Amway needed to create an "infomercial" for their updated Home Cleaning products line, L.O.C.  The challenge was to address a global market with a regional approach.  N9's solution was to create an "infomercial" with a host shot on green screen, to be put on a virtual set.  The different market regions could easily replace the host with their own.  We also created the infomercial as separate "pods" for each category. It can be viewed in its entirety or separate videos.

The marketers at Artistry wanted us to develop a video for the launch of their new skincare lines first offering. So, we did… This is the opening 1 minute to that 3 minute long piece.

We also pulled components of the shoot together and helped develop a live multimedia event as well as an “augmented reality” piece. The really cool aspect of this project is that the client has devised a very unique, but soon to be ubiquitous, way of delivering this spot to your mobile device.We can’t say how…yet.
