AUSTIN, Texas — April 2, 2008 — Tocquigny, a forward-thinking interactive marketing firm that provides companies with effective, leading-edge innovation for the digital age, today announced a partnership with the producers of the Austin-based independent film, The Sno Cone Stand, Inc. Chosen for their digital marketing expertise and creativity, Tocquigny designed and launched a promotional website for the film, which is expected to release this summer.
The Sno Cone Stand, Inc. is a comedy, written and directed by Travis Knapp, about three young stockbroker trainees who hate their jobs and their overbearing boss at Miller Stinch Financial. They will try just about anything, including selling sno cones “to climb their way down the corporate ladder.” The film stars Tony Sirico, from The Sopranos, as the arrogant CEO of Miller Stinch Financial and Texas-native Morgan Fairchild as sales manager. Michael Dell, John Paul Dejoria, Paul Carozza and Ruthie Foster appear in the film.
“Even though the film has some big names, everything about it is Austin,” said Knapp. “What we needed was an interactive marketing agency that could build a website to attract a large audience without detracting from the film’s Austin character. Who better to do that than the Austin-based interactive agency, Tocquigny, who has a 28-year history in the city and occupies the 17th floor of the Frost Bank Tower?”
The website features colorful content and visuals that optimize user participation and experience through elements such as on-set photos of the cast, trailers, email sign-ups and links to sponsoring businesses. Recognizing the film’s Austin personality, the site delivers extra flair by displaying the Austin skyline on its homepage.
“The website showcases the best and brightest of Austin talent in both interactive media marketing and film and will no doubt have great success generating publicity,” said Yvonne Tocquigny. “We’re very excited to provide our digital expertise to Austin’s booming film industry.”
