Food marketer Kellogg’s and a cyberspace fashion commerce company are mounting separate movie apps. Kellogg’s offers a free casual video game for mobile devices tied to “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” and fashionista enabler StylePic links to “The Other Woman.”

Apps are applications, which are shortcuts to websites that size video

and maximize functionality on mobile devices like smart phones. The two apps indicate how movie promotions increasingly have an online component, or in the case of StylePic are completely online. So tie-in promotions are not just point of purchase signs in stores and messages on product boxes.

For the “Spidey” casual game, a Kellogg’s press release says consumers of its products run up points on its rewards program accompanying sweepstakes offers superhero fans more than 1,000 prizes, including a grand prize trip for two to New York City. One thousand movie fans also will win free Movie Tickets.

Kellogg’s products tied to the “Spidey” promotion include Frosted Flakes, Pop Tarts, Froot Loops and Cheez-it. Sony Pictures will release “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” in the U.S./Canadian market on May 2.

Elsewhere, StylePic has a promotion with “The Other Woman,” which 20th Century Fox premieres next Friday. StylePic is an app that lets the user identify clothing brands from pictures, which is handy for consumers who want to track down fashions for purchase.

So why is 20th Century Fox Involved asks a StylePic press release? Easy. Studios are currently searching for additional avenues to market their content, if there is a fashion, commerce and marketing play, why not explore? “The Other Woman” starring Leslie Mann, Cameron Diaz, Kate Upton, and Nikki Minaj is full of fashion thanks to well-known stylist Patricia Fields. Fans will now be able to shop the characters’ looks using StylePic.
