“We used Story Maker to get the word out there for BlackBerry Z-10 and Q10 and Q5 versions – [take] quick photos, compiled them and made them into a quick, concise and impactful video. Posted it on our Facebook page or Twitter, it’s amazing,” explained Kathleen Muller, BlackBerry Philippines carrier sales manager.
The TVC ‘Your City, Your Video’ was also shown during the launch of the BlackBerry Q5. The video shows international music icon Alicia Keys endorsing the brand. “Well, Alicia Keys is one of those BlackBerry people. It’s about accomplishing certain things especially on the go. Alicia Keys, (because she had been to) so many world concerts that she’s done,” said Muller.
