    BROTHER LAUNCHES GHOSTBUSTERS INK-CARTRIDGE PROMOTION IN 21 COUNTRIES
    LONDON
    – Brother Europe has tied up with Sony Pictures to launch
    Ghostbusters-themed promotion for the manufacturer’s ink cartridge
    range.Consumers who purchase promotional ink cartridge packs will be
    directed online where they can play a Ghostbusters game offering 
    opportunity to win a trip to New York. The aim is to increase sales and
    drive traffic to Brother’s website.

    The partnership was created by Atom Marketing.
    The
    game, created by McCann-Erickson Manchester, requires the player to
    collect Brother ink droplets while being chased by Slimer, the ghost in
    the film’s hotel scene. Prizes, provided by Sony Pictures, will be
    awarded to the fastest players at the end of the promotion and on a
    weekly basis.The activity coincides with the re-release of Ghostbusters
    on high-definition DVD and a new video game developed by Atari and Sony
    Computer Entertainment.The promotion runs on one million ink cartridge
    packs across Europe for a 26-week period.Senior marketing manager of
    Brother Europe, Simon Stones said: “Ghostbusters is a widely recognised
    brand and our themed online competition is a fun way to engage with
    customers – driving traffic to our web pages, as well as supporting
    sales of consumable products across the region.
