8. Three different mobile campaigns Corona “Win a beach getaway”CornettoReebok- “You got rondo’d”.

9. Corona“Win a Beach getaway”What is it about?Full screen invitation on consumers mobile phoneto “get a glimpse of your beach getaway.”Then, a blank Polaroid style photograph appearedConsumers were asked to shake their phone in order to develop the picture.There were also further options to watch a video about the vacation, and of course to enter the contest.

10. Important factor about itThe ad is inserted seamlessly into the consumer experience. For example, the ad runs in-between levels of a mobile game. The consumer finishes one level, interacts with the ad, and then goes straight back to their game with no interruption.

11. About it…Verysimple Focusontheinteractiveexperience. Game. The ad is inserted seamlessly into the consumer experience. Individual experience.

12. Cornetto

13. What is it about?What is it?Outdoor, multi-player, mobile enabled game. Where? Big and crowded Square in Istambul, use the front of a building to project a game: ‘pac man’ type game. How it worked A special number was projected onto the building wall, which consumers could dial to beconnected to the game. A system welcomed them and explained the game. Each player was assigned a different color character on the “screen”. The objective was to move the character around and catch 3 Cornetto ice cream cones in less than 45 seconds. • Players controlled their characters simply by using the keys of their phone - 2 for up,4 for left, 5 for down, 6 for right. A “mobile joy stick”. If you were able to catch three cones, then your player got a big heart on the screen, and you received an SMS with a coupon that you could redeem for a real Cornetto at the event bar.

14. Special about it…CornettopositioningCornettoice creams can act as an icebreaker and maybe even help you overcome shyness.So does the campaign since it’s public. Event Not inserted in the consumers experience Pre campaign Public. Communal experience rather than private-multiplayer.People who don’t play it, can see it.On average over 100 per hour played the game, and close to 3 million people saw the project in action. Association of mobile and another media-dependent on another media. Not only mobile campaign Competition element involved. Open event Time based- the game itself ran for 15 evenings, two hours each evening in the summer of 2010.

15. Reebok“You got Rondo’d”

16. What is it?2008The boston Celtics reached the NBA FINAL for the first time in 20 years. Key moment for basketball history: ancient rivalry between Celtics and theLakers. Reebok. Celebrate that john rondo, a Reebok sponsored athlete, was playing the game and a key player for the Celtics. Creative key for the thinking. Concept “U got Rondo ‘d” 1-People signed up in a digital platform to each of the games and the finals.2- Whenever rondo performed, a signature moved and a virtual button was pushed that automatically triggered calls to thousand of mobile phones. 3- All over the US phones rang out with the ring tone “you got rondo’d” whenever he made a greate play. 4-Pick up the phone- instant messages from ex celtic legends providing instant pay-off for the consumer in real time as they watched the game unfold.

17. Why different? Better?The media is the message. Ringtone.Mobile phone played the main role in the campaign.Use of mobile in order to express a bigger message and not for the sake of it.Created a “claim”, “expression” that is now used all over the basketball community.Picked in an event/situation that already existed, that already got much attention and introduced mobile to enhance people’s experience of the situation, rather than the opposite, example Cornetto: creating a situation for people to use their mobiles.
