Last week, Jun Group was asked to deliver a case study presentation at the iMedia iMoms Summit in Orlando, Florida.
Mitchell Reichgut, founder and CEO of Jun Group and Brandi Unchester, senior brand manager, frozen and refrigerated breakfast at Aunt Jemima Frozen Breakfast, a Pinnacle Foods Group brand, teamed up to present: “Just Like Homemade” Social Video Recipe for Success.”
The case study showcased Aunt Jemima Frozen Breakfast’s plant in Tennessee, and the brand’s “just like homemade” story. Jun Group’s social video program was at the heart of a hugely successful online advertising campaign that delivered millions of highly targeted video views, over 150,000 coupon downloads, and more than 238,000 Facebook likes.
The videos ran on social games and mobile devices, driving an unprecedented number of opt-in video views and social interactions. The campaign was so successful that Aunt Jemima went on to use the videos for the brand’s first TV campaign since 2006.

According to Jun Group’s COO Corey Weiner, “Lina has consistently delivered an outstanding level of customer service for our clients, while helping to shape her department, improve our products, and our internal processes. We’re delighted to name her as our company’s newest director.”
Way to go Lina and congratulations on a well-deserved promotion!
Recently, we completed a social video campaign for Powerade. The campaign, which ran during the final weekend of March Madness, drove more than half-a-million views and tens-of-thousands of earned-media actions, most notably, replays of “The Time-Out” video. You can watch it below.
Below is a photo of Mitchell in action at ad:tech. Lastly, a big thanks to Adam and ad:tech, especially Content Director Tameka Kee for the opportunity!

In the press release, King.com’s Mark Charkin summed up the partnership best, “Jun Group’s non-interruptive model is the perfect fit for us because it allows our players to participate when they want to. They remain in control the whole time.”
We are delighted to be working with Mark and King.com!
Mitchell’s guest post delivers the “Pros” and “Cons” of click-to-play units, panel ads on YouTube and Facebook, and social and blog video ads. His conclusion: long-form video has the ability to deliver results that cannot be achieved through standard pre-roll placements. Hope you enjoy the article.
