To support Office Depot's 2013 Back-to-School effort, AGAIN partnered
with Office Depot to launch a rich social experience that served as the
primary online destination for OD's "#Together Against Bullying"
collaboration with the band One Direction (1D). Office Depot would
sell exclusive, limited-edition 1D merchandise and would donate a
portion of the proceeds to fund an educational anti-bullying
campaign in schools across the country.

Tasked with leveraging the massive popularity of One Direction to

audience, the team created a fully integrated social experience
designed to drive maximal awareness of the campaign among One
Direction fans, encourage sharing of content and overall engagement
at scale, and of course, drive product sales.

THE CHALLENGE

4. © 2009-2014, AGAIN Interactive – Proprietary + Confidential
The team created a social activation that
capitalized on fans’ enthusiasm, transforming
them into campaign advocates.
Using our proprietary Good Influence
technology, we challenged 1D fans to share
campaign content and drive site visits in
exchange for a chance to win special
merchandise.
Each fan who registered was challenged to
to prove they were one of 1D’s 50 biggest
fans by driving the most clicks to the
campaign website from a custom link
generated by the Good Influence
application. The technology provided a user
home page for each participant to track
their results and facilitate their social posting
of campaign content.

The team also created a socially-fueled
campaign hub on OfficeDepot.com which
incentivized purchase behavior by providing
unique opportunities to create and showcase
content.
The page was sectioned into 4 pieces:
• Products
• An application to facilitate users’ creation of
custom social profile artwork
• A promotional panel for the Good Influence
contest
• A social “hub” featuring user-generated
content featuring the #together hashtag
Visitors were also able to click through to a
gallery containing exclusive One Direction GIFs
and video content.
