|
 |
|
| Step 1 |
 |
| Brief: Our mission was to raise awareness of the |
 |
| damage resistant mobile Samsung B2100, and |
 |
| demonstrate its product benefits in an |
 |
| entertaining way. |
 |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
| Step 2 |
 |
| We placed 70 mobiles on a glass table high above |
 |
| a water tank and a concrete floor, and prepared for a |
 |
| buzzing campaign on the site |
 |
| samsungshakedown.com. |
 |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
| Step 3 |
 |
| Pre campaign buzz: In the week leading up to |
 |
| campaign start people could visit the site and see |
 |
| the mobiles on the table. Here they could guess |
 |
| which phone that would be the last one to fall off |
 |
| the table. Those who guess right, entered a draw |
 |
| to win a Samsung B2100. |
 |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
| Step 4 |
 |
| Campaign start: On the day of the campaign, the |
 |
| vibrators were switched on for each mobile. Every |
 |
| phone had its own number that people could call |
 |
| to vibrate the phone over the table edge. Because |
 |
| nobody answered, the calls were free of charge. |
 |
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
| Step 5 |
 |
| Four cameras filmed the mobiles and streamed |
 |
| the video to the site, so that people could follow |
 |
| the mobile race from four different angles. |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
| Step 6 |
 |
| Within seconds, thousands of people were calling |
 |
| the mobiles, trying to make them fall down on the |
 |
| concrete floor or into the water tank. |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
| Step 7 |
 |
| The person whose call caused a mobile to fall, won |
 |
| that mobile. |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
| Step 8 |
 |
| After the mobiles had fallen off the table, people |
 |
| could still call the mobiles to see if they worked. |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
| Step 9 |
 |
| The campaign was run in several rounds, and each |
 |
| time the winners were announced afterwards and |
 |
| notified by SMS and online. |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
| Step 10 |
 |
| The winners got the (almost) new phone delivered |
 |
| by mail. |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
| Step 11 |
 |
| The campaign spread through non-paid media only. |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
| Step 12 |
 |
| The impact on sales was astonishing. The campaign |
 |
| was launched late october. Within two months sales |
 |
| had increased by almost 100%. No other marketing |
 |
| efforts took place in Sweden at the time. |
