MONTREAL, Feb. 19, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - To update its award-winning
PAPERbecause campaign (www.paperbecause.com), Domtar Corporation (NYSE: UFS) (TSX: UFS) today announced a new
series of videos that take a humorous approach to highlight the
irreplaceable value of paper.
The 30-second spots mark the third wave of videos in the campaign that
showcases the effectiveness and sustainability of paper. While the
initial videos featured satirical office settings and exaggerated
pressures to go paperless, the four new videos bring that comedy to
everyday situations, ranging from a bridal shower to a business lunch.
For example:
-
A husband disappoints his wife on their anniversary by choosing to send
an e-card instead of a paper card with a handwritten note.
-
A woman at a bridal shower receives a hideous vase, but she's relieved
once she locates the receipt, showing how paper can make any gift the
perfect gift.
-
A man using his home computer can't get his new router to work because
there are no paper instructions, and he cannot log on to download the
PDF.
-
A waiter at a restaurant butchers his customers' orders by not writing
them down.
The videos will debut in March on the websites of The New York Times,
National Geographic and other news outlets. They will also be featured
on PAPERbecause.com, Domtar.com, YouTube (www.youtube.com/paperbecause) and Facebook, www.facebook.com/domtarpaper.
"The PAPERbecause campaign has always promoted the responsible use of
paper and the need to balance print vs. pixels, and we wanted to
illustrate several instances of when paper is the most effective way to
communicate on a logical and emotional level," said Paige Goff,
Domtar's Vice-President of Sustainable Business and Brand Management.
"Our previous office videos reminded people how Domtar has long been a
leader in sustainable paper production, but with the new videos, we
wanted to focus on everyday life."
Since PAPERbecause debuted in 2010, it has won many awards from the
public, the print industry and marketers.
"We've been very pleased with the recognition PAPERbecause has received,
and we think it speaks to a bigger point," Goff said. "Even after 2,000
years, there are times when no substitute for paper will suffice."
