The spot will subsequently make its way onto Web sites like mtv.com and vh1.com as well as onto television, including Chanel’s first buys of commercial time on American broadcast networks in 15 years.<br /><br />The campaign for Coco Mademoiselle is being created internally at Chanel by executives who include Jacques Helleu, the company’s longtime artistic director. An interactive agency, the Vanksen Group, is working with the internal creative team on the digital elements of the campaign.<br /><br />The campaign has a worldwide budget of at least $10 million, according to the trade publication Women’s Wear Daily. Chanel executives are not discussing the budget nor how much of it is being devoted to online initiatives, but it clearly is far more than the company has ever spent in cyberspace.<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Below are a few example of the online component which goes into great depth about the style and the items in the apartment of "Mademoiselle":<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIcMOAgcomIRsV9f0C0n2mgfNofMW_4184bs8B5Z9fM6s39BPfVY8Q23dHOEGXWwh3AuRxGf1xQS3OVVOVy8YSmncIZR5tGDoE_XPDgkCa2oyDY_5DOv9UgWkvexp4FDQQ_uzMqoXbHQIJ/s1600-h/Picture+15.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5109510204542455906" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIcMOAgcomIRsV9f0C0n2mgfNofMW_4184bs8B5Z9fM6s39BPfVY8Q23dHOEGXWwh3AuRxGf1xQS3OVVOVy8YSmncIZR5tGDoE_XPDgkCa2oyDY_5DOv9UgWkvexp4FDQQ_uzMqoXbHQIJ/s400/Picture+15.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 293px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkMWDH9weKT3xB6DUhWgGzgvGl117yK9Eyq9V6SQu13SmKj2AWlngjpB-X_yTOs65BsAS-1StTW-hBfBMTNiQDXEnllIKQJxyKmlC5_hp2pzt1z87KXt7og_FYZayUW4O8MSXmTRUtNWwV/s1600-h/Picture+16.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5109511140845326450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkMWDH9weKT3xB6DUhWgGzgvGl117yK9Eyq9V6SQu13SmKj2AWlngjpB-X_yTOs65BsAS-1StTW-hBfBMTNiQDXEnllIKQJxyKmlC5_hp2pzt1z87KXt7og_FYZayUW4O8MSXmTRUtNWwV/s400/Picture+16.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 298px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggu0S9GIeri_JfjmusWY36UvmoofZwhmV9raGRFQ1F7u2wjzk1xout85lvtQEA2EHvyNdi4v2-K7tzqENnqEZOSHKlK7D9vtEcVoO2_PHDbudMthimtlDdUbi272BbnGaTw7qTZnGnrWIb/s1600-h/Picture+18.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5109511364183625858" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggu0S9GIeri_JfjmusWY36UvmoofZwhmV9raGRFQ1F7u2wjzk1xout85lvtQEA2EHvyNdi4v2-K7tzqENnqEZOSHKlK7D9vtEcVoO2_PHDbudMthimtlDdUbi272BbnGaTw7qTZnGnrWIb/s400/Picture+18.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 525px; height: 471px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmPUFayE_JIb6V0BhvyLVWkCVtuZh_CZ5nta-JfidLC9ueIwSag6uUWW0i0_Sq4B9dY8BqjWwI5Wgnp-G3mYY5SOQhtrPp8q7eP3uaVksq9TsAFaqGG0BIlUH7EWc5prUD9jGZQGyQ6Ds2/s1600-h/Picture+20.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5109511862399832210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmPUFayE_JIb6V0BhvyLVWkCVtuZh_CZ5nta-JfidLC9ueIwSag6uUWW0i0_Sq4B9dY8BqjWwI5Wgnp-G3mYY5SOQhtrPp8q7eP3uaVksq9TsAFaqGG0BIlUH7EWc5prUD9jGZQGyQ6Ds2/s400/Picture+20.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 525px; height: 396px;" /></a><br />and there's some neat 'behind-the-scenes' stuff on the site as well:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifBoK2PelkBSeeuOobHvBmyw5cxkvWjpCDA42mk00J-MRElPNlAZMNZRTze9TfS3yoOOQw0D7yJGmeGJiJNpR959Ddo6zOgXiNKJsiRYvLPMp-WhaXmIpVXwsrPla5Br7I2eqAfU4YXrKB/s1600-h/Picture+27.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5109512983386296482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifBoK2PelkBSeeuOobHvBmyw5cxkvWjpCDA42mk00J-MRElPNlAZMNZRTze9TfS3yoOOQw0D7yJGmeGJiJNpR959Ddo6zOgXiNKJsiRYvLPMp-WhaXmIpVXwsrPla5Br7I2eqAfU4YXrKB/s400/Picture+27.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 525px; height: 351px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7MKSwLjAbgo-AjJMsvWi_B6ZMDCx57KPfOLEM-xzfjD-pGozJMnaB2Dx708rxYrIAviRo8e0u-9KBdlAMOvx2Z_tpOBwUFQvMVSuoy2zpDJGZx5xUkBqez36CIGzIwFDc8srLxDzYUlup/s1600-h/Picture+26.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5109513155184988338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7MKSwLjAbgo-AjJMsvWi_B6ZMDCx57KPfOLEM-xzfjD-pGozJMnaB2Dx708rxYrIAviRo8e0u-9KBdlAMOvx2Z_tpOBwUFQvMVSuoy2zpDJGZx5xUkBqez36CIGzIwFDc8srLxDzYUlup/s400/Picture+26.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 524px; height: 360px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.coco-mademoiselle.com/"><br />Click here and check it out for yourself.</a>
