BRANDING: New direction for VideoEzy in 21st anniversary push

SYDNEY: Australia's largest movie rental chain, Video Ezy, is embarking on a new direction as it marks 21 years of operation. In a major branding shift, Video Ezy has opted to return to its roots and draw on its team members and store owners to anchor its marketing voice.

BRANDING: New direction for VideoEzy in 21st anniversary push

Its latest campaign introduces 'Marty', a character who is intended to personify the 'local and friendly' image of the chain and give the brand greater definition in the cluttered entertainment market.

The switch is a marked departure from previous campaigns that used taglines such as 'The choice is Ezy', 'Video Ezy movie guarantee', 'Relax' and 'There is more to see at Video Ezy' to establish the chain as a household name.

The latest work carries the tagline 'Ezy does it'.

There are more than 500 Video Ezy stores in total throughout Australia.

Video Ezy claims to be the market leader in its category and cites research claiming it boasts the most outstanding customer service across the country.

Radio, point of sale and consumer touch-points will run alongside the TV commercials.

The revamped image follows a new JV deal struck earlier this year that will enable Video Ezy customers to download videos on demand from the chain via the internet, called EZY+.
