Reebok:::Your Reebok

BRAND: Reebok

BRAND OWNER: Adidas Reebok

CATEGORY :Accessories/ Clothing/ Footwear

REGION :Global

DATE :Mar 2009 - Dec 2008

Reebok was looking for an exciting way of engaging consumers with the brand. Customisation had been a popular part of reebok.com for over two years and it wanted to take this a step further into the mobile space. Reebok has created an iPhone application, Your Reebok, that allows consumers to fully customize, and have the option to buy, a pair of Reebok shoes. People who download the application from the iTunes App Store can customize three shoe models: The Freestyle, The Classic Leather and The Ventilator. The designer can change up to 23 areas of the shoe, with a choice of 19 colours, four material options and adding personalized text. The designs can be shared with friends via email link or the whole world from the application – with the design being geo-tagged and added to the Your Reebok global community map. From the map all the other shared designs can be viewed and either bought or used as a canvas for customisation.

Terminator Salvation :::Twitter as movie marketing platform

BRAND: Terminator Salvation

BRAND OWNER: Sony Pictures

CATEGORY: Entertainment

REGION :Global

DATE :Apr 2009 - May 2009

To promote Sony Pictures latest release, Terminator Salvation, the brand is taking over Twitter with an international game that can be played 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The premise is that Twitter users can help in the fight against Skynet and the Terminators.
Twitter members must follow Terminator Salvation on Twitter @resistance2018 and also log in on 2018blog.com. They then have to watch for tweets from @resistance2018 and respond to ‘Resistance Assignments’ quickly via @replies with hash tags to @resistance 2018 or through the blog.

Assignments include word mixes – a jumble of letters that need to be unscrambled; trivia – simple questions about the movie; and partial transmission – where some letters are missing from a word and you must fill it out.

Answers must be submitted to @resistance2018 using hash tags representing each of the types of task, so #RA:WM for word mix, #RA:PT for partial transmission and #RA:TR for trivia. Responses to assignments must be sent within 2 hours. Any response received after this are not counted.
Each correct answer gives the player points to advance on the leader-board and achieve higher ranks in the Resistance Army.
