My Week with Branding

 Over the years, Sprout has had a few brandings and ad campaigns to promote itself. Now, I’m not talking about the first, second, and third generations, but rather some of Sprout's ad campaigns and prominent brandings.

• Live Sprout
• Purple Television
• Out of the Box

Now, the reason why there was no post for Wednesday is that I ran out of topics relating to this week's theme to post about. Instead I posted a new Weekly Character Wednesdays post on Star you can read here!

My Week with Branding: Live Sprout

 In 2010, Sprout made two commercials shot in Baltimore, Maryland and edited by film editor Michael Patrick O'Leary for Protagonist Films. (source)

The "Live Sprout" ad campaign was created by The Chase, who also worked on the Save Sprout website, the Snowman-o-Grams online game, and Sprout merchandise. (source)

The branding was also used on billboards…

…and online.

Anyways, this seemed like a fun ad campaign for Sprout with a cute slogan. I also remember the commercials distinctively!

My Week with Branding: A Lot Happens When You Sprout: A further look

I talked about the "A Lot Happens When You Sprout" ad campaign in a previous post on this blog, but now, since the post was mostly about a commercial, we're going to take a deep dive into it.

When the A Lot Happens When You Sprout ad campaign launched in 2011, two commercials were made for it. The commercials aired on both Sprout and the NBC Kids block on NBC.

In addition, a few banner ads and promo pictures were made.

…And the slogan was also used in other ads for the channel.

…And even on a bus!

A section of Sproutonline.com was made called Project ZONKED, in which parents could upload videos of their children and make them into Sprout commercials with the slogan, like this one…
