In a clever collaboration among NYMag.com, Hat Trick Media, Microsoft’s Silverlight technology and advertisers, a fictional storyline finds fashion designer Rogan Gregory kidnapped. Over eight episodes dropped over several weeks we encounter real figures from the fashion world, quick takes of the fashion itself and product placement opps for Continental Airlines, Olay and TRESemme. New technology from Microsoft allowed the sponsors to offer time-coded product exposures and contextual advertising both in and around a video production that was entertaining and informative. The sponsors became part of the comedy and the light spirit of the content. Director John Gutierrez gave the production the faux authenticity necessary to make it fun and compelling. This was among the more compelling branded media plays of the year because it was fearless about content and format.
