The BBC plans to promote its two new digital children's channels
CBBC and Cbeebies, and its web site and interactive services, via an
on- and off-air campaign launching on February 4. The four trails for
Cbeebies, the channel for under-fives, by DFGW, follow the Cbeebies
'bugs' travelling through key shows in the schedule, such as Tweenies
and Teletubbies. The off-air work includes 1.5 million mailshots to
playgroups and doctors' surgeries, and press and poster ads. The CBBC
campaign introduces the strapline 'Back off Grandma' and CBBC 'bugs'
will infiltrate key shows across BBC One and BBC Two. The off-air
element includes press ads, 1.6 million postcards in schools and
cinemas, online work and a guerrilla street campaign.
