Kellogg's:::Football Superstar


Cereal brand Kellogg Nutri-Grain (KNG) sought to appeal to teenage boys (13-17 year old) and get them to pester their mums to purchase the brand. The brand already had a strong heritage with Iron Man in Australia, but this format did not retain relevance over winter months.
Kellogg recognized that teens were spending less time with traditional media, and so wanted to create engaging content for them.
The target audience loves sport and hanging out with their friends at a stage in their life where their body is transforming. So KNG launched the “Australian Idol” for football. This was a nationwide search for the next Football Superstar, culminating in a primetime, appointment to view, 8-week piece of branded content on the pay TV channel Fox8.
Teens had the chance to win a professional contract with Sydney FC, a scholarship to Macquarie University and the chance to be the new face of KNG. A multi-media campaign launched inviting 16-21 year olds (who are peers of influence and inspiration to our youngest consumers) to nationwide trials.
A final 15 were selected for the show and they lived and trained together for a month to battle it out to be the next Football Superstar, with one being eliminated each week. KNG was integrated into the show with branded balls and jerseys. This was leveraged with the Football Superstar website where people could find extra content from the show, training tips from Sydney FC players, interactive games and live web chats with stars from the show.
As a result, Football Superstar became the most successful series in terms of viewers across all FOX8 local productions, with an average of 120,000 viewers per episode. The online campaign reached more than 1.8m teens and ther were 26,125 visitors to the mobile site.

Pepsi plugs into a classic teenage dream with “Rising”, a TV advert in which a young man climbs a pile of seemingly impossible odds to fulfil his goals, finally reaching the mantra, “I can”. A young man sips on a can of Pepsi as he surveys a huge mound of objects. He sets off to climb through the symbolic collection, yelling “I can’t hear you” every time his peers, family and teachers discourage his dream.

Band-Aid:::Stuck on me

Johnson & Johnson’s new Band-Aid Perfect Fit bandage was a high-tech adhesive plaster that used advanced Japanese technology. Band-Aid wanted to launch the product in a way that would remind one generation of a trusted brand they grew up with and win over a whole new one.

Band-Aid decided to reintroduce a much beloved and previously successful brand jingle “Stuck on Me” to a new generation of Canadian families. Band-Aid products are usually purchased by mothers during the summer, when outdoor activities are in full swing. Band-Aid decided to team up with Canadian Idol, the top-rated music show in Canada to launch the Perfect Fit plaster. It launched a nationwide talent search that would offer consumers the opportunity to give the Stuck on Me jingle a musical makeover. Canada would then vote and pick a winner online. A series of TV spots were created  that mimicked Canadian Idol’s talent search, featuring performers singing their own rendition of Stuck on Me. All communication drove people to Stuckonme.ctv.ca and encouraged families to audition by recording a video and uploading their performance to the website. As an added incentive, the winner would receive a holiday for their family.

As a result Stuck on Idol became the most successful cross-promotion in the history of CTV. There were more than 155,000 this and 13,000 votes on the stuckonme.ctv.ca site. The brand experienced a $5.3 share gain.

Turkcell:::Tone & Win

Turkcell wanted to increase mobile marketing revenue and create customer loyalty.

Turkcell launched a ring-back advertising platform, Tone & Win, which rewards customers with credits or minutes for willingly allowing their phone to become an advertising medium. By opting in, the customer’s incoming ringtone when a friend calls them is replaced with a brand’s jingle instead. This means that anyone calling the person who has signed up to the service, even if they are signed up to a competitor mobile phone operator, will hear this advertising. The consumer can select which sort of advertising jingle to use as a ring-back tone, thus essentially recommending that brand. Some ads get more rewards than others.

So when Whirlpool ran a campaign during Christmas, listeners heard an actress wishing them Merry Christmas. Meanwhile Turkish bank Isbank ran a message wishing people a happy near year. The payment model works a bit like Google Adwords – they get more availability by offering higher rewards than the rest. The cost per listen model charges the advertisers based on the amount of ring-back tone (RBT) the caller hears. Advertisers include Axe, Adios, Turkcell, Dacia and Pinar.

As a result, Turkcell has achieved a 338% monthly increase in Tone & Win members. They create a monthly impression rate of 100,000,000.
