We created an interactive and personalized red carpet (black and gold in the case of Miller) moment for all invitees. We integrated the app with social media platforms for the brand and consumers where able to share their brand experiences on the go throughout the event.
Miller
We turned a standard sms underliner promotion into a consumer engaging experience by translating the mechanics into an app that allows customers to check their accumulated points’ using underliner codes while they are out drinking with their buddies. The app was designed to offer the same ‘sms and win’ experience without the need for a phone and it offered instant gratification to consumers who wished to play their points. .
St Louis Export
In the build up to this coverted football tournament, our challenge was to engage soccer lovers and help highlight the client's sponsorship. Our activation was a 'match my skill' app that consumers had to emulate. They had a choice to mimick the app or profesional ball jugglers were brought in for the activation. The result was an increased interest in the tournament and ticket sales as well as improved brand sponsorship association.
kabelano charity cup
We built an engaging recruitment platform that allowed prospective students to confirm their grades, see what they qualify for based on their entry, apply and submit their preferred choices at the ‘tap’ of a button. This personal engagement resulted in increased traffic at the Boitekanelo stall and we reached recruitment quota within the first 48 hours.
Boitekanelo College
We developed a social media campaign termed ‘VIP experience’ . The online campaign generated interest in the airline, garnered positive feedback in the face of unforseen service lapses.
Air Botswana
We created several activation executions that engaged consumers to deliver the intended actions including
Smart Swipe: A digitally driven campaign (engaging customers through app) that highlights the reasons why people should swipe including a focus on the ‘things’ to swipe for.
Barclays Bank
Card is King: We deployed a money vault/money blower driven activation that rewarded customers that swipe instead of using cash.
Barclays Bank
All You Can Grab Trolley Dash: Using the trolley dash concept we rewarded customers with a trolley dash shopping experience and raised the awareness of card usage as well as total swipes in participating merchants.
Barclays Bank
Castle Lager wanted to increase sales volumes in bars and bottle stores without spending too much money on above the line call to action. We created an interactive app that allowed customers that bought the product to have a go at winning branded merchandise on the spot. Since the objective was increased volumes, the app was designed to encourage repeat purchases.
