  • Objectives: To increase brand awareness, generate front-end sales and develop a profitable continuity program.

Founded in 1992, Rosetta Stone has become the world’s No. 1 language-learning software for individuals and institutions, used by millions of people in over 150 countries.

In 2008, Rosetta Stone employed Script to Screen to develop an infomercial campaign that would increase brand awareness, generate front-end sales and develop a profitable continuity business. The theme of the infomercial was to show dramatic life improvement…enriching and improving every facet of one’s life through fast and easy, and fun language learning.

Hosted by foreign travel correspondent Tracy Gallagher, with contribution from Dr. Bob Arnot, former Chief Correspondent for the Today Show and Dateline NBC, the infomercial successfully illustrates the uniqueness of the product by creatively demonstrating how the system works. It introduces testimonials from all walks of life; people who have experienced life-changing benefits and personal enrichment through learning a new language with RosettaStone.

The infomercial was successfully launched in August 2008, and rolled out nationally soon after. It consistently ranks in the IMS Top 100, and to date has reached as high as No. 18. In April 2009, the Rosetta Stone company went public, and the following May posted first quarter revenue of $50.3 million, an increase of 41% over the same period in 2008.
