in hollywood, everyone's a quadrant...

My podcasting partner Rachel and I love to compare notes on business meeting Fails, as we're often at conferences, in executive discussions or have vendors pitching their services.

Today, Rachel had someone throw out the term "Four Quadrant" out of context.

Four Quadrant is movie marketing terminology that basically means the film is targeted to all audiences (M25+, W25+, M-25, W-25).

It generally works as a theory, but in Hollywood it's virtually impossible to "create" a Four Quadrant film.

If it helps, let's look at some examples:

Avatar is a definite Four Quadrant film.
The Muppets is a Three Quadrant film.
The Artist is a Two Quadrant film.
Contraband is a One Quadrant Film.
The Adventures of Tintin is a No Quadrant film.

in the madness of marketing...

At the crossroads of low-brow horror and time-wasting chatroulette lies this little gem of a grass roots marketing scheme...

niche marketing...

Is it me, or does this marketing effort from Touchstone Pictures seem a little far out?

Targeting fans of Napoleon Dynamite, they've taken out viral messages on Facebook to point out the guy who played Pedro is in their When in Rome...



Nope, I still won't see it.
