ERMP rolls out promos for 2011 Television Season
Network launches media push

ERMP is going on offense, launching a media push this week to tout its North Carolina arts and entertainment media industry leadership strength heading into 2011.

ERMP will use a variety of media platforms -- including web, television and movies in order to push its "Celebrate the Arts - ENO" campaign. ERMP also has submitted press releases to print outlets recently in the North Carolina markets to promote its status as the leading nonprofit organization promoting the independent television and movie industry in North Carolina.

"We wanted to position ourselves as separate and apart, as the only organization that has shown growth while others struggle," said ERMP President Joe Johnson.

"We want to clearly distinguish ERMP from the rest of the pack, and position ourselves beyond just a collection of movie making directors. We have to get our message to communities beyond Wilmington and Charlotte, NC," said ERMP Executive Director Anthony Dowling.

"We believe in the power of advertising and importance of the arts in our everyday lives," Dowling said.

Dowling said the tagline "Celebrate the Arts - ENO" was created just for this campaign, but that there's a possibility the organization might adopt the slogan for other marketing uses.
