Tung Fong Hung launches online campaign

GLOBAL - Traditional Chinese health supplement Tung Fong Hung has signed up with TVB.com to run its first online branding campaign, in a deal which will also see the brand take title sponsorship duties for the Super Trio Supreme programme on TVB and TVB.com.

The deal will attempt to promote Tung Fong Hung’s key Lingzhi capsule product.

The show itself is attempting to target a global Chinese audience by running behind-the-scenes video clips and programme highlights on the newly-relaunched TVB.com website.

“Our previous targeted advertisers for online marketing were mainly young brands like Sony, Nike, Coca-Cola,” explained TVB.com chief operating officer Ivy Wong.

“Tung Fong Hung is a really traditional brand for mature customers, so you could hardly expect they would advertise online.

“But our mission is to attract a more mature audience to go online and the younger audience for TV.”

The online advertising offers an interactive element, where consumers can receive a cash discount coupon after proving information. Online creative was handled by TVB.com.

Super Trio Supreme is one of Hong Kong’s most watched shows, with a viewership proportion of 38 per cent.
Recently, the show inked a deal whereby it is also co-broadcast with Astro TV in Malaysia.

Several of the programmes are being shot on location in Malaysia this month.
