EVANSTON, IL - I Imagine Studio is excited to announce the launch of www.peewee.com. This brand-new, energetic web site has been introduced in a timely manner to promote a new show by Pee-Wee Herman, set to open in Lo Angeles on Jan. 21, 2010. The show will mark the start of what creator Paul Reubens hopes will be a great comeback for Pee-Wee.
The fully-interactive website is catching much attention for its colorful design, cheerful holiday music, and outstanding list of reach media features. Visitors to the site can buy tickets to the show, register with the site to become one of Pee-Wee’s “pen pals” and get a chance to win tickets, and also purchase DVDs of The Pee-Wee Herman Show, Pee-Wee’s Christmas Special, and Pee-Wee’s Playhouse boxed set.
A pop-out television screen allows users to watch hilarious video clips of Pee-Wee and the other characters from his old show, Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, and also browse a gallery of photos, creatively displayed as antique picture frames hanging on a spotlighted wall. There is also a download section of the site where visitors can download free desktop images and whimsical icons of Pee-Wee and his gang.
Incorporating social media into the new website has been received with enormously positive feedback. Links to Pee-Wee’s Twitter and Facebook pages from the new website, as well as Pee-Wee’s own social community on Ning, have built up his fan base even more. “We are very excited to see Pee-Wee’s community grow via Facebook and Twitter. The social media has been one of the most important features for the site,” said Olga Weiss, Creative Director at I Imagine. Thanks to the website directing traffic, Pee-Wee now has nearly 70,000 Facebook friends and continues to grow.
With its clever design and easy-to-use tools, the new website provides an enjoyable experience for children and adults alike, and only adds to the fun and excitement of Pee-Wee Herman’s comeback show.
