17 THE CHALLENGE Street / urban female (core 14-18) fashion brand Build brand credibility and widen awareness Brand owner and retailers very analogue consumers 100% digital Came to us to develop their ‘non-functioning site’

18 THE STRATEGY Both the Planning Guy & Content Guy established that the communication had to: Reﬂect target’s growing but changing media consumption Go where they go / listen to what they have to say  not site redevelopment but use of social media Create new touch point & offer visitors more value and a richer experience Established that ‘paid for’ media was only a minor element of the campaign Move all media spend online and the Content Guy to deliver an integrated Bebo campaign to engage the audience where they are. The Optimisation Guy worked with the Bebo team to access all channels of measurement.

THE SOLUTION 19 Integrated solution within the 1st series of Sofia’s Diary THE OPTIMISATION (online soap) – storyline integration / product placement / cast dressed in golddigga / Monitoring the comments and forums on competitions the golddigga profile established attitudes and interests of Profile and editorial spotlight created on Bebo including our audience weekly graphic novel following five friends A regular topic was music, and underage Users encouraged to download golddigga Bebo ‘skin’ festivals  this was fed back to and to actively market to their friends content and planning guys The result was an offline experiential solution  involved wrapping an Audi in pink vinyl, emblazoned with golddigga, Bebo and Sophia’s Diary logos The car was taken to underage music events and goody bags handed out This sparked pictures and comments of the car being posted on the golddigga profile and around Bebo Due to the response a bespoke golddigga car profile skin was created

20 THE RESULTS Did it work? Beyond even our wildest expectations In just the first three months of going live, the campaign on Bebo directly delivered almost 30 million branded impacts to girls aged 13 to 24. Over 5,000 people asked to become a friend of golddigga Bebo. The brand profile was viewed by almost 90,000 people, and golddigga branded skins were downloaded to over 23,000 personal profiles delivering at the very least 1.1 million personally endorsed brand messages to their friends. We developed content, however the profile became self perpetuating as the users created content quicker than we could… And perhaps most importantly, the phone started to ring. Calls came from major fashion retail chains like Republic. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT Follow our ‘friends’ as they mature, to their new social media (Facebook, LastFM) and continue the engagement with different technology
